This sounds like @LetsThinkForum which I’m currently doing with the whole of our Year 8 cohort. It takes a little while to get students used to it but it’s good.

I’m a huge advocate. I’ve just done a lesson comparing Dorothy and William Wordsworth’s writing and the discussion was so rich. They’re able to bridge seamlessly with Romanticism and Frankenstein too so it enriches our main curriculum

These ss have done LTE for 4 years now and *think* so hard seeing the value in discussion and debate. It’s so well structured & CPD experience has given me lots of little ways to ensure whole class participation in an organic (seeming) equitable way.

These tools allowed objective measurement of the cognitive readiness students bring to their learning and the demand of key scientific objectives. Thus enabling superb planning of learning.

Our programmes grew out of the applied Cognitive Readiness and Demand Theory developed by Shayer and Adey in the decades between 1970s and 2000. The working memory research of people like Juan Pascual-Leone, Robbie Case, and Andreas Demetriou @apdemetriou
