@AlwaysLearnWeb @DrWilkinsonSci I don't have a quick answer or a magic bullet so I'm going to attempt an answer in a thread - a few pointers with links to useful blogs, I could have chosen so many more... Hope it helps! 1/x
@AlwaysLearnWeb I've have been introducing and am still working/thinking about various things which I believe are making/will make a difference... definitely not claiming to have the finished product or to be an expert in any of this, but these are the things I believe to be important... 2/x
@AlwaysLearnWeb 1. Curriculum planning - what? Discuss what you're teaching across the whole department to get buy-in from all. Even if you're following a KS3 scheme and GCSE specs, still talk about the examples, the stories, the 'extra' things you might want to include... 3/x
Absolutely no-one: Hey Ben, we know you're super excited about the Year 7 curriculum that you launched this September, can you tell us about it?
Me: Well, since you asked...

Borrowing heavily from the SLOP work happening in #cogscisci it's all in a booklet. Every lesson features extended reading, and it starts with the word Geography. Why the word Geography? If we've understood @Counsell_C right, this is the hinterland that supports the core.
So how are we managing the reading part? Well, just a couple of days ago @adamboxer1's published some great advice on whole-class reading with booklets here: achemicalorthodoxy.wordpress.com/2019/09/12/who… - pretty much like that, I sense we both spent time with @Doug_Lemov's reading reconsidered.
A short thread about the awesome things I learned today at #rEdBrum.
1. There a literally hundreds of teachers who have given up their Saturday to to hear and help work out what works. This is amazing.

2. The @ErdingtonAcad has some of the politest and most helpful students I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. We should come here again @stoneman_claire.
3. Dual coding can do loads to support our students with the really great challenging stuff in Geography. @olicav’s understandable, articulate, and excellently delivered session showcases just how much it can support encoding for long term retention.
