The webinar will set out the rationale for teachers having a model for how learning happens in order to inform their day to day decision making, supporting all of their learners to succeed in their classrooms. The model draws on the work on Daniel Willingham, Dylan Wiliam, Graham Nuthall, and Barak Rosenshine amongst others, reducing what can become an ever-more complex array of concepts to some core ideas that teachers can think about and act on continually. The webinar will then explore some key techniques that teachers can and arguably should use that deliver on these core concepts, such that all students are engaged in thinking, making meaning and practising - leading to successful learning. 
 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Participants will be able to:

  • Develop their understanding of the learning process as suggested by key aspects of cognitive science.
  • Identify five main problems that students have with learning, informed by this model.
  • Articulate three key prompt questions to ask themselves throughout a lesson to support all students in the learning, not just some.
  • Explore five core techniques, supported by step-by-step routines, that will help them to ensure all students are thinking and making meaning in their lessons.
