Highlighting has been identified as being a less effective study strategy compared to retrieval & spaced practice (Dunlosky et al 2013, Hattie & Donohue 2021) but this technique can be used as a starting point when it comes to studying. Read my article here: hwrkmagazine.co.uk/dont-ditch-t...

*** NEW POST *** If memory is the residue of thought, how do we support pupils to think about the content of the lesson rather than its container? www.tes.com/magazine/tea... via @tesmagazine.bsky.social

The quotes below show how providing cued recall & scaffolding for younger learners can be more effective for the initial retrieval task - leading to retrieval success & developing confidence but it's important to keep a 'desirably difficult' level of challenge.

"Feedback should be efficient (for the teacher) & effective (for the pupil)" @katejonesteach.bsky.social & important recognition alongside the EEF report- policies should exemplify principles of effective feedback but not over-specify. Practices vary across subjects & key stages #feedback #teacher
