Know your children, build their confidence, by showing them it’s OK to fail […] There are ALWAYS going to be different levels of understanding, but it’s about catering for ALL, allowing them to achieve their PERSONAL POTENTIAL.
Having recently read this book, I was able to enhance my teaching, as I started to implement many of the techniques suggested. I could see that the strategies were realistic, logical and really did help my children progress.
The key fundamentals of knowing ‘How to make it stick’.
Keeping it real…
PERSEVERE, PRAISE & INSTIL CONFIDENCE.
Immediate Feedback…
INTERVENING AT PRECISELY THE RIGHT MOMENT IS KEY.
Prioritize, one step at a time…
FOCUS, REFUEL AND CEMENT.
Repeat, adapt and strategically reintroduce…
‘A baseball player who practices batting by swinging at fifteen fastballs, then at fifteen curveballs, and then at fifteen change-ups will perform better in practise than the player who mixes it up. But the player who asks for random pitches during practice builds his ability to decipher and respond to each pitch as it comes his way, and he becomes the better hitter.’
Strengthening the memory using spaced retrieval learning…
‘As you reconstruct learning from long-term memory, as awkward as it feels, you are strengthening your mastery as well as the memory.’
BUILD IN POINTS FOR CHILDREN TO STRUGGLE, IT WILL STRENGTHEN THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEARNING.
Making mistakes, knowing exactly where you went wrong and correcting helps…
True or false, articulate and the use of misconceptions…
‘True of false questions’ assess what they have contained, in their memory.
‘Articulate’ allows the children to explain the learning accurately, going back to the ‘bare bones’ of the concept.
‘Misconceptions’ allow children to challenge what they think they know and compare with what they actually know.
Then they have to prove and justify, again articulating learning and strengthening memory.
Keeping it simple but effective, quality over quantity…
Get straight to the main point of learning and make sure the model is clear, inspirational and captures the key aspects that the children need to understand.
Make it relevant, make it real and alter those objectives…
We are teaching children to be savvy in an ever changing world, with 21st century careers, therefore it’s essential that we think about how we can alter the objectives. We need them to relate to an area of learning that the children will use, in their future careers.

There’s nothing special about the energy we sell. In fact, it’s exactly the same energy as all our competitors provide. But there is something special about the way we do it. Where others complicate the process, we simplify it. Where others confuse customers with hidden terms, we’re an open book. And where others do all they can to make as much money from their customers as possible, we do all we can to make as little. Everything we do, we do it differently. Our customers are a privilege. One we’ll never take advantage of.
