@b3ndavi3s.bsky.social @emmagoto.bsky.social Hope you have a great session at the @computingatschool.bsky.social conference tomorrow. So sad I can’t be there! If there is any chance of sharing of slides or resources afterwards I would be extremely grateful! I have a plan for using both barefoot >>>

Been really enjoying this with my children at home… can’t wait to plan to use it in EYFS/KS1 at school! #Wonderblocks is amazing!

#UKEd #EduSky If you asked a colleague what constituted cognitive load in professional learning could they answer in ordinary language? Such as: too much, too new, too fast, too transient, only once and, it must be admitted (though Sweller's not there yet) too boring.

By far the most powerful way to increase primary pupils' chances of becoming capable, confident mathematicians is to ensure they can rapidly recall single-digit addition facts (and their related subtraction facts) and multiplication facts up to 10x10 (and related division facts). 🪡⬇️

8 years ago we stopped writing comments in pupils' books and moved to whole class feedback. Teacher workload and pupil outcomes improved dramatically as a result. We have never looked back. Very pleased to see our case study in @katejonesteach.bsky.social excellent new book.

One of the things that keeps me going back to Twitter is that I get fairly regular DMs on there asking me for advice about reading. Just to be clear: I am more than happy for people to DM on here for the same reason. Please repost this if you think this info might be useful to someone.

Really interesting new study on worked examples which underlines just how easy it is to get things wrong and end up in lethal mutation territory 🧵

This is a really exciting idea. Talking through what we’d do in given scenarios has been the highly of my NPQH so glad we are taking this useful, dialogue form of CPD further. Looking forward to seeing what the first scenario is! #GetReal

Today the children just wanted to chat about everything we saw and did - especially the cows and the “Robot on the bus that tells us where to go.” 💖

Feedback lessons from TV (via @‌teachertapp) theconversation.com/what-strictl... Having been at writing moderation tonight, I have now shared this great blog with colleagues as a way of bolstering our conversations on how to best give feedback. Great timing @teachertapp.bsky.social

What Strictly Come Dancing can teach us about how (and how not) to give feedback

Feedback should clarify what good performance is.

Some useful advice here by @teacherhead.bsky.social on how to get good paired talk. I think I'd add 'pair first then square' - i.e. let them go with paired conversation then double up to share. It's less intimidating to share with another pair THEN with whole class. teacherhead.com/2024/04/10/g...

Getting Pair Talk Right. It’s not that complicated but it’s more than ‘having a chat’. Three golden rules.

I’ve written several blogs about Think Pair Share in the past, because I think it’s such an important teaching routine for teachers to master: However, doing this well isn’t massi…

Recommendations, please, for chapter books to read to 4/6-year-old. I'm not so keen on the over-illustrated style (not least because of all the showing the pictures!) but I also need to move on from stuff I knew as a kid!
