Human delivers an unusually clear picture of Homo sapiens as a species shaped by climate, animals, plants, other hominins and the interactions of its own nomadic groups. Bethan Ackerley is enthralled newscientist.com/article/mg2…

If you received your A-level results today and didn’t get what you expected, this is for you.
ALT Exam results don't show - How kind and caring you are - your honesty - what skills and talents you have - how organised you are - your commitment - your creativity - your love for others - your people skills - your reliability - your humour - how helpful you are - your loyalty - how thoughtful you are - you kindness you are so much more than what your grades show - don't underestimate yourself.

There are lots of ways to provide opportunities for retrieval practice inside & outside of the classroom. There are pros/cons or benefits/limitations to different techniques that's why I have always embraced variety.
As a history teacher MCQs & short answer quizzes are great for knowledge recall but students must also be given opportunities for elaboration & application too.

Just finished @MrZachG's excellent guide to direct instruction, Just Tell Them.
Here's a 🧵of pithy and useful quotes:
Amazing talk on glycobiology / carbohydrate biochemistry from Prof. Anne Dell of @imperialcollege to our Y12s and Y13s yesterday 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 the links to immunology and pharmacology made me miss Biomedical Science more than ever!
In Y8 HW club yesterday
S: Miss I heard you are a good drawer
Me: Aww thanks
S: You should show me your talent
Me: *student name* I'm not doing your art work for you
S: I err... Damn!
Haha 😄 🤣 these kids
Well done research, leaflets and presentations on "Organ systems and health" from my Y7s today.... #HealthPromotion #Care #AnEthicOfExcellence
