It's heartbreaking when a student invests time & effort into independent revision, but it doesn't pay off! A lot of revision fails because it feels productive: rereading, highlighting, & copying notes.
But familiarity is not evidence of learning.
Responsive Revision is built on a simple principle: Generate evidence. Diagnose gaps. Close them through targeted retrieval practice.
Retrieve. 🧠
Diagnose.❓
Act. 📝
Repeat. 🔁
Super evidence snacks from @PepsMccrea this morning! If you want to know more about group rehearsal, join mine and @alexgingell session at @researchED1 national on 6th September!
Fantastic day with @PepsMccrea@C_Hendrick@Josh_CPD and @SCottinghatt focused around the science of learning and how we can develop teaching to secure positive outcomes for children. Passionate, informative and evidenced based discussions.
There are lots of ways to provide opportunities for retrieval practice inside & outside of the classroom. There are pros/cons or benefits/limitations to different techniques that's why I have always embraced variety.
As a history teacher MCQs & short answer quizzes are great for knowledge recall but students must also be given opportunities for elaboration & application too.
@m_chiles Hi Michael, this looks great and similar to something we are launching with a conference next half term and ongoing CPD next year. If you have any resources, tips or feedback you’re happy to share for inspiration, they’d be warmly welcomed.

***ASSESSMENT***
Assessment is the bridge between teaching and learning. When effective it provides rich information to determine how much and how well students have learnt the intended curriculum.
In classrooms, assessment is an integral part of teaching. All interactions with students during a lesson are a potential opportunity to gather information to monitor students success against the intended curriculum aims.
What are we working on @LHS_HighSchool ?

Lots of great CPD at Meols Cop in these early weeks, thought I’d share some of the treats
Our first Leaders are Readers session where we read an excerpt from the intro to The Power of Teams & discussed as an SLT

I'm currently working on a 4-part Netflix-style documentary aiming to capture and explain (with research) the world's best teaching 😱
Should be ready Jan 25.
“Culture eats strategy for breakfast.”
To build a strong culture for learning in schools it needs to be taught not caught.
✅ Clarity over vagueness
✅ Consistency over intensity
✅ Fundamentals over fads
✅ Support over undermining
✅ Listening over dismissing
