ICYMI - Here's a link to my webinar for teachers focusing on Questioning in the classroom. Feel free to share with your colleagues & repost. I hope it's useful! youtu.be/GRS09MgUbTs?si…

Question design & delivery is so important to get right in the classroom! Are all students thinking? Are all students involved & responding? Do all students understand the question? What next? There are lots of factors for teachers to consider, I had all of these points in mind when writing my latest book Questioning for Teaching & Learning. Feedback so far has been very positive!

S3 are brainstorming their ideas for repurposing wind turbines at the end of their lifetime at NMIS this morning. Huge amount of creative thinking skills happening this morning @StAndrewsRCSec @NMIS_group @StAndrewsRCTech

Our prototypes have been created and presentation prep is now underway @StAndrewsRCSec @StAndrewsRCTech

Well done @jonnydobbin3 for completing the 12 days of advent clpl and winning the book voucher prize! Thanks to all staff for completing it with us @StAndrewsCLPL Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas #clpl #Education

Great work again from Mrs Fox and her solar punk teams. Their ideas are really coming to life 🏝️ @StAndrewsRCSec @YoungSTEMLeader

Day 10 CLPL Advent - We are brilliant at supporting each other, especially at the end of a long term. I am encouraging as many of you as possible to show kindness to each other today (and always) #Kindness #compassion

Day 9 -I am participating in the @EducationScot Leading Professional Learning programme and looked over @LouiseStoll article discussing Three Fields of Knowledge for Professional Learning. I plan to dig deeper into this when forming my action plan for next term. #clpl #education

“Feedback is not a single moment in the lesson; it’s the engine that drives adaptive teaching.” ‘Feedback: The engine room of adaptive teaching’ Via @EducEndowFoundn Corinne Settle educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/news/engine-ro…

@StAndrewsCLPL Used this with S3 to help them with generating ideas for imaginative writing. Gave space to consider their own, discuss with someone else before deciding if they felt confident to share - it was great to see how many did!

🎄Day 8 CLPL Advent - Think, Pair, Share - a powerful strategy to build student confidence by allowing individual thinking, a safe space to rehearse ideas in a pair, and encouraging class discussion, improving comprehension, and critical thinking skills. #learning #teaching

@StAndrewsCLPL Day 2 of my CLPL Advent Calendar and I've had a read at this article on building positive pupil teacher relationships. Some great de-escalation techniques 😊👍
