Great first day back today! I presented on the Responsible Behaviour Curriculum - a curriculum to support emotional and social development of children. Here are the slides I used. Teaching my son to drive honed my thinking on effortful learning can be.

I'M IN SHOCK 😲 Thank you to everyone who attended my metacognition and oracy talk today @researchED1, and sorry for those who couldn't find space - I can't fathom that it was so popular as to overflow onto the corridor! I'm delighted to share my slides for the session here: mrmetacognition.com/_files/ugd/ecb… Please share! #ResearchEd25

Come and see us in action!
