A range of visuals for CPD/PLD teaching and learning theories, strategies and ideas such as Rosenshine, retrieval practice, feedback, Bloom, modeling and others.
These teaching and learning CPD sessions offer engaging and original approaches to introducing or revisiting a range of effective pedagogical strategies. Grounded in educational research, these sessions are interactive, well-structured, and have been successfully tried and tested.
The aim of each teaching and learning CPD session is to develop the knowledge, skills, and strategies needed in order to utilise in practice in each key area, and as an aid in achieving these aims, the trainer is supported with:
-Colourful, engaging, and comprehensive PowerPoint presentations;
-Videos for analysis of key techniques;
-A wide range of interactive resources for CPD activities;
-Instructions and plans to assist delivery.
All images and videos are licensed for commercial use, and are cited on the final slide of each PowerPoint.
With the Ofsted focus on curriculum and the retention and recall of information - this resource provides some creative ideas on how to embed this into lessons. Templates are attached for ease and distribution to staff and ideas are supported with transferable instructions to share across subject areas.
This is a SOW that was written by me for the COSIM/LESP project. It attempts to help students overcome their misconceptions on the phenomena linked to particle theory. It recomends using the LESP computer programme, but any particle simulation programme will do, so long as students can place the particles where they want to....alternately drawing storyboards also works.
These handy flashcards provide an overview of key learning theory and how they can be used within the classroom. Theories included-
Behaviourism
Constructivism
Social-Learning Theory
Humanism
Montessori Approach
Attachment Theory
Metacognition
Bioecological model of development
Discovery Learning Theory
Anchored Instruction
Zone of Proximal Development
Cognitive Development
Maslow’s Hierachy of Needs
Experiential Learning
Bloom’s Taxonomy
Mindset Theory
These are the perfect companion for trainees, NQT’s and ECT’s to ensure a variety of teaching techniques are deployed within the classroom.
Top Tip #1- These cards last longer when laminated and are put on an easy to grab keyring!
Top Tip #2- These cards could be used as a stimulus for criticality when writing assignments by discussing contrasting theory.

Imagine a learning environment where learners are no longer passive recipients of information, but active architects of their own knowledge. A place where curiosity is sparked, creativity is fostered, and critical thinking is nurtured. This is the vision of constructivist learning theory, an approach to education/training that turns traditional teaching methods on their head. By recognising that learners construct their own understanding of the world through experiences and social interactions, constructivist learning theory empowers educators to create environments that are dynamic, collaborative, and learner centred. In this article I discuss the principles of constructivist learning theory, exploring how it can be applied to transform the way we teach and learn, and ultimately, unlock the full potential of our learners.
I write the schools teaching and learning newsletters every two weeks. These are NOT my own personal ideas I merely source them from various places (research articles, text books, twitter, educational blogs) to provide CPD to the staff at my school and share best practice. They include teaching and learning ideas, activities, current and topical pedagogy etc.
If this is something you are responsible for in your own school or you would like to improve your own knowledge with very short simple snippets of advice then why not download them and save yourself a bit research time.
In this download you will receive the first seven newsletters.
Introduction
Various theories that explain how children learn have been formulated. Teacher and subject centred teaching methods were mostly used in ancient times. Today however, many educational research scholars have come up with more appropriate teaching methods. Researchers in Child Developmental are of the opinion that the aspects of growth and development are interrelated and thus a child’ physical development will affect his/her socio-emotional as well as cognitive development and hence his/her learning. Knowledge of theoretical principles in child development and instructional methods will help us understand the stages through which a child passes and what he/she is capable of learning or doing.
This resource pack is comprised of:
1.) Observation & Learning Walk Performance Grid
2.) Marking and Feedback Performance Grid
For use alongside lesson observations, learning walks, and book monitoring, these succinct performance grids enable observers to gauge, categorise, and feedback on teaching and learning sessions using OFSTED guidance for effective teaching. The documents provide descriptors of 'outstanding', 'good', 'requires improvement' and 'inadequate' practice within appropriately considered teaching and learning focus areas, for example: Questioning, Positive Feedback, Use of Additional Adults, etc. Schools who still grade individual teachers have noted that these are helpful aids in arriving at an overall judgement.
Handout of Bandura’s Social Learning Theory including key facts, Bobo doll experiment and four stages of learning. Could be used as a handout to aid in teaching a lesson on Social Learning Theory, as a revision guide or as a classroom poster.
CPD/ training: Engaging all students part 1 - the quiet ones - session (lasts 45mins -1 hour with time for questions) a detailed 3 step guide with activities throughout. Interesting and hands on training session, suitable for NQTs or as a refresher for any teachers.
