I think modelling is really powerful. It allows students to see what a good one looks like, and reduces cognitive loud, plus it increases their confidence when they produce high quality work #TeamRE #REChatUK

therepodcast.bsky.social @therepodcast.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

It looks the same as it does for any student. This could be reflected in high than expected representation in options of relevant, improved outcomes. However, it’s always lovely when you get anecdotal feedback from the student or their parents /guardians #TeamRE #REChatUK

Scaffold up don’t dumb down. But use a variety of assessments that test oracy, understanding interpretation as well as extended writing. Link the assessment to the discipline #TeamRE #REChatUK

Give them a copy of the core knowledge from each lesson in advance, so they can ensure the student covers that within the lesson. Talk to them and use their expertise and knowledge of the student to inform your planning #TeamRE #REChatUK

Use think pair share, and whiteboards to consider ages plan answers, don’t cold call, you say what you’ve heard then say in group work, build their confidence over time, create a culture where it’s ok to make mistakes, validate all answers #TeamRE #REChatUK
