‘Teaching students how to study is just as important as teaching them the content’ (Dunlosky, 2013)

Here is what our ‘Developing independent learners’ tutor time curriculum looks like 💭 🧠

It's not either/or, but when - there is a sweet spot.

@adamboxer1 Happy to help Adam!

@bernywern There are some extraordinary examples of people who would disagree with you about the worthlessness of exercise books.
The tired expert-novice response won't do.

Are they SEND or are they August-born?

Cannot keep up with all the notes I want to write from @jpembroke’s session!

@mrmarchayes @MaryMyatt @sdhansey lovely cross-curricular link approach

[Marc Hayes @mrmarchayes]

Since first hearing @MaryMyatt share her ideas about texts as the beating heart of the curriculum, I've become increasingly more convinced about the power of stories in curriculum design.

Here's my thinking on using stories to support learning in history https://t.co/hXW64KgniC

🧵 New teachers! Prepare for teaching this term by knowing:

▪️Retrieval isn’t repetitive if you are a novice- as long as it’s useful, of course
▪️explanations are at their most beautiful without waffle - and that’s hard when you’re a subject expert

@amy_smith117 Hi Amy! Would love a copy. [email protected]

[John Jones @mrjones_EDU]

This is unreal 🤯

I just used #ArtificialIntelligence #AI to translate my voice & sync my lips to give the impression I speak Spanish 🇪🇸/German 🇩🇪 fluently (I don't btw).

I used @HeyGen_Official Video Translate BETA & my mind is blown. ⬇️

[Pritesh Raichura @Mr_Raichura]

For a long time I didn’t have a coherent questioning strategy.

This @RoySocChem article summaries my thinking about how to use questioning most effectively in the classroom.

This has been a game changer for my teaching! 🧵1/

This is an *epic* collection from @joe__kirby.

🎓 21 seminal articles by teachers on curriculum. Each with a link and one-sentence summary.

[Amy Knott @MrsClarkEnglish]

I have created a document to support our subject leaders with #disciplinaryliteracy across a range of subjects as a starting point for editing and developing into their own curriculums. Created with the help of AI to really drill down into key aspects of #literacy #edutwitter

@mrlouieevans @MrTSci409 @olicav Benefits of visualiser over board:
1. Face the class - keep an eye on pupils
2. Can permanently store all of your 'board work' (use an exercise book) - great for revision
3. Pre-prepare & reveal diagrams like with PowerPoint*
4. Can show worksheets, exams annotation & pupil work
