@MissTBegum @msybibi @CST_London Being reflective in Teaching profession is really important indeed , that means unlearning, conscious effort and growth mindset.

Reminded me of this https://t.co/46SQoxLfkj

[Carl Hendrick @C_Hendrick]

Expert teachers do not simply “notice more”; they have routinised ways of scanning the class, briefly zoom in on the disruption, then rapidly re engage with everyone else. Novices, by contrast, show more scattered, exploratory gaze behaviour and are more easily pulled off their routine. https://t.co/XNoH6W0zGc

[David Didau @DavidDidau]

We love to say we’re building a ‘love of reading’. The evidence suggests we’re doing no such thing. Pleasure doesn’t lead to fluent reading; fluency makes pleasure possible. Reading for pleasure should be an outcome, not a curricular aim. Trying to teach enjoyment is missing the point.

🔥 If someone tells you explicit instruction is “boring,” “mindless lecturing,” or “not engaging,” please share this clip with them.
In just 60 seconds, Anita Archer explains what explicit instruction actually is. It's interactive, intentional, effective, and promotes student success. https://t.co/IbLkLYMOiq
