Lots of great resources this week. T1 is a summary on the science of learning that provides a great overview of key insights into this important topic.

T2 outlines the power of teaching students to effectively use spacing and retrieval practice in their study (esp. disproportionately positive effects on students from marginalised and underrepresented groups).

T3 is one to dip in and out of, highly worthwhile.

T4 is a perfect example of what reflective teacher blogging and sharing is all about. A must read if you teach algebra.

T5 offers an insight I hadn't thought of before as a basis for planning for the future in the classroom, and more generally.

T6 is a thoughtful exploration of teacher labels, including the what and why of the oft used ‘Trad' label.

T7 to T11 can speak for themselves (I will, however, note that T10 is a super good Maths Modelling challenge that those looking for a good project to do with students, inc the benefit of it being externally marked!)

T12 is a fun minute and 39 seconds, that's bound to save you more time than that in the long run!

Enjoy : )
