How to make your students remember what you teach them
Caroline Bentley-Davies is a teacher trainer, adviser, coach and the author of many bestselling books, as well as having trained thousands of teachers. In this book, she addresses the issues that many teachers face when trying to make learning more memorable and improve their students’ learning skills and independence. She shares her passion for helping students develop an appetite and aptitude for active, lifelong learning through teaching in ways that develop metacognition, resilience and a growth mindset. Topics include:
• How are high expectations signalled to pupils?
• The physical climate: wall displays
• Multiple-choice questions: do they help learning stick?
• Six characteristics of quality feedback
• The Toolkit: 50 strategies to help your students remember what what you teach them
• Sticky Teaching in Practice: Plenaries
I was particularly interested in information around the use of displays to guide and reinforce the students’ understanding of key pieces of learning, a stages to greatness board, that provides a vision of their goal and examples of annotated work at different levels to illustrate what makes for a quality piece of work. The charts and activities will be of value to both the novice and experienced teacher.
