Effective teaching isn’t just about what you do—it’s also about how well you do it. I thought I was using worked examples effectively. I wasn’t. Here’s what I’ve learned and what I’ll be changing to actually help novices think like experts.

It's so important for teachers to understand the implications of Cognitive Load Theory & the limitations of working memory for their students. But it's just as important for them to understand the importance of those things for themselves... A🧵

@Doug_Lemov Cognitive Load Theory has had my attention for some time now. Thank you for keeping it front and center. 🦋

“Emotion and learning are completely connected.” Research shows: Students who feel safe and supported by adults at school are better able to learn. 🧡

I am increasingly convinced that putting children into classes who cannot behave safely or for whatever reason cannot reach basic standards of behaviour is a form of collective punishment because it prevents the rest of the class from accessing their right to education.

Study on typed vs. handwritten notes for college students. "We conclude that handwritten notes are more useful for studying and committing to memory than typed notes, ultimately contributing to higher achievement.."https://t.co/FbtUnbyLEC

From ages 4 to 18, children spend significant waking hours at school, shaping their learning, social interactions, and personal development, so it should be a place they look forward to going!

[Zeph Bennett @zeph_bennett]

Behaviour in schools is the single biggest barrier to learning. A few years back @ianwhite21 produced an excellent thread on reframing positive behaviour with 20 ways to help manage behaviour in the classroom. I did 4 one pagers to highlight how good these methodologies are. They are available for download from my shared drive.
