We've revised our homework principles this year, and wanted a way of involving parents, without piling lots of extra work on the students. Lots of retrieval ideas from @KateJones_teach and some @thinkinghard12 gems. Editable version here: dropbox.com/s/2inprrwnmhha7z…

A second read of this book for the upcoming holidays I think!
First book of the holiday! I really enjoyed @JonHaidt TED talks so looking forward to reading his argument in full.

'The curriculum has been distorted by demands of data systems eg 6 week unit, tested and dodgy numbers going into tracking systems. Then move on to the next unit but material not revisited. Big implications for long term, flexible, durable memory.' @TLPMsF #rEDSurrey

If Schema is the mot-du-jour, then why keep it invisible? And why make students suffer from the transient information effect (cognitive load distinction)? I'll upload this to my site (oilcan.com) later today.

Loving the use of our Thinking Hard connection map in RS! This is great for memory, retrieval and flexibility of thinking in making new connections.

It also gets student to show depth of understanding! Also really powerful when combining topics/key terms/concepts together from other parts of the course.

Amazing! Hope it went well! The PiXL Thinking Hard team are working on some great stuff! I’ve been reading through the Revisit resources for History which look really useful!
