This is our school’s ‘Quality Teaching and Learning Framework’ which I created to support coaches to give feedback to colleagues.

How can we secure strong educational experiences and outcomes for all pupils, including those with SEND? In our latest PD for Better Teaching, we summarise five principles of inclusive teaching to strengthen universal classroom provision. Read it here 👇 linkedin.com/pulse/five-pri…

This is a wonderful sketchnote by Jen Deakin, summarising key messages from my presentation at the @Inner_Drive Teaching and Learning Summit. Interested in more? Power Up Your Questioning (with a foreword by Dylan Wiliam) is available here: amzn.eu/d/0dBsodVi

Interesting read…

@Friendly_Maths @FrielRoss @adamboxer1 @mrbartonmaths I just tick and move in. Or give verbal feedback. Surely no one benefits from stopping to write something 🤔

@FrielRoss @adamboxer1 @HeadteacherTips @mrbartonmaths Exactly. Why am I going to waste time writing a comment in a student’s book when I’m physically stood with them and can correct the misconception verbally in a fraction of the time? For me, books are for practice and should be self-marked where possible. I’ll mark assessments.

Six high-leverage teaching and learning techniques that we’ll be working on for the rest of the academic year - using group rehearsal and coaching to refine. @adamboxer1 and @mrbartonmaths any tips from the experts?

@adamboxer1 @mrbartonmaths Designed for primary - so to cover all subjects. Not all answers require full sentences, but applies across the curriculum… ‘I know that 3 x 9 =27 and therefore 3 x 90 equals 270’ Or ‘I think the character is angry because the author has said he clenched his fist!’

@HeadteacherTips @mrbartonmaths Not from me im afraid. Im not really one for coaching or group rehearsal, dont use full sentences, live marking, TPS or positive narration in this way. Sorry!

@adamboxer1 @mrbartonmaths I need @mrbartonmaths to come to my rescue in that case! Thanks for the reply 👌

What an inspirational man! 👏👏 For anyone in education, it’s a MUST read. @AshleyJBaptiste

Direct instruction is joyful & leads pupils to success. Here is a *clip* where I use high frequency & high participation questioning in 3 phases: 1. Check for listening 2. Rehearsal 3. Check for understanding Established routines: all hands up, turn & talk, SLANT & ruler reading

***TEACHING AND LEARNING*** Thread 🧵 To improve the use of teaching and learning techniques in the classroom we need to define them “this is how we do it here” and make it common practice across the school. When implementing T&L techniques their success relies on this clarity and creating opportunities for teachers to deliberately practice. What have we done @LHS_HighSchool? STEP 1 We have identified 10 core T&L techniques. /1

Surely not?! Best of luck to anyone trying to learn to read and write by discovering it on their own 🤦

@mossmontmomery Thank you for the inspiration yesterday! Here’s a story about a basilisk lizard lifeguard! 🦎

@ChrisMoyse Cheers Chris! Thank you for the inspiration 👍

@ChrisMoyse Hi Chris. I’ve turned the framework into a website. We need to add video clips, but definite progress! What do you think?

This is our teaching and learning framework which has been written as an evidence-informed guide. We’re using it to help coaches to give concise and actionable feedback to colleagues. It’s work in progress… Feedback welcome! highqualityteaching.co.uk

@SENDMattersUK Hi Gary. Here’s our teaching and learning framework (with the EEF 5-a-day woven through it). If you have a spare moment, I would love you thoughts!

A Thread on Handwriting… Over the past 2 years, I have paid more attention to the way handwriting is taught than at any other point in my career. Handwriting seemed a fairly simple thing that pupils would just pick up with a few lessons on letter formation. I was wrong! Here are some things I think about now that I didn’t always consider before…

@Mr_N_Wood @adamboxer1 🤣🤣🤣

@adamboxer1 I suggest you forget about it for a week at which point you will 100% understand it.

Just saw this on a big online learning platform. does anyone understand it? can't make head or tails of it

@hannahjcorner Goodlucj! 😊

@ChrisMoyse Perfect way to start the new term. Thanks again Chris!

Really enjoyed my day back in Cornwall today with the good people of StMewan primary. So much enthusiasm for the first day back. Thank you @HeadteacherTips for asking me along. Have a wonderful term.
