3 Top Classroom Resources
Rosenshine’s Principles:
We have recorded a 40-minute webinar resource to explain Rosenshine’s research which is combined with pragmatic advice for schools and teachers, demonstrating what it looks like in the classroom.
Included is a webcast, adaptable Powerpoint, PDFs, sketch notes, and all the relevant articles.
Retrieval Practice:
This resource offers a good body of academic research alongside some practical templates you can try in your classroom. If teachers regularly prepare with retrieval practice in mind, they can develop pupils’ schema to aid long-term retention.
Cognitive Load Theory:
In this 45-minute webinar resource, there are 9 ideas to support teachers in managing information more effectively to help improve retention. It’s also worth considering how this research applies in an online environment as well as in the classroom – it’s all here!
We’re always looking for new ideas to make teachers’ lives and day-to-day work life balance more simple. Comment below with your resource requests.
