https://t.co/DZ0ydnuRQa 🧡 We have been overwhelmed at our student’ kindness, understanding and engagement with their first culture day. It feels very apt to wrap up with a summary with what culture day means from one of our Year 7’s speech in Morning Meeting.

Our Year 7 stretch projects are in full force. We have thoroughly enjoyed hearing our students’ interests and their first attempt in KS3 at public speaking, showing excellent levels of #diligence, #autonomy and #purpose. A great quote to end our week- hard work means everything!

Our Musician of the Month goes to the wonderful Ibrahim in Year 8. He has achieved Grade 2 trombone in less than a year, and has independently learned the full, unsimplified version of Für Elise by Beethoven on piano through several months of #diligent practice.

Scaffolds aren’t permanent, they’re blueprints for independence. Next in our #OpenSource series: Principle 6⃣: modelling and scaffolding. Teachers make thinking visible, chunk tasks, and remove support at the right moment. 🎬 Episode three coming soon!

💭Great teaching isn’t left to chance, it’s built with structure. Watch episode two of our instruction principles series to see how routines, formative assessment, and retrieval create classrooms where learning sticks. #Education #Instruction #EdResearch #DixonsOpenSource
