If you’re teaching in an inquiry style that starts with explanations and modelling, has checks for understanding and gradual release, then problem-solving, then you’re probably not using inquiry. And that’s ok.

I’m loving this “circumplex model” of teaching styles. “Effective teachers adapt and respond. They clarify when needed, they’re attuned to student needs, and they steer clear of student chaos” #warmdemander #studentmotivation #teachingstyle

Y tho.

Rebecca Birch Nothing says equity like ‘guess what’s in my head’ teaching.

What inquiry and explicit camps seem to disagree about could be summed up as when, how, and how much guidance is given. Not *whether* guidance is given. How Much and What Type of Guidance is Optimal for Learning from Instruction? (2009). In Constructivist Instruction Routledge

Rebecca Birch They would probably show you this. Structured inquiry Controlled inquiry Guided Inquiry Free inquiry Paul A. Kirschner has a compelling argument on the "THE COLD LEFT-OVERS OF INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING" wp.me/p63diD-7P

🚨New episode🚨 Adam Boxer joins me on the pod to discuss why the way most schools run CPD is broken, and how they can fix it. Adam, as ever, sits firmly on the fence and doesn't voice any controversial opinions 🥴 It's a good one.

Education researchers complain that they feel unfairly targeted today. That raises a critical question: Have these scholars done their part to promote free inquiry or healthy discourse? Umm, I’m going to go with “no”.

Beanie School uniforms are a great way to combat the sloppiness of modern society. They level the playing field and instill the idea that learning is serious and respectable.

Super interesting from PISA 2015. Disciplinary climate moderates gains from inquiry learning. Unsurprising, and very pronounced differences between top and bottom quartiles for behaviour in Australia.

I’ve said that teacher-centered vs student-centered instruction is an unhelpful frame and that monologic vs dialogic more helpful. One reason for this is the research on opportunities to respond (OTR).

Teaching is the only profession I can think of where full autonomy of the laissez-faire kind is expected. It's no wonder we struggle to get pay parity with other professions.

Anonymous Post: Has anyone noticed a change in parental attitudes? Not long ago, parents appreciated our extra effort. This year feels different. In Year 6, we’ve prepared for SATs, organised trips, and more, but no thanks. After a week away with their kids, parents collected

I’ve seen a series of tweets about how grades don’t make students happy. What a pompous position of privilege this comes from.

I'm having a Captain Obvious moment: DI is just explicit teaching with all the variance taken out. Ironically, it seems to work better than adaptive teaching. But I wonder if there's a cap when it comes to transfer.

OK, was not expecting this. :P

That feeling when you introduce a measure of inquiry teaching and it pwns inquiry teaching #PISA #OECD

When people say "balance" is most important, show them this. Balance is a meaningless rhetorical device. And look what happens with 21st Century teaching when the teacher is at the centre! #PISA #inquiry
