One problem with the whole Growth Mindset thing is seeing it as a/the programme & not part of the everyday culture embedded in everyday teaching. Exactly as @teacherhead clarifies in this @WALKTHRUs_5: Normalise Error & Uncertainty. You don't need pictures of brains to do that.

Using graphic organisers in PE are an effective way of translating information across a hybrid concept map like this. Used on powerpoint this can animated to reveal each stage of the 800m race in terms of energy production #EduPE

I think most folks agree with @natwexler's observation that familiarity with the conventions of written language, which is far more complex than most spoken language, is also crucial. forbes.com/sites/nataliewexl…

Yes, There Is Evidence That Building Knowledge Boosts Reading Comprehension

Thank you for the mention, spreading the word. I'm glad you found Connect the Dots useful. I see you like the 'tidying a messy wardrobe' analogy for #spacedpractice. I got the initial idea from a Y3 student @Dunraven_School ! @JohnCattEd

Finally had time to finish ‘Connect the Dots’ by @TriciaTailored. My top takeaways are some brilliant analogies for learning, great ideas for supporting students to set mastery goals and strategies for dual coding new vocabulary.
