Thinking Hard

What is Thinking Hard? How is it impacting schools? Read this article we published for @pixlclub to get the lowdown. Nothing new in T&L, TH brings together key things that make a difference.

@rickyschool Fantastic to see! Let me know how it goes!

This evening’s staff CPD Twilight session focused on embedding Thinking Hard strategies to support our students as they prepare for exams 📚🧠 💡#thinkinghard @thinkinghard12

We've revised our homework principles this year, and wanted a way of involving parents, without piling lots of extra work on the students. Lots of retrieval ideas from @KateJones_teach and some @thinkinghard12 gems. Editable version here: dropbox.com/s/2inprrwnmhha…

Wonderful to join @CoombeGirlsNews inset on #ThinkingHard and #SEND - focusing on the inclusion of all! #inclusion #worldofopportunity for all.

@JennyBrasso Hi Jenny, DM me and let’s organise a call and I can take you through our successes and failures!

@thinkinghard12 Hi, I know that this is an old tweet but I really want to look at using % scores for reporting to parents at our school. We had a false start this year and need to get SIMS set up correctly, I was wondering whether you would be able to help?

Finished the first year of our new full school assessment model -cumulative summative assessments for all year groups Y7-12. No levels in KS3. Reporting home in %. No tracking by terminal grades. Strong positive feedback from teachers, students and parents.

@mrs_scastro Send me a DM and I’ll help you out. Simon

@thinkinghard12 Any chance of getting a sample or video of how to use it?

A Thinking Hard flexibility of thinking connection map! Great to see it in modern foreign languages!

A second read of this book for the upcoming holidays I think!

@MrMLewis_ @MrStoneEnglish @TeachLikeAChamp @HuntingEnglish @olicav Great to hear. How has it worked in your context?

**NEW** A slight deviation from my @TeachLikeAChamp theme, but loving the work of @thinkinghard12 and @HuntingEnglish. Here is the latest in my @olicav inspired series #flowspray #dualcoding

@MrStoneEnglish @TeachLikeAChamp @HuntingEnglish @olicav It is an excellent graphic!

Thanks for his Matt!

Great to see Thinking Hard getting a mention in @MrsSpalding Y10 tutor program!

@cush_mr @PiXL_6 @ChurchdownSixth @pixlclub Really enjoyed meeting you! Really impressive Sixth form journey!

@MotherhoodvsCF @ChrisP1207 I’ll get word out to my contacts about the importance of your campaign and the very human face you and your family put on it. Keep battling!

@MotherhoodvsCF Hi Carlie, Caught up with @ChrisP1207 today at PiXL6 and he told me of your campaign with the Express. I’ve just spend my journey home reading the recent articles! Inspiring! Your son is beautiful! I’m so glad real progress is being made. Simon Hardwick
