ATTENTION ALL MATHS TEACHERS! I must commend @MrJohnRowe for his generous creation of an exquisite maths teaching resource! His free ebook, 'Hook, Line and Sinker' includes: a one pager of quality resources for the topics of trig (see image), linear algebra, indices (1/5)
quadratics, probability, and sequences & series; A concise page on planning a conceptual approach in the classroom; (2/5)
And links to a whole host of additional fantastic resource collections (this image is just a sample of what he's shared). (3/5)
I also really like this page, a collection of explanations from other educators who have changed the way that @MrJohnRowe thinks about various maths topics. (4/5)
This is definitely going to be one of the first places I go when teaching new topics in future. Thanks for sharing @MrJohnRowe ! Here's the link mrrowe.com/book/ (5/5)

Just finished, and thoroughly enjoyed, reading the @OracyCambridge paper 'The development of Oracy skills in school-aged learners' by @profneilmercer and @LynDawesMercer (ht @RethinkingJames). It outlines the 'why' of Oracy, breaks down skills, and... languageresearch.cambridge.org/images/Languag…
touches on teaching. It begins with an argument that explicit Oracy instruction provides a crucial 'second chance' for students. And relates the development of speech to the development of thought.
Then breaks Oracy skills down into four categories, as presented in the Cambridge Oracy Skills Framework below. A clearer explication of the skills of Oracy I've not yet seen.

Previously, I've shared the short booklet 'MARGE' by Prof Arthur Shiamura. It's a booklet on memory and learning using an acronym for Motivate, Attend, Relate, Generate, Evaluate. I wanted to share some takeaways, as summarised by @teacherhead in teacherhead.com/2018/10/03/int…
Motivate: We need students to focus in order to learn (see 'Attend') and for this we need motivation. We can motivate through Qs 'What do you think? How does it make you feel?' Stories (psychologically privileged). Or framing learning as big Qs (see: ollielovell.com/errr/jaymctigh…)
Attend: Students remember what they attend to (@PepsMccrea )/think about (@DTWillingham ). However, we should expect students' minds to wander, and it's the job of the teacher to bring back focus at key pts. We can do so by asking students to categorise, compare, and contrast.

'10 low impact activities to do less of or or stop alltogether'. To improve, we need to stop teachers doing good things to make time for even better things (quoting @dylanwiliam here). But we can also straight up stop doing bad things too! Via @teacherhead

Caveat, not totally sold on these two points. Purpose of both of them is to stimulate a very valuable process (reflection and detailed planning respectively), in a way that makes the thinking of the reflector/planner visible. That said, reflections much better scaffolded...
And enabled though conversation and shifting of culture, but I think that written reflections by students have a place in classrooms when there isn't time to chat 1 on 1 with all students (e.g., an exit ticket can be a short reflection). Also...

I realize I’m very late in doing a pedagogy thread for you. I will fix that soon (hopefully tonight), because the poem posted above?

That was where I started my class’ lecture - on Shamima Begum.

Attention: Incoming thread of some thoughts on Trump, Impeachment, and GOP strategy.
One of the things I’m growing increasingly concerned about is that Trump is a squid who thinks he’s a shark swimming with actual sharks. He THINKS he’d savvy and slick, but as we have seen, he truly isn’t.

But he’s playing with folks who experts at political strategy.
He’s also done nothing to cultivate loyalty from ANYONE. Everyone knows he’d throw his own children under a bus to save his own skin. So the ONLY reason anyone is his party backs him is for their own gain.

And the minute it’s politically advantageous, they will turn on him.

If you're tired of political talk from me, just mute me for the next 8 hours. I'm currently reviewing the backlog of Oversight Committee hearings and will be live tweeting my thoughts. So, let's get into this.
Chaffetz acknowledges his respect and admiration for the FBI and addresses the concern of a double standard with the Clinton investigation and starts to build a timeline. The day of her Senate confirmation hearing, Hillary registered a domain name for her email.

Trump uses social media as a weapon to control the news cycle. It works like a charm. His tweets are tactical rather than substantive. They mostly fall into one of these four categories.
The tweets either get his framing established first, knowing that whoever frames first tends to win. Or when things look bad for him, he diverts attention or attacks the messenger. And when he wants to test public opinion, he puts out an outrageous trial balloon.
Each tweet gets his message retweeted so he dominates social media. Reporters, social media influencers, and many others fall for it hook, line, and sinker. Every time. They retweet, share, and repeat his messages ad infinitum. This helps Trump tremendously.
