A great CLPL today in an Edinburgh for Rosenshine’s principles with @brucenextlevel.bsky.social Thanks for the chance to share some great strategies with colleagues from across the country!

@standrewsclpl.bsky.social Great to see so many staff at our annual CLPL book swap at lunchtime today. fantastic opportunities to discuss our #teachingsprints and get ready for the next prepare stage in August #alwayslearning @simonbreakspear.bsky.social

Are you looking to harness feedback and pupil understanding in the classroom to adapt your teaching? The new Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) ‘Check.Adapt’ tool offers a simple scaffold for reflection. Find it here: educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/news/checkin...

🍎 Another great lunchtime Sharing Platter on Meeting Learners Needs yesterday. Thanks to all the presenters who prepared resources to share with staff. Lots of brilliant strategies being used! 👏 #teacherlife #sharingiscaring #Education

Well done representatives from our STAR rights respecting group who shared their work in school with the @glasgowcc.bsky.social Education Committee. You are a credit to yourselves and the school! A great experience for you to build your communication and collaborative skills.

By explicitly talking to students about what trying in the classroom means, you can help them build the independence and resilience they need to tackle problems within their lessons and beyond. 💫 #MathSky #ITeachMath #EduSky

These four classroom shifts can make academic risk-taking feel safer, clearer, and more worthwhile for middle school students.

Lots of staff in @standrewssec.bsky.social are doing differentiation for their @simonbreakspear.bsky.social teaching sprint. Maybe another book for our CLPL library?

There's been a lot of discussion about differentation & adaptive teaching: what they mean, how they overlap, and where they differ? I appreciated how this book helps to clarify that thinking, offering practical advice & prompts for reflection. Another great edu book I would recommend!

Day 11 of our Advent - MTV - Making thinking visible is important in education because it allows educators to assess students' understanding, provide targeted feedback, and model effective problem-solving strategies. A 'What if?' question gives them ownership to move away from the 'norm' #clpl

Day 10 CLPL Advent - We are brilliant at supporting each other, especially at the end of a long term. @standrewssec.bsky.social I am encouraging as many of you as possible to show kindness to each other today (and always) #Kindness #compassion

Day 9 - I am participating in the Education Scotland Leading Professional Learning programme and looked over Louise Stoll's article discussing Three Fields of Knowledge for Professional Learning. I plan to dig deeper into this when forming my action plan for next term. #clpl #education

🎄Day 8 CLPL Advent - Think, Pair, Share - a powerful strategy to build student confidence by allowing individual thinking, a safe space to rehearse ideas in a pair, and encouraging class discussion, improving comprehension, and critical thinking skills. #learning #teaching

Mr Matthews day 5 starter on retrieval practice - and some high order thinking skills there too - thanks for sharing your ideas! #clpl #sharingideas

Day 4 ✨ We know that a warm, purposeful greeting sets the tone for the day. Link your greeting to our school values or our weekly theme: Generosity. How do your words and actions show kindness, care, from the very first “hello”?📸 Post your greeting idea, or photo! #clpl ✨

Day 2 of our CLPL advent was a focus on professional reading. I took a peek at @teacherhead.bsky.social Teaching Walkthu's and took a note to read more on questioning strategies.
