Here's a follow-up (w videos) to my recent tweet about tools teachers can use to manage loads on their own working memory while teaching... which is IMO one of the most under-recognized challenges in teaching.

Very much back in the thick of things now and thought it would be helpful to share key resources that have helped my practice over the last few years.
1. PowerPoint Tips and Tricks sheet
Plenty of hints to enhance resources. #historyteacher 1/5🧵

I really want to introduce more reserach into my sociology teaching, and the use of published works. Thanks to @elicitorg I am able to find the research but now I am trying to think about how to use it.
What ideas do people have?
Found a wonderful website called PopAi where you can upload PDF documents and it will summarise them for you, as well as write questions on the text.
Great for Sociology when I want to include more recent research Studies.
@BrowneKen @HecticTeacher@thesociologyguy Some recent data on ethnicity and educational achievement partly via links to tables created via DfE create your own tables facility. Students might like this perhaps https://t.co/zV1x2dRxiU

Trying to move GCSE teaching away from contextless proof texts to stories with clear context.
I am drawing from CPD with @kairosbutterfly on LAaSMO & @missdcox’s DIALOG model.
We have been learning about St Paul & Corinth today before looking at 1 Cor 15. Added influence for AQA
19 fiction books by Palestinian authors: novels, short stories, and folktales.
1. My First and Only Love (2021) by Shahar Khalifeh. Nidal, an elderly exile, recounts the story when the 1948 Nakba scattered her family; a story of love and resistance from the eyes of a young girl.
‘Think and Link’ grids are proving to be a perfect recall format across all key stages. Great to do as a whole class for ‘fingertip’ recall or as an independent task from which students feed back and their links are further questioned/debated by students/teacher. #historyteacher
The curse of expertise is the idea that people who teach/coach are usually experts in their content area, & this makes them relatively blind to what people they are teaching (who are not (yet) experts) do not & will not understand... 1/x
Cognitive overload is a major challenge for learners. 😫 Tackle it using the concept of the Expertise Reversal Effect and a 3-stage approach to gradually remove the scaffolding of support.
🚨 New study on reading aloud (vs reading silently). Findings:
→ Reading aloud leads to better memory of the text
→ This makes sense, given 'the production effect'
→ However, it does *not* improve comprehension...
