This ensured all students were ready to answer questions. I was also able to see how this strategy could be used to build the confidence of learners (lower level questions) as well as extending high ability students (difficult questions).

Token economy for students bringing the correct equipment to Y7 English class (pencil case, diary, charged laptop + book to read). 5 ticks in a row = reward, 2 crosses in a row = lunchtime. This is a consistent routine in this class.

Row competitions - split the class up into groups according to their table rows. Discuss what type of behaviour will earn groups 'points' on the board. Group with most points wins at end of class. This supports respectful classrooms.

Explicit instruction - 'I do, we do, you do', for gradual release of responsibility. ]]> 2023-08-21 05:37:49 UTC https://padlet.com/09314803/74vkb6kwf12daqt5/wish/2667158726 https://padlet.com/09314803/74vkb6kwf12daqt5/wish/2667158854 Showing worked examples for students is critical as it shows what high quality work looks like.

Students give their answers on little slips of paper and the teacher quickly sorts the answers into "yes" and "no" piles (correct and incorrect). The teacher then selects their favourite wrong answer and writes it up on the board. The class then points out the good parts of the answer. What did they get right about their answer? The class then identifes and corrects the error.

Great for targeting common misconceptions. Celebrates the mistakes that we can learn from.
