***SCAFFOLDING*** Thread 🧡 Teaching is a complex activity with lots of factors interrupting learning. Scaffolding is a strategy that allows teachers to be responsive during lessons to support students to move towards the same end goal. The route each students takes can look different. 1/ – at North West, England

One of my go-to strategies in the classroom. Ensures students are thinking hard, participating and having to listen. 'Turn and Talk' - very similar to 'Think, Pair, Share' youtu.be/Nxhd6YTI1IU

Pretty awesome @VyneGeographers
Year 8 geographers were mapping coastal erosion today along the coastline at Happisburgh. We then measured the speed of erosion and used an OS map to consider impacts 🌍 #geographyteacher
Every year without fail I have to correct the undergrads who write that Africa is a country. Yet kids learn the 7 continents at key stage 2 πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Clearly this form of knowledge isn’t enough. This is a great visual that I always share with them:
