So, over the last few months my crochet hook and small projects have kept me sane and busy. I've enjoyed making bits and pieces for friends and us. If you'd like a make from me, I'll be open to commission slots. DM me 😊 @educrochet #crochetEd

🎁 FREE GIFT: FULL ROSENSHINE CPD PACK!

To celebrate 50 consecutive weeks of ⚗️DistillED, I’ve put together something quite cool…

Over the past year, Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction has been one of the most requested topics from teachers and school leaders. So I’ve put together a complete, ready-to-run CPD pack to help schools explore and implement all 10 principles.

The download includes:

→ 10 CPD PowerPoints (ready for 30–45 min sessions)
→ 10 strategy checklists (practical classroom actions)
→ 10 planning templates (put principles into action )
→ Covers all 10 of Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction

Everything you need to run ten focused CPD sessions — one for each principle.

👉 REPOST and comment ROSENSHINE and I’ll DM you the link. Cheers!

⏰ Available until Sunday 22 March!

Here's the first one...

In my opinion, what do primary schools commonly get wrong with their reading lessons? 🪡
