@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

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.
