LEARNING STYLE- LESSON 1.pptx
The Four Learning Styles
The following information goes into detail about the VARK learning styles, how to recognize these styles in learners and how to integrate the style into classwork. It is good to remember that not all learners fit exactly into one category. There is often overlap in learner preference when it comes to style, especially across subject matter and activity.
1. Visual Learning
Recognizing visual learners: The visual learners in your classroom like to see and observe the things that they are learning about. Visual learners like to use pictures, diagrams and written directions to access information. This learning style has also been known as “spatial.” The students who are visual or spatial learners might draw, make lists or take notes in order to interact with and process information.
Supporting visual learners: Some of the more traditional styles of teaching support visual learners, such as whiteboards or projecting information onto a screen. Assignments could ask learners to make pictures or diagrams. In addition, providing class notes or handouts that students can follow along with are a great way to integrate visual learning into your curriculum. Visual learners may have a tough time with lectures and could need more time to process information that they hear auditorily.
2. Auditory Learning
Recognizing auditory learners: The auditory learners in your class learn best by listening and relating information to sound. These are students who prefer listening to a lecture or a recording rather than taking written notes. They may also be students who think out loud and speak through a concept in order to dive into it. Your auditory learners are most likely your most vocal students in class. They may also be the ones who read out loud to themselves. Auditory learners often repeat what a teacher has said to process what the directions are.
Supporting auditory learners: Including a lot of time for discussion can support the auditory learners in your classroom. They want to hear what others have to say and share their own ideas in order to learn and process information. When you are giving a lecture, ask auditory learners to repeat what they have learned back to you. Call and response or question-and-answer processes can also benefit auditory learners. In addition, auditory learners appreciate watching videos about a topic and listening to audiobooks or recordings.
3. Reading/Writing Learning
Recognizing reading/writing learners: This learning style is often confused with visual learning because reading/writing learners like to learn using the written word. This may seem like visual learning, but reading/writing preference learners can be discerned as those who express themselves through writing. They also enjoy reading articles and writing in diaries or journals. Your reading/writing learners may be experts with search engines and even old-school encyclopedias. They hunger for knowledge that they gather through reading.

parent revision guide
1) Revision involves actively looking over work to reinforce learning, identify gaps, and check understanding. It reduces exam stress and helps students achieve better results.
2) Parents should help their children with revision by discussing their studies, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and encouraging regular breaks. However, students should do the work themselves.
3) Creating a structured revision timetable with breaks built in helps students manage their time effectively. Knowing their preferred learning style (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) can also help students focus their revision activities.

Assessment and growth mindset
John Fenlon explains how to use assessments as a way to develop growth mindset, and make a shift away from the usual fixed mindset nature of them.
Don't just 'do' growth mindset
In this session, teacher David Fawcett explains that we shouldn't just be 'doing' growth mindset. It's not enough to have an assembly and display a poster on the wall. If we really want to develop a culture for Growth Mindset we need to make changes in our classroom.
Question Level Analysis and Pupil Progress Review Meetings
This is a presentation by Helen Strutton and Jack Wainwright explaining how they use QLA and PPRM in Science to improve student learning (and teacher quality).
Writing to a veronica
The document provides five tips for teaching writing skills to students for the A* level exam:
1. Model writing in the third person to encourage objective analysis.
2. Teach key vocabulary that captures complex ideas concisely.
3. Demonstrate effective introductory and connecting sentences to structure paragraphs and sections.
4. Encourage the use of nominalization to create concise and complex sentence structures.
5. Emphasize the importance of concise writing by eliminating repetition and "waffly" phrases through proofreading.
Strategies to attain highest grades helen
This document outlines strategies that teachers can use to help students achieve the highest grades (A*s). It discusses what top-grade students look like in terms of being exam-ready, independent learners, self-motivated and enthusiastic. Some key strategies proposed are ensuring students have a thorough grounding in fundamentals, precise learning objectives, regular cumulative testing and feedback, using varied models to explain key ideas, and providing a planned home learning schedule with weekly recall tests to promote independence and self-motivation. The goal is for top grades to result from a stimulating education through practical learning and extra-curricular opportunities.
Raising Academic Standards - 5 Strategies
This document provides strategies and examples for improving student writing skills. It suggests using subject-specific sentence starters to make writing more focused. It emphasizes the craft of writing expert sentences and provides question prompts to help with this. It also models the process of annotating and analyzing a strong sample of student writing to help students learn. Other tips include using vocabulary and terminology from the subject area, leaving space for redrafting, and focusing on feedback to close gaps in writing skills. The format and level of detail, facts, and academic vocabulary used is also important to model rigorous writing.
A to a Rich Charlesworth
This document discusses strategies to help students develop deeper thinking skills needed to achieve high grades. It describes activities like using functional English to discuss concepts, playing "odd one out" games to evaluate ideas, and connecting concepts with hexagon tiles. The goal is to encourage evaluation, discussion, and making connections between ideas. Extended writing can be improved by using sentence starters to further develop ideas. These activities aim to cultivate higher-order thinking in students.
Student response to feedback
This document discusses strategies for getting students to successfully respond to feedback in order to close the gap between their current performance and expectations. It recommends that feedback should cause thinking in students and reduce the gap between where they are and where they need to be. Several strategies are presented to encourage deeper student engagement with feedback, such as using burning questions, critique, redrafting with keys, and having students speak to peers. Challenges like ensuring strategies are used frequently and monitoring their use are also discussed. The document advocates adapting strategies as needed and continuing to share successful practices.
Revision and terminal assessments
This document provides information about revision and assessments for science classes. It includes tips for homelearning and communicating with parents, a sample timetable for homelearning assignments, and a range of revision resources and strategies for students. Suggestions for reflection include using question level analysis to identify weaknesses and setting goals for improvement.
Consistency : Marking as part of a holistic approach
The document discusses focusing lesson objectives and marking on a single skill. Having a specific focus allows students to better understand how to progress and makes marking quicker. It emphasizes that clear and concise marking along with focusing on one skill at a time makes it easier for students to understand expectations and feel less daunted by the tasks. Reinforcing objectives verbally and with repetition reduces student confusion over what is expected of them.
Time management and organisation of purposeful marking
This document outlines strategies for effectively managing the workload of marking student assignments. It recommends prioritizing marking using a monitoring sheet. It also suggests marking assignments efficiently by only commenting on the specific piece of work, linking comments to learning objectives, and collecting assignments in alphabetical order. The document stresses the importance of ensuring marking is purposeful by providing general feedback and allowing students time to respond to feedback through tasks like correcting errors. It concludes by noting the importance of periodically monitoring student work and communicating with managers about unreasonable marking loads.
The Value of Learning from our Mistakes
This document discusses the importance of learning from mistakes and student ownership of learning. It provides examples of drawing targets for students to improve specific skills like using a wider range of tones or adding finer details. The document outlines the rules of critique for providing feedback to other students, including being kind, specific, and giving a top tip. It shows examples of a drawing improving from heavier outlines and less tone variation to a refined shape, better tonal range, and details. Students are given time to apply the feedback and advice to their final shell drawing.
Discussion and arguments in Science
This document discusses dialogic teaching and developing arguments. It explains that dialogic teaching involves teachers and students addressing learning tasks collectively and building on each other's ideas. The goals are cognitive learning, understanding how knowledge is obtained, and social development. Students learn to structure arguments with an idea, evidence to support it, explaining how the evidence relates to the idea, considering opposing arguments, and how to convince others. The document provides examples of using this approach to discuss topics like food miles and funding a new zoo.
Making it stick
The document discusses how memory works through storage strength and retrieval strength. Storage strength increases the more an item is accessed, making it stronger in memory. Retrieval strength is how accessible the information is at that moment. Items with high storage strength and easily retrieved have the highest chance of being remembered. Testing can improve memory retention more than just studying, with spacing out tests over time being most effective.
Acronyms
This document discusses the history of medicine and medical advances from ancient Rome to the 19th and 20th centuries. It describes how the ancient Romans established public health systems with aqueducts, public baths, sewers, and town planning to prevent illness. It then outlines key figures and discoveries in anatomy, surgery, circulation, pain relief, infection, and bleeding including Vesalius, Harvey, Davy, Simpson, Lister, Landsteiner.
Effective Feedback
This document discusses providing effective feedback to students by personalizing feedback, using peer feedback and self-assessment, and marking for progress over time rather than just scores or grades.
Differentiation
This document discusses differentiation strategies for teaching students. It recommends starting with students' prior knowledge and creating challenges to promote problem solving. Teachers should pitch lessons at a level slightly above students' current abilities and provide scaffolding and feedback. The goal of differentiation is to make the thinking easier for students rather than just making tasks simpler. Both the skeletal and muscular systems are necessary to allow movement and participation in sports.

Teaching students to write effective revision notes
- 1. Teaching students to write effective revision notes. Sources: My own bias Experience of colleagues Experience of students Memory evidence Rationale: Our students do not know what makes revision more effective. There is an overreliance on revision guides as the revision ‘solution’.
- 2. Teaching students to write effective revision notes. Foundation: Brains and memory have been evolving for millions of year. Written language has only been around for 4,000-6,000 years. Evolution of the brain has prioritised what is needed to survive - Location (food, water, home, shelter…) - Images (friend/foe, recognising food…) - Communication (spoken, non-verbal)
