Difficult concepts, non-adjusted, will overburden working memory. When there’s no sequence or structure - students are overloaded. That’s what teachers need to know. @researchEdhome @researchED_Aus #researchEDNEWY

How much are children responding? This is a big one, and one of the biggest things that shifted my view of Explicit Instruction. I remember when I thought 1 CfU every 2 mins shocked me, but now I’m aiming for at least 10 student responses every minute @DrLSHammond
