But what does it look like in the classroom?
A thread 🧵 🪡

Cognitive load theory provides teachers with a means of attempting to view the world through the eyes of a student (Hattie & Yates, 2014). Here, some principles of learning derived from this theory are presented. Shouldn't they be integral to teacher education curricula?

🚨 Young people from low-income homes are more likely to become a high earner if they attend university.

Ofsted has today published its new report on mathematics education.

Consider this as a prelude to your Cold Call: Ask students (or adult participants) to discuss/reflect on a question and then make a gesture affirming that they have thought about it and have an answer. That could be done in a variety of ways… (1/x)

Routines can be powerful tools for learning. However, they often fail at launch because we try to achieve too much too quickly.

→ Increase the chances of routines getting into orbit by focussing on consistency first, then ramping up the level of challenge.

It is day 21 of @TeachFirst #TFSI2021. This may be the last week of SI but it's impossible to know everything. Teaching is complex and you will learn and develop throughout your career. Celebrate what you've done, decide what you want to embed this week. Focus on that. Good luck
