It was a joy to be back at @ Kings'​ Education Kings’ School Dubai today to work with the specialist teachers. I am endlessly fascinated by what is universal good practice in any classroom and I love being challenged to adapt my strategies to specialist subjects.

As sun sets on #MESLC 2025, I’m left with some beautiful memories of a great event. Fab to catch up with Professor Rob Coe again and to hear him talking about the subject closest to my heart: why teaching matters the most. Thank you once again Leisa Grace Wilson #speaker

Invite pupils to annotate their own work before handing it in - most effective when done in relation to numbered success criteria. #teachprimary #marking #feedback #self-assessment

Place a trail of items around the edges of the the classroom and invite pupils to walk around the circuit thinking about: - How the items are connected. - Any odd ones out. - The learning objective for the lesson? - How the circuit links to prior learning

Instead of providing students with a correct model answer, commonly known as a WAGOLL, provide them with an anonymous, substandard answer (a WASOLL) instead. Challenge pupils to: - Identify the mistakes - Correct the mistakes - Replicate this process when editing their own work

All pupils begin standing up. They can only sit down once they have suggested a success criterion. If numbers are an issue, allow pupils to work in twos or threes. If pupils are struggling, allow them a lifeline such as 'pass it to the class' or 'phone a friend'.

'On a Roll' brings a more relaxed feel to work, especially revision. Invite pupils to cover rolls of paper with representations of their current learning in a style of their choice. Put the rolls away and reintroduce them later to check what they have remembered. #revision
