Webinars: Lesson tweaks for deep transferable learning
Short description
If your school has an amibitious vision ie not just getting the maximum GCSE pass rate, you'll need a science curriculum that aims at 'Deep and transferable learning'. Not the popular scheme that are stuck in what John Hattie calls 'surface learning' mode. If you're ready to go beyond the simplistic notions about the best way to teach that are currently in fashion, we can show you 10 tweaks to upgrade your lessons:Webinar 1: Deep learning tweaks

Hattie's model of surface, deep, transfer learning
Learning strategies: a synthesis and conceptual model
1. Create curiosity
Intellectual curiosity is the third pillar of academic performance
2. Build models
3. Concrete preparation
4. Just-in-time skills
Ofsted Subject report series: science
5. Use analogies
Making science concepts meaningful to students
Webinar 2: Transferable learning tweaks
Follow the links below to learn the theory behind the lesson tweaks, download the slides, or watch the recording:
1. Set problem solving goals
Task-Centered Instructional Strategy
Impact of Explicit Failure and Success-driven Preparatory Activities on Learning
2. Teach problem-solving strategies
The contribution of cognitive and metacognitive strategy use to students' science achievement
Categorization and representation of physics problems by experts and novices
3. Build self-explanation skill
Eliciting Self-Explanations Improves Understanding
4. Differentiate scaffolding
5. Assess with transfer tasks
A True Test: Toward More Authentic and Equitable Assessment
