Dylan Wiliam said that Cognitive Load Theory is ‘the single most important thing for teachers to know’. This poster summarises some key ideas from CLT and offers 6 strategies to optimise instruction and maximise learning

Here are some ideas that I am sure you already use to find out what progress is made, where individual student are in their learning journey and also to encourage the hidden quieter students to take part in the lesson in their own way.

Week 4: How learning happens
I found this really interesting to read as it simplifies a lot of research into bitesized chunks. Following on from last weeks habit forming ideas, this is a nice way to see how forming habits fits into learning. This maps out Swellers Cognitive load theory in an easy way to understand and I can relate this to my classroom.

Week 3: Building effective habits.
One for all this week. Revision is a habit we would like to build in, but maybe you have an urge to go running more often. Hopefully this helps.

Week 2: technical challenges
Our girls are so quick to "get" tech. This week I have sent a little menu to try to do somehting teccy. I often use timers and there is a nice link here to do some with music, just select from the dropdown.
How does this link to T and L, engagement? Having a visual or audio timer when working on a specific task helps students develop time management skills and focuses their Attention on completing the assignment. This increased Attention is associated with a greater feeling of classroom belonging and student engagement.
I am sure we can also have some fun creating our own emoji! I wonder if it is Kami compatible.

Week 1: Monday 9th September
I know we are all pushed for time and lesson time is short, but making a relationship with your class is the best use of time in the first few lessons. I found this useful for classes who I had never taught before. Nothing to do with my subject, but helped the students get to know me too. Relationships in the classroom have a 0.72 Hattie score, so may not be the biggest gamechaner, but go well along the way to improving accomplishment.
