*New blog*

* How do you teach extended writing to students?
* What does scaffolding mean when 'teaching to the top'?
Not the easiest of things to explain in a blog so I'm not sure it's clear....

Executive Functions - it's important to explicitly learn about and teach executive functioning skills. Then use strategies to help students and staff who may have impaired executive functioning. Here's a brief intro adapted from @nasen_org teacher handbook & @ncldorg
We hope that the start of term is going well for those of you in the UK. We will be sharing more resources this year...there's so much to share so we have a schedule 📌with a new topic for each month 🗓️👆. Any qs or areas you want to focus on, we'd love to hear from you👋📨!

It is often hard for students to access exam questions that require long form responses. Why not try a writing frame to support students to break down the question into sections, as in this Geography example! @TeachitGeog

Struggling to get students to form answers for English Literature? Start with a writing frame to prompt ideas! @OUPSecondaryEng @teachitenglish

Try using writing frames with SEND students to devlop skills such as using PEE (Point, Evidence, Explanation) in their writing!
Do you use writing frames in Science to support SEND students to learn and use key vocabulary? @TeachitScience

Why not try using writing frames to support SEND students with planning their learning. For example, you may use a writing frame when students are planning for a science experiment!
Support SEND students in maths by using language and writing frames @OxfordEdMaths @TeachitMaths
SEND students struggling to remember the meaning of command words? Writing frames can help students recall when different command words are used. See this example from: @OxfordEdMaths @TeachitMaths
