Very informative; excellent!

I have enjoyed having access to this new learning and to learning about the theory behind the practice i.e. dual coding theory.

Examples of the 5-a-day in practice were useful. I would rate my booking as good, useful and interesting.

KL Allen, Assistant Headteacher
Lydiate Primary and Nursery School, Liverpool

Modelled examples of each of the 5 a day principles and clear visuals to go alongside the discussion were the most useful parts of the day. The pace was good and it was clear to see how everyone in the class will benefit. A really impormative session with lots to consider putting into practice. I would rate the overall quality of my booking as fantastic - really informative and clear to implement. Thank you!

Looking at the range of ideas of how to support not just SEN children, but all children in the class and consolidating the training we have had in school already based on your expertise were the most useful parts of the day. I would rate the overall quality of my booking as good and very relevant to our school's needs. 

Going through Rosenshine’s model in detail with examples was extremely useful. The SEND team and I (SENCo) will be using this training to think about what we already do well and what we can add to our provision e.g. exit tickets. Clear presentation and booking process with great information and advice from Chris, thank you!

The Power of Oracy: Unlocking Student Potential Across the Curriculum
1st Oct 2024
Oracy—the ability to express oneself fluently and confidently through spoken language—remains one of the most overlooked yet essential disciplines in education today. While literacy and numeracy often dominate educational priorities, oracy is increasingly recognised as the key to unlocking deeper learning, critical thinking, social mobility, and employability across all subject areas. Despite its importance, oracy continues to receive limited attention in many curricula worldwide.In this blog, we will explore the benefits of oracy, the research supporting its integration into classroom practice, and how teachers can make it an integral part of the curriculum.

A Metacognitive Strategy of Predicting: Teaching Tentative Language to Overcome the Fear of Being Wrong
16th May 2024
Making predictions is a critical skill in learning that spans all subjects and year groups. However, one of the most significant barriers to developing this skill in students is their fear of being wrong. This fear can stifle creativity, hinder learning, and prevent students from engaging fully with the material. As teachers, it is essential to create a classroom environment that values the process of thinking and exploration over the correctness of answers. A powerful tool in achieving this is teaching and using tentative language. This blog will explore how to foster such an environment and provide practical strategies for incorporating tentative language into prediction activities.
