This was an excellent way to start a chemistry lesson by the way. Hundreds of questions just like this stored within Carousel, let me know if you'd like to look around. Summer term is best time to start thinking about it!!

Summary of my presentation at the Directors of Improvement conference today.

No matter how hard it gets, we always spend the day smiling. Love you mum.

Jo Castelino (drjcastelino on threads) Nice post, Jo. It's another good example of where, without care, the scaffold becomes the schema (I think credit to Sarah Cottinghatt for that one!)

Great post from Jo!

My takeaway: ‘Tricks’ (e.g. mnemonics) *can* help pupils to remember stuff. The problem? They tend to lack meaning! So if we want kids to remember things imbued with meaning, then we might want to think carefully about whether such tricks are appropriate ☝🏽

I love working with this absolute genius 🥰

NEW POST: A word of warning on teaching tricks.

With the example of teaching variables in Science.

Wrote this yesterday on checking prior knowledge

These acronyms are getting out of hand.

My son was exceptional at his football game today.

He is nearly 8 but helped his team win against the under-9s. It was such a joy to see his hard work and determination paying off!
He puts in so much effort, training and thinking about the right decisions on the pitch. Amazing!

I couldn't make #researchEDSW so I wrote a blog on what I would have talked about.

Why don't teacher check prior knowledge more often?

This is a brilliant post on the importance of checking prior knowledge!

Love the advice at the end and the example of Mr T's questioning.

Could not agree more. Imagine taking an image in isolation, out of context, with no understanding whatsoever of how it works in practice, and attacking a school serving an area of high depravation in the north.

Have a word with yourselves 🙄 You are damaging the sector.

Super-proud of this: PE teachers are sorely lacking in materials to support the theory element of the GCSE course. Well... not anymore, because here's Carousel PE!
