🎁 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!

- Classroom phone bans reduced academic inequality: lower-performing students gained most, whilst high achievers showed minimal change.
- Classroom spot checks showed fewer disruptions, more engaged teachers, and fewer off-task behaviours.
- Interestingly, while students felt a slight increase in FOMO, this did not translate into poorer well-being or reduced motivation.
- Students who experienced phone bans in classrooms became significantly more supportive of such policies.

@dnleslie @Bruce_NextLevel Or indeed on pupils leading learning/less teacher led. What’s the point of having a subject qualified teacher if the kids can ‘discover’ it all themselves 🙄.

@clairelbills @MrsSmithMaths12 @TeacherTapp In my case I have taught secondary classes for a number of years now without a TA as the classes that landed on my TT didn’t warrant one based on needs of pupils elsewhere being higher. The last year I taught with a TA in class was pre Covid

Next week is our Pathways week where we will be working together for a bright future for all our pupils -departments who will help you understand the different courses on offer as pupils begin to consider their next step and over 30 employers and post school partners.

@Teachers4Perm And yet in some areas we can’t get supply for love nor money, let along in a subject you really need for. There are some councils (rural) that are struggling to fill vacancies.

@MrARobbins @cogscisci Managed to catch a few remotely yesterday (they were great) and grateful for the option to catch up with recordings. Would never manage to go in person due to distance.
