Well done for winning the Spirit of the Games award at the year 5&6 basketball competition this week. It is always lovely to hear about how supportive our pupils are & how hard they always try regardless of the results of their matches. Keep being the best version of yourselves.

The first article in a new 4-parter revealing #coaching approaches to support staff with creating a sustainable work life balance!
In this four-part series, #teacher & #coach @helenfwebb offers practical advice for creating #WorkLifeBalance. In part one, she focuses on raising our own self-awareness of poor working habits & practices: buff.ly/3ANkKX7 #wellbeing #teachers #teaching #teachersofx

Multiplication Facts, supporting teachers to provide opportunities for pupils to develop a strong mental map of multiplication facts through repeatedly noticing, articulating & deriving connections between known & unknown facts bit.ly/ATMmultfacts #newfromATM
I like the use of the framework here with the maths example, would be good for discussing errors and method choices not just with pupils but also with other teachers.

Outer and Inner tasks.
The "outer task" is the explicit instructions you give to pupils.
The "inner task" is the mathematical ideas you want pupils to encounter and notice.
Here's a nice example I use all the time.

Finally got around to reading the working paper on Professional Development and Cognitive Load by @Josh_CPD @ollie_lovell and @ArielleBoguslav with @Steplab_co
Excellent! A must read for PD/T&L Leads. We have such a growing body of research around classroom practice, PD, how to improve it, and what does and doesn’t work! We need to purposefully act on it now.

The response to this poem across all platforms has blown me away.
Thank you to everyone for sharing and for your kind words. The fact it has resonated with so many people is incredibly moving.
So much love ❤️❤️❤️
The horrifying reality of being a woman, perfectly summarised by @_CaitlinORyan
If you give even the slightest shit about women, watch it all. This is what it’s like.
First time using resources from the @LboroDME LUMEN curriculum today and this task was excellent! @TFrancome @cjshore @colinfoster77 . Black writing is pupils work, I added the red as we looked at them under the visualiser as a class.

Printable bar models. Super simple to use, great for building fluency.
I'll often set the whole to 180 (like in the screenshot) before starting work on angles.

Interesting study on the relationship between cognitive load and motivation:
- Cognitive load is not a neutral factor, context matters.
- "easy" tasks are not always low-effort if students lack interest in the topic.
- Specifically, low motivation (in the form of disinterest) can increase cognitive load due to the need for motivational self-regulation. mdpi.com/2227-7102/14/10/104…
Build a strong sense of estimation alongside skills and you have a mathematician.

In less time than it takes me to walk the dog, fold a basket of laundry, or make lunches for my kids, I learned more about the reading process, word recognition skills and language comprehension than I did in my many years of teacher training.
Thank you @Suchmo83 for this phenomenal, succinct summary of the reading process and its multiple components. I will be sharing this in my next teacher-training course @VIUniversity so ALL teachers learn this before they graduate! Link: youtube.com/watch?v=JvtUxB5W…
