One of the best CPD sessions I have attended as a teacher. Useful, practical techniques to use in the classroom. 😊
It was great to present to over 500 members of The Northern Alliance this afternoon, focusing on pace, challenge and differentiation.
We unpacked 15 Trusted Techniques, which teachers can focus on building into their teaching repertoire or getting even better at.

Questioning helps drive the transfer of information/knowledge between working memory and long-term memory. It also helps drive the actions of the teacher based on the formative information they glean from student responses.

This year, I started a new tradition in school by introducing a Christmas door competition. As an owner of Highland Cows, I couldn't not have one on my door. We coded lots of Microbits to flash lights and another to play, We Wish You a Merry Christmas. #Christmascomputing
