Takeaway 1 this week is a 20 minute video on how to study. This is a must-watch for any students wanting to get the most out of their revision/learning time.

In Takeaway 2, hear an expert on assessment (Dylan Wiliam) give a wrap up of the Assessment for Learning (blog) symposium. This is the kind of article I find that I need to read more than once.

Takeaways 3, 4, and 5 are all really solid articles from some of the usual characters appearing in these takeaways. If you're suffering under oppressive marking policies, see Takeaway 3; If you've been pondering the ‘those who can't do, teach', trope, check out Takeaway 4; and if scaffolding elaboration is something that you're interested in, Takeaway 5 offers an actionable classroom ready strategy that I'll definitely be using in my next lesson.

6 is more for those in ed research, 7 is a quick post by Daniel Willingham commemorating the 90th birthday of E. D. Hirsch.

At least read the ‘My biggest eye-opener' snippet from takeaway 8.

9 is quite specialised, you'll know if it's for you.

10 is a printout that it'd be handy for a maths teacher to have in their back pocket.

Enjoy : )
