“What I would love, is to turn on Coronation Street and see a scene that focused on a woman in a lab or a more technical role like engineering,” says @aimafidon CEO and Co-Founder @Stemettes Celebrate #INWED19 @INWED1919 #WomenInSTEM @MediaplanetUK + womeninstem.co.uk/breaking-s…

When I started researchED in 2013, I was told by several members of academia that 'You would never get teachers out to talk about research on a Saturday.' So, this is nice.
A quick photo thread (a thing?) for yesterday's #rEDRugby. Grateful to all who came & contributed. I said I hoped that friendships would deepen, knowledge would be shared & people's professional expertise would grow: I think we achieved that! See you in 2020! @researchED1

Rhombus (defined in 1679): "a Geometrical Figure, having 4 Sides, and those equal, but the Angles unequal, 2 opposite ones being Acute, the other 2 Obtuse. So called from the Greek word Rhombos, which signifies the Fish called a Turbot, and the Quarrels of Glass in a Window".

Another effect of disruptive behaviour is on the working memory of pupils. Anything that they attend to adds cognitive load. Unless you have a calm, purposeful classroom it literally makes it harder for pupils to learn. That’s cognitive science that is! #cogsci #edchat #behaviour
The importance of this cannot be over stressed. If classes don’t behave, learning barely happens, and fear and insecurity rockets for all. Two-thirds of teachers think of quitting over bad behaviour, survey finds | Education | The Guardian theguardian.com/education/20…

Fun fact thread: In polyhedra names, the prefix "triakis" means "add triangular pyramids on top of each triangular face." There are three Platonic solids with triangular faces that can be triakis-ized. Each of them is a Catalan solid, so of course we want to 3D print them...

328 studies over 50 years show that direct instruction (structured guidance for teachers, teaching discrete skills before application, daily checks on learning, regular testing for mastery) has consistent, large positive effects on student achievement: bit.ly/2Leaaxl ($)
