🎉 Happy #NationalTADay! Teaching assistants are essential in supporting the classroom and shaping a pupil's learning journey. For Toni, her role as a TA became the stepping stone to becoming a teacher. #teachingcareers #teachertraining @OTT_Norfolk

Fantastic thread from @Doug_Lemov about the impact of working memory on teachers, with some excellent suggestions for reducing the impact of a busy classroom on WM - long live the clipboard!!
It's so important for teachers to understand the implications of Cognitive Load Theory & the limitations of working memory for their students. But it's just as important for them to understand the importance of those things for themselves... A🧵

Just back from an unforgettable trip to Miami, Florida with @OrmistonAcads! 26 students from across the trust had an amazing week working with US peers, exploring Miami Zoo, Frost Science Museum, and more. Can't wait for Miami 2025! #MiamiTrip #StudentExchange

What a way to start our @OrmistonAcads Science trip to Miami, Florida. We’ve spent the morning working with some fantastic students from @MDCollege before our trip to the @EvergladesNPS to apply our learning from the morning. #ormistonscience #enrichment #BeMDC

Although it won't be confirmed until after the event has reached Earth, there are signs tonight's Severe Geomagnetic Storm will be the strongest since 2005. This will mean it's likely all of the UK (cloud permitting) should be able to see the the Aurora tonight if you look north

One of the most important applications of Cognitive load theory is the “Transient Information Effect.”  When information that is important to a required task disappears it hinders learning because students have to both remember & think about/analyze it teachlikeachampion.org/blog/…
