Today we break up for half term and temporarily close our doors whilst continuing to work on our plans for the next challenge that comes in September. Despite what some people believe schools have never been closed. This year has been incredibly challenging for everyone but wow
What an incredible collective effort from every teacher up and down this country. Genuinely blown away and inspired by some of the amazing work I’ve seen and the sheer will to give every young person the best possible education in the midst of uncertainty. I would like to
Thank every single member of the #edutwitter community - you all are a true heroes and however you spend your summer take some time to rest. New challenges await but we will continue to rise to them and do what we do best #NotAllHeroesWearCapes

I see group work is doing the rounds again. Group work is hard to get right. As many people have already said, it can result in students being off task or allowing a peer to do the heavy lifting.
But before you dismiss it, if you subscribe to the notion of CLT, you should read about the collective working memory effect. Here is a paper by @P_A_Kirschner and colleagues research.ou.nl/ws/files/10225…
Also, check out @ollie_lovell podcast with the incredible Sammy Kempner (a colleague of @adamboxer1) explaining how he uses group work in maths. ollielovell.com/errr/sammykemp…

Here are my three latest one-pagers I created in collaboration with @MaryMyatt, @ChrisMoyse and @PepsMccrea.

I am currently working with a few amazing people to create some one-page summaries. Image

Here is a thread containing all ten of our 'Five Ways' one-pagers. I've included the links to @teacherhead's original blog. You'll also find a PDF of each one-pager; PDF files are better for printing. Image

Number Two: Five Ways to: Check for Understanding

Organise Ideas is due to publish in 56 days and is now available to preorder on Amazon amazon.co.uk/Organise-Ideas…
A highlight of the book will undoubtedly be the 50 plus teacher contributions.

In the run-up to its publication, @olicav and I would like to introduce you to our generous and inventive contributors — one per day.
Meet Ayellet @MaysharShizuka, a primary school teacher. In the book, Ayellet explains how she pairs mind-mapping with strategies from Hochman's The Writing Revolution — an excellent example of how word diagrams serve the learning process. Image

A thread:

1 GOs don't require the use of images. From my reading, DCT is about the use of images paired with words, to aid retrieval. And as @olivcav has pointed out, Pavio worked with simple ideas and concepts.
2 Most of the research into GOs appears to be unhelpful. Hattie lumped all visual strategies together and reported his finding under the heading, concept maps.
3 Fiorella and Mayer, in LaGA, report that mapping, while having a medium-to-high effect size, also take a long time to complete and are difficult to construct.

1. Graphics organisers, mapping, semantic organisers (whatever you want to call them) are NOT examples of dual coding. Images aren't necessary for their use or creation. They also aren't a stand-alone strategy. They are a servant and best paired with other strategies.
2. We use retrieval practice to strengthen the connection between our WM and LTM, cold call helps us to check for understanding, and pair share is useful to help students rehearse their answers before sharing them. GO can be paired with these strategies to enhance them.
3. I suspect giving students a completed GO, containing unfamiliar information, would be similar to expecting a novice to learn through discovery-learning strategies. Most teachers I speak to about GOs, consider CLT, the learning propensities of their students and their students
