At Crick Primary School, we are committed to developing curious, resilient and ambitious learners. Our beliefs around excellent teaching and learning are informed by the work of Barak Rosenshine, who based the following ten principles of instruction and suggested classroom practices on:
- research on how the brain acquires and uses new information,
- research on the classroom practices of those teachers whose children show the highest gains,
- findings from studies that taught learning strategies to children.
Our core principles for teaching and learning are based on Rosenshine’s Principals :
-
- Daily review
- Present new material in small steps
- Ask questions
- Provide models and worked examples
- Guide children’s practice
- Check children’s understanding
- Obtain a high success rate
- Provide scaffolds for challenging activities
- Independent practice
- Weekly and monthly review
