Day 11 of our Advent - MTV - Making thinking visible is important in education because it allows educators to assess students' understanding, provide targeted feedback, and model effective problem-solving strategies. A 'What if?' question gives them ownership to move away from the 'norm' #clpl

Day 10 CLPL Advent - We are brilliant at supporting each other, especially at the end of a long term. @standrewssec.bsky.social I am encouraging as many of you as possible to show kindness to each other today (and always) #Kindness #compassion

Day 9 - I am participating in the Education Scotland
Leading Professional Learning programme and looked over Louise Stoll's article discussing Three Fields of Knowledge for Professional Learning. I plan to dig deeper into this when forming my action plan for next term. #clpl #education

🎄Day 8 CLPL Advent - Think, Pair, Share - a powerful strategy to build student confidence by allowing individual thinking, a safe space to rehearse ideas in a pair, and encouraging class discussion, improving comprehension, and critical thinking skills. #learning #teaching

Mr Matthews day 5 starter on retrieval practice - and some high order thinking skills there too - thanks for sharing your ideas! #clpl #sharingideas

Day 4 ✨ We know that a warm, purposeful greeting sets the tone for the day. Link your greeting to our school values or our weekly theme: Generosity. How do your words and actions show kindness, care, from the very first “hello”?📸 Post your greeting idea, or photo! #clpl ✨

Day 2 of our CLPL advent was a focus on professional reading. I took a peek at @teacherhead.bsky.social Teaching Walkthu's and took a note to read more on questioning strategies.
