It's worth checking out. It contains guidance, summaries, myth busting & scenario based training plus more.

“How do we enact something that is potentially fuzzy like 'scaffolding' or 'high expectations'? Strategies need to be distilled, concrete and practical, and we need to name them.”

✍️ "The attainment gap is cause by a variety of factors in the home and at schools – many made worse by the Covid pandemic and cost of living crises. Poverty undeniably plays a major role."

My resource Dropbox is becoming increasingly cluttered. I need to do a sort out, but in the meantime, anything new I’ve shared in the past year can be found here: https://t.co/XZ5bW2EHGO Use/chuck/change as you see fit!

[David Didau @DavidDidau]

Retrieval practice goes wrong when it becomes a ritual for teachers to perform.
The aim isn’t five questions at the start of every lesson. It’s making knowledge available when it’s needed: recalled successfully, used purposefully, corrected visibly, and strengthened for elsewhere and later.

Thinking of putting a CPD session together which includes this creative writing scheme we have been using for Y10 tutor this year.

It is 24x30 minute slots to teach transferable creative writing skills including vocab, sentence structure & atmosphere. Thoughts?

NEW RESOURCE: Just something I’m experimenting with. Using power and conflict poetry as a stimulus for writing. Thought I’d post in case it’s useful! Use/chuck/change as you see fit. https://t.co/8nYr12NTod
