It was a day we will remember for years to come.
A truly amazing day at Oldfields Hall Middle School. Well done to the staff, volunteers and those who donated prizes, time or equipment. However, the highlight was our inspirational students who performed so fantastically. Very proud to lead this school. @oldfieldsTL

โ๏ธ CHECKING FOR UNDERSTANDING! Highly recommend the book โExplicit Direct Instruction (EDI)โ by Hollingsworth, and Ybarra. The โTAPPLEโ acronym they introduce is ingenious for memorising their steps for Checking for Understanding. Take a look at this visual breakdown...
