Whilst reading a random article about advice to teachers' pedagogy, was prompted to think further of one aspect. Other that the "tick-box exercise" that is satisfaction to ofsted (school review), is there a benefit for pupils to demonstrate that "they know that they know", immediately during lesson? For "low-level" factual recall perhaps, but there would seem to be a danger of complacency. Didactic explanation, quick 'afl then a few questions after a model answer is discussed. Management may be satisfied, but the pace leaves a sour taste to the subject matter expert.
Summer holidays began with public street full of noisy children, teachers disappeared, parents in discussion about how to survive...
In truth, a bit unsure what to do this summer. Rest, of course. In the absence of local friends, supportive family,...Not going to complain; it was some amusement to read an internet search query result for: "how teachers enjoy summer holiday"(!) :)
Consequent to yesterday's review of ideas to begin the holiday, began with thoughts about the year behind:
Thus, whilst the all important rest will occur, some time to be devoted for thoughts about methods of personal development. Fundamental problem: unable to seek help.
It was a surprise to read (via social media of course) about announcement by bbc of existence within fediverse. Sensible decision not to open their server to the public to create accounts, but more of a "read-only" communication channel for their own content (e.g. ‘research and development’).
A potential problem will be bbc as a "gateway" to a toxic fediverse of un-moderated content, a natural and obvious high risk for children. We shall see...
