When information that is important to a thinking task disappears, it hinders learning because students have to both remember it & think about it at the same time, reducing WM available to analyze & remember.

We think that all memory is stored in the brain. But our study published today in @NatureComms shows that all cells—even kidney cells—can count, detect patterns, store memories, and do so similarly to brain cells. My first (co)corresponding author paper!🧵nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

I flipping love this assessment format.
✅matches the selective retrieval process they need to write paragraphs at all key stages
✅good at revealing patterns of weaker knowledge
✅they use some vocabulary without full paras
✅low floor high ceiling- they can show off

Behaviour in schools is the single biggest barrier to learning. A few years back @ianwhite21 produced an excellent thread on reframing positive behaviour with 20 ways to help manage behaviour in the classroom. I did 4 one pagers to highlight how good these methodologies are. They are available for download from my shared drive.

Been having a play with Diffit. Used it to create homework for Y7 geographers based on an article. It simplified text to an appropriate reading-age and comprehension questions were AI generated. It even formatted the sheet for me! Took all of 5 mins. #edutwitter

Off the back of the amazing key note by @HughesHaili at @researchEDSW I am now obsessed by the phrase 'Tacit Knowledge' and how we are losing it by the truckload because of poor teacher retention. Possible impact on 'Adaptive Expertise' loss as well? @SCottinghatt

I'm still banging on to my CPD leads about the need to include more than just knowledge in their PD programmes.

Schools alone can’t bear the culture of children lost in pointless phone surfing. But for 8 hours a day, 200 days a year they can provide a healthy environment where children can learn and socialise without that impediment.
