Cognitive Learning Strategies Display Cognitive learning strategies are different ways that we can teach children in the classroom to retain new information and draw on information that they already know. They are a vital tool in ensuring that children become lifelong learners inside and outside of the classroom. Teaching children these strategies will make sure that they are able to take on board new information and retain it, while selecting the best methods to store that information for a later date. These cognitive learning strategies cards can be printed, cut and displayed in your classroom as they are taught to children and used as an aide-memoire to support them in identifying the most suitable method for drawing on, and retaining, information. The following learning strategies identified are: repeat, repeat, repeat make a list summarise it in your own words connect to something you know write it down make a rhyme or story test it with yourself or a friend say it in order physically do it teach it to someone elaborate in more detail give it space (come back to it later) draw a picture or diagram dual code with text and pictures learning something else alongside it (interleave) can do, can’t do… yet make a mnemonic or acronym group or pair

Appraisal (Performance Management) is a necessary part of school. These simple documents allow senior leaders to support the development of teachers across school.

Our fully revised History Skills Progression Document is a useful planning document for class teachers and subject leaders in supporting their planning and mapping of history through school. This means that class teachers and subject leaders have a very clear progression for ensuring that each historical-enquiry skill and historical concept are increasingly challenging throughout each year group. The document clearly maps out a progression in each of the historical-enquiry skills from the National Curriculum and each of the core concepts in the history curriculum’s Programme of Study. The key skills are then mapped progressively from the Foundation Stage to Upper Key Stage 2, meaning that historical-enquiry skills and historical concepts becoming increasingly challenging throughout the respective keys stages. Each of these progressions can be used as part of a learning objective or success criteria in history lessons. This is also a useful tool to support any conversation with OFSTED to show progression of historical-enquiry skills.
