students? #hummingstealerswheel #ukedchat Get all aiming high to engage the best. Peer groups of students working together to bring along all, no matter the ability #ukedchat Planning for student progression. Always great to show them how far they've already travelled. @davidhunter Some people call that "flipped learning" now. #ukedchat @Mrs___F @johntomsett @LearningSpy The middle is the critical mass. Challenge up? #ukedchat @jackieschneider @andrew_cowley23 few weeks and considerably less smug than #ukedchat @davidhunter When I was at school we copied off the board and tutted at the slowest writer. Was that differentiation? #ukedchat RT @MrWickensPE: Fantastic presentation at #INTPETM @MrMacPE. Will be sharing this with colleagues #ukedchat #pegeeks Expectations are so powerful. I often worry when we talk about children's 'ability'. A person's potential is unknowable. #ukedchat RT @headguruteacher: "@LearningSpy: Pitch to the top, support at the bottom. The only way. #ukedchat" Yup...definitely this. ;) @frogphilp flipped? It's back to the future! Great Scott #ukedchat RT @LearningSpy: @ChrisChivers2 @MrsThorne It does? Checking prior knowledge is the ONLY way to tell if they've learned anything #ukedchat #ukedchat After mulling it over,think I can paraphrase my Diff thus:Plan by VAK;SC by level;Sup material by ability;personal sup by attitude @Tech_Stories @chrischivers2 - you forgot babysitter, Goves hench man & entertainer #ukedchat @ufasarah Unknowable is an helpful word for potential. I don't like it when children are asked to "exceed their potential" #ukedchat RT @Primary_Ed: To prove how many teachers use twitter, RETWEET IF YOU ARE A TEACHER! #ukedchat #poweroftwitter @LearningSpy haha. probably not very effective, although I read that shaming is an effective practice in China

The skill is that it doesn't matter what choice student makes so long as they make progress #ukedchat @MrsThorne @TenaciousHead Hadn't thought of the music, great idea! #ukedchat @ufasarah agree, but knowing where they are starting from & planning effectively is key to facilitate developing that potential #ukedchat The way we inspire and motivate our students has a huge impact on progression and performance #ukedchat #ukedchat And of course make the links between education and employment, to answer the "Why am I at school again?" question. #careersadvice @ChrisRaynerd I'm no advocate. #justsayin but it was highly effective with me, probably less so with other classmates #ukedchat #ukedchat.
