Grateful for a quiet Sunday morning working on our coaching resources for staff #exeter

Explicit Teaching

Definition: Concepts are fully explained and procedures fully demonstrated before novices are asked to apply those concepts or procedures

Features that increase effectiveness
- highly interactive
- new material presented in small steps with practice after each step
- big investment in ‘we do’
- whole class response systems eg mini whiteboards, cold calling, think-pair-share
- lots of spaced practice
- pitched so students obtain 80%+ success rate
- as students move from novice to expert, balance shifts to them solving/completing more steps themselves

The ultimate destination is for students to solve complex problems or produce complex products on their own

Summer reading: Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As @ExmouthCollege gears up to take part in the Autism in Schools Project I wanted to do some research of my own. @N gives a rare and honest insight 🙏🏼
Read in 1.5 days couldn’t stop!

Last weekend we asked the 9,000 teachers on @TeacherTapp about the kindest thing a pupil or colleague had done in the past half-term.

3,285 of you responded and by response 647 I was in tears. You people are lovely ❤️

Here's a thread of, well, loads of them... 🧵 (Grab tissues)

[Philippa Rowe @rowe_philippa]

@sarahlarsen74 @sheilamouna @TheStudentLeads Totally agree. And through drop ins students are not able to articulate how staff feedback. This is our message; students need to learn the common language. I’m all for verbal feedback as long as it feeds forward. And students act on it.

[Philippa Rowe @rowe_philippa]

@sarahlarsen74 @sheilamouna @TheStudentLeads We have done this. Launched in September. 8 choices for delta/staff to chose from to feedback. The feedback from middle leaders is they don’t like it. Would rather have clearer guidelines with amount of marking expected. Helps them to hold staff to account for no visible feedback

@teacherhead @m_chiles @ExmouthCollege @olicav @johntomsett Yes please! [email protected]

[Philippa Rowe @rowe_philippa]

@m_chiles @ExmouthCollege @teacherhead @olicav We are very excited to be welcoming @teacherhead and @johntomsett into College this year. If you know of any training companies that would be great! Thank you for replying!

[Philippa Rowe @rowe_philippa]

@TAPthankUK @Headteacherchat We use @TAPthankUK it��s a great tool!

[Philippa Rowe @rowe_philippa]

@SaysMiss Send later is also hugely encouraged.

[Philippa Rowe @rowe_philippa]

@SaysMiss We have a no All Staff email policy (except emergency). It means that anything all staff has to be planned and entered into our staff bulletin on a Friday. This stops staff being peppered with information and actions throughout the week. Which they can easily loose track of.
