This resource aims to develop teacher understanding on how to support best learning and revision. It is not specific to exams, but covers ‘learning effectively’ which applies to both exam preparation as well as learning in general in lessons time.
The resource covers:
- how the brain works and how the brain learns, including the science behind learning a new skill
- how to build new knowledge pathways in the brain
- interleaved learning
- spaced learning
- concept mapping/retrieval practice
- failure as a learning tool
- collaborative retrieval as a learning tool
This session also includes:
- 3 videos (not owned by me - included to develop knowledge)
- a ‘starter’ and a ‘plenary’ for use in the CPD
- a midpoint learning check
- an activity for department to spend time thinking about their practice
You can also find a PDF of ‘revision strategies’ attached as a follow up for staff.
This is a great activity for teachers of all experience but would be especially good for RQTs or NQTs who may just be starting to think about how students learn. This could also be good for form tutors of Y11 and Y10 to think about in preparation for exams.
