I see a bit of conversation about DI (Sig Engelmann; Direct Instruction) and di (Barak Rosenshine) which I prefer to call explicit instruction, the term he himself originally used. Here's a nice graphic on what DI is:
A couple of weeks back I asked you what is on your mind at diff times of the year. The resulting document for @WeAreInBetaPod identifies the pressing issues for SLT, Subject Leads & Teachers each half term. docs.google.com/document/d/1as… So... what isn't there that should be? #WAIB
@Team_English1 @LauraLolder Happy to share both editable full docs and flashcard booklet @Team_English1
Who was the brilliant person from @Team_English1 who said about making triangles to compare the anthology poems? #TeamEnglish
In many ways the most interesting idea that @Mr_Raichura & @ArkSoaneAcademy proposed was that the purpose of answering questions was sometimes simply to cause students to rehearse an idea times in order to build memory. teachlikeachampion.org/blog/my-englan…
A comprehensive set of character profiles & quote banks for the main characters in AIC, broken down into relevant topics/themes. Exam Qs included too. Feel free to use/share/ignore. Link in thread👇🏻 @Team_English1 @NIEngTeachers @EnglishWales @TeamEnglishIre @EnglishScotland
Our bookletised CPD programme this academic year is focusing on: - Means of participation - Faultless communication - High quality questioning - Independent practice - Prior knowledge - Retrieval But what does this look like in the classroom?
