Lesson tweaks for deep, transferable learning
Webinar 1: Deep learning tweaks
Follow the links below to learn the theory behind the lesson tweaks, download the slides, or watch the recording:
Hattie's model of surface, deep, transfer learning
Learning strategies: a synthesis and conceptual model
1. Create curiosity
Intellectual curiosity is the third pillar of academic performance
2. Build models
3. Concrete preparation
4. Just-in-time skills
Ofsted Subject report series: science
5. Use analogies
Making science concepts meaningful to students
Webinar 2: Transferable learning tweaks
Follow the links below to learn the theory behind the lesson tweaks, download the slides, or watch the recording:
1. Set problem solving goals
Task-Centered Instructional Strategy
Impact of Explicit Failure and Success-driven Preparatory Activities on Learning
2. Teach problem-solving strategies
The contribution of cognitive and metacognitive strategy use to students' science achievement
Categorization and representation of physics problems by experts and novices
3. Build self-explanation skill
Eliciting Self-Explanations Improves Understanding
4. Differentiate scaffolding
5. Assess with transfer tasks
A True Test: Toward More Authentic and Equitable Assessment
Beyond Rosenshine
Webinar 1: Forget VAK, think multimedia learning
- How to maximise the effectiveness of visual and verbal explanations
- How to choose the most effective PPTs, videos and animations
Webinar 2: 8 ways to meaningful learning
- 8 activity types proven to help students make sense of ideas
- How to use the strategies to create self-regulated learners
Mastery meets Rosenshine Series
Webinar 1: Review & Rethink
- identify existing ideas for checking
- elicit wrong ideas and knowledge gaps
- 'rethink': challenge misconceptions and fill gaps
- extend students while others 'rethink'
Webinar 1: Model & Explain
- ensure deep processing and avoid cognitive overload
- simplify scientific ideas using analogies
- simplify scientific skills using thinking guides
Webinar 3: Check for understanding
- use reading and questions
- decide if it's safe to move on or re-teach
- provide actionable feedback
- use text-based 'corrective' activities
Webinar 4: Build strong schema
- use active reading to build knowledge
- teach text structure to help students interpret
- ramp up practice from recall to application
- create a spaced testing system (from Blueprint)
