Happy new year to my friends and colleagues around the world. 2024 is important to our efforts to promote inclusion and equity in education as we celebrate the 30 year anniversary of the @UNESCO Salamanca Statement. We must keep up our struggle. https://t.co/HYbjHp8lkd

"The Finnish Education System is the best in the world." - Everyone

"I can explain exactly why that is." - No one.

Well, what if I could tell you exactly why? It'd be worth at least 2 minutes of your time.

The EAPDR pathway will provide a way of working to encourage us to use those psychological models, assessment through teaching frameworks and creative person centred meetings that are so useful in supporting children and young people 👍

[Jo Ward @Jo_R_Ward]

What do EPs want for Xmas? Less report writing and more time in schools working with children and families?
Staffordshire LA are launching their new EAPDR pathway in Jan and the EPS are excited as it will enable us to share psychology more widely in more preventative ways!

@mathscpdchat @GT_Maths @EddieSarfo Regularly mix new and old learning to minimise forgetting

[Jo Ward @Jo_R_Ward]

@ADyscalculia @mathscpdchat @GT_Maths @EddieSarfo And in 2s, 3s etc forwards and backwards

[Jo Ward @Jo_R_Ward]

@mathscpdchat Explicit teaching - model lead test

[Jo Ward @Jo_R_Ward]

@mathscpdchat Massed*

[Jo Ward @Jo_R_Ward]

@mathscpdchat Distributed (spaced) rather than masses practice

[Jo Ward @Jo_R_Ward]

@mathscpdchat @GT_Maths @EddieSarfo Use semi-concrete aids as a scaffolding technique and a bridge to understanding but ensure that pupils do not rely on them. They need to be phased out to ensure learning is mastered

[Jo Ward @Jo_R_Ward]

@mathscpdchat there should be a debrief after any cpd. What impact does it have on the individual? What impact does it have on the department? #mathscpdchat

[Jo Ward @Jo_R_Ward]

@mathscpdchat An open door policy creates a positive team ethic. Collaborative planning of an observed lesson allows for more open and constructive feedback. #mathscpdchat

[Jo Ward @Jo_R_Ward]

@DreamInNumbers Understanding the difference between an error and a misconception is very important #mathscpdchat

[MrHawesMaths @HawesMaths]

@mathscpdchat Consultative approach. Depends on the level of support required but listening to wants,needs,requirements. Then planning routes forward. #mathscpdchat

[Jo Ward @Jo_R_Ward]

@mathscpdchat for any teacher new to a department the opportunity to observe pupils of different ages/skill levels in other maths lessons is very valuable.

[Jo Ward @Jo_R_Ward]

@mathscpdchat #mathscpdchat encourage new teachers to engage with maths hubs and subject associations. @ATMMathematics have lots of useful resources.
