Speaking:
From: Routine paired discussion/talk partners, inclusive questioning, cold call, structured opps for asking questions, sharing ideas

To: Hands up /calling out dominate; possible to be left out/silent all lesson/day. Opps for individual/choral oral rehearsal are rare.
Expecations.
From: insistence on high exps for writing/presentation, extended verbal answers using formal terminology; rigour/quality in all tasks; depth and fluency of recall

To: Tolerance of mediocrity, monosyllabic responses, shabby books, letting details go.
Homework
From: high volume/status; integrated in flow of learning; varied diet of routine practice tasks and some set-piece challenging open-ended tasks; opps for choice and extension

To: Patchy, low trust, books kept at school, mostly online, low status, dull, disjointed.
Independent learning:
From: students have own textbooks/quality workbooks, monitored online tools; revision/practice/research methods taught explicitly; opps for choices

To: no take-home resources; online tools ‘available’ but unchecked, no choices, revision methods not modelled
