T1 is a practical and elegant explanation of memory and how it links to the process of learning. Definitely worth checking out.
T2 is a handy website for teaching (or rather, facilitating) reading comprehension.
T3 is some supporting evidence for a resource I shared back in TOT070 about promoting productive academic discussions in the science classroom. I'll be looking into this more and it gives me some ideas for some future ERRR episodes.
T4 is a wonderful Mr. Barton Maths podcast that follows on well from his discussion with Bernie Westacott on using manipulatives.
T5 made me re-think elements of my teaching and, along with a rant from Tom Sherrington on textbooks, has encouraged me to use them a little more this coming year.
T6 is a mathematical learning trajectory which two early learning specialists, Helen Williams and Bernie Westacott have expressed support for.
T7, 8, and 9 are all from Cambridge Mathematics (I came across them at a conference presentation that I went to this week) and I'll let the titles speak for themselves. I really like the idea of ‘espressos', which are short 2 page summaries of education research, and how it relates to the teaching of mathematics, compiled by Lucy Rycroft-Smith. Who recently appeared in an episode of the Mr. Barton Maths podcast too.
Enjoy : )

If I ever teach teachers, this is the model of memory that I'll use, via @EfratFurst, applied by @BenRogersEdu
Wow. I can't believe I haven't seen this incredible post by @EfratFurst before! One of the clearest and most engaging models of memory that I've come across, and exquisitely linked to knowledge, understanding, use, and mastery. ht #CogSciSci pic.twitter.com/iEVVni7BzI

Readtheory.org, a fantastic online reading comprehension resource
Yesterday in an action research presentation at my school one teacher shared the website https://t.co/pnnAbSpquH. I checked it out. It shares texts with students online, then gets them to answer comprehension Qs based upon it. Here's an example (1/2) pic.twitter.com/TEqZ67j5Hh

When a student selects an incorrect answer (as I did) it gives them feedback on what the correct answer was, and why, and why the distractors were incorrect (here's a sample, can't see all as need to scroll). It also tracks student progress over time. Worth checking out : ) (2/2) pic.twitter.com/UyP9aDrhqx

The EEF Found that the ‘Talk Science' (TERC) resources had a positive impact on student learning, via @EducEndowFound
In TOT070 I shared resources on developing productive academic talk in the science classroom. I just came across an @EducEndowFoundn study that used these resources (in combo with others) and generated a pretty robust positive impact on student learning. https://t.co/NU8TqjQXUa

Teaching with booklets and visualisers, via @bennewmark
Very interesting piece on teaching based upon booklets and visualisers. Sounds like it could be really good. https://t.co/FAZpoJqTdo @bennewmark, to what extent do you think you could do a similar thing with a traditional textbook? pic.twitter.com/SC7SngCUBz
