Use dual coding to establish relationships of knowledge or make a process explicit for the learner
Know the different types of knowledge organiser or concept map to show hierarchies, processes, timelines or spatial concepts
Introduce an exemplar that captures core knowledge or information
Illustrate the information held in the visual representation, sharing the step by step composition of the visual.
Model the metacognitive recall, asking questions such as: Where do I begin? How will this help me? What does this element represent? Can I follow the arrows? Is it complete?
Use the concept map as a support for retention and recall, revisiting regularly
Scaffold the Steps to Success to ensure all learners can access by establishing a set of measurable outcomes
Introduce the steps to success so that children have clarity on what they will need to do
Refer back to steps to success when modelling and how to use them to structure the learning
Use worked examples and backward fading
Use worked examples and backward fading
Introduce a fully worked example as the finished product, demonstrating the full skill that you are aiming the children to achieve
Show another worked example, demonstrating live and reinforcing the key messages and steps from the initial example
Introduce a partial model, demonstrating the first steps and then asking the children to finish, giving time to check for errors or refer to the previous example
Cue practice by giving the start of a question
Set questions for the children to practise independently, having followed the backward faded models
Pitch at an appropriate level
Pitch at an appropriate level
Consider the age, language proficiency, and developmental level of the children you are addressing
Tailor communication to ensure it is suitable for a specific age range
Give explanations clearly
Establish key terms for the lesson and learning based on prior knowledge
Start from what the children already know
Spend time checking the children have concrete examples for conceptual understanding
Tell a story / give instructions step by step, using visuals and models to reinforce each stage
Explore concrete examples and build connections
Ask children to explain your explanation back to you using a range of Checking For Understanding methods (mini whiteboards, Think - Pair -Share, Rally/Round Robin)
