With rates of diagnosis on the rise for both ADHD and autism, neurodiverse learners are in every mainstream classroom.
🧑🏫 And educators need to know how best to support them.
So, we've launched a new topic on supporting students with ADHD and autism🧵👇

Brilliant— @Mr_Crome talking about CLT and how this applies to colleagues.
“We owe it to ourselves and our teams to make the workplace predictable, slick and routined, so that when the unpredictable happens, we can deal with it in calm and collective ways.” @Inner_Drive

I’ve written a new reflection on @badger_claire's (from @Inner_Drive) @rEDYshire session, Great Explanations, in which I've considered how the core principles she outlined, apply within geography. robgeogchambers.substack.com… The post explores the curse of expertise, examples and non-examples, defining features and modelling. @researchED1 @Inner_Drive #geography #geographyteacher @OutdoorInst @teach_well #explanations

Very excited to join @Inner_Drive and @BradleyKBusch to give the most concise distillation of the research that underpins belonging, and what teachers can do about it.
Join us!
What do attendance, motivation and achievement have in common?
Research suggests they're all influenced by whether students feel they belong.

Another @researchED1 from ResearchEd East Anglia robgeogchambers.substack.com…
This one is on Claire Badger’s excellent session on maximising feedback. The big takeaway: feedback is powerful, but not automatically positive. Its impact depends on whether it is focused, understood and acted on. @badger_claire @Inner_Drive @BradleyKBusch @ATTInstitute @CatherineRusht2

My latest ResearchEd reflection from ResearchEd East Anglia is now published. robgeogchambers.substack.com… A key takeaway from Caroline Spencer’s brilliant session on Maximising Your Questions: We can too easily mistake silence for understanding, diligence for secure learning, and participation from a few for learning across the room. @BradleyKBusch @Inner_Drive #coldcalling #questionning #intellectualpreparation
