It was great to be back @MarsdenRoad yesterday with @tombennett71 โ€˜running the roomโ€™. Schools need to be safe, calm and predictable environments where everyone is treated with dignity. I also managed to catch up with some students & staff who I miss dearly, which was lovely!

A ๐Ÿงต on explicit instruction, in light of the NSW announcement. 1: I would have not only told you I was teaching explicitly in my first years of teaching, but been highly offended if you had suggested I wasnโ€™t. Spoiler alert: I was giving one explicit instruction 1/

Check out this accessible guide to avoid the myths, mutations and mistakes when implementing #retrievalpractice! We need to aim for precision and strategic use of effective practices, and this short overview gives a strong push in that direction. buff.ly/4bkS6cF

Fact fluency and procedural fluency is the โ€œโ€ฆfoundation of mathematics development, and Australia is yet to master this.โ€ Toni Hatten-Roberts at #SBPIllawarra2024 So many parallels to reading instruction. Teach the nuts and bolts to mastery first, then practice to automaticity.

Teaching an instructional cue to students targets attention. With no attention, it is impossible to attain learning. The short term goal of the instructional cue is automaticity. The long term benefit is habit formation. Tim McDonald at #SBPIllawarra2024

It takes 70 exposures to unlearn an embedded error. This is why we shouldn't use launch, explore, summarise or you do, we do, you do. Good explicit teaching is I do, we do, you do. Teach First. #schollexcellence #edi #explicitteaching
