So - another quick presentation - this time on modelling, the focus on which over the last 4 years has hugely improved the clarity, accessibility and challenge of our lessons. At the heart of teaching - taking care and paying attention to the way that we model key skills and content.

Natural sweeteners to replace refined white sugar Stewia, Agave Nectar, Monk Fruit and Xylitol How to do it

Sometimes sweeter than sugar, the glycemic index of these natural sweeteners is low, which means that the blood does not significantly raise blood sugar levels. Replace purified white sugar at the table and while cooking. These natural sweeteners are real sugars and are better than artificial or nutritious sweeteners that are divided into heat. STEVJA SteviaStevia, a natural sweetener to replace refined white sugar, is a natural sweetener derived from the leaves of a sweet-leaved plant.

Effective modelling - by which I mean showing students how to write well - empowers by enabling application of knowledge,  articulacy, and the expression of complex ideas. It’s also deceptively complex, it seems to me, and therefore a highly-skilled element of classroom practice. Here is an outline for a possible way to go about it. Many of us are sceptical about highly-prescribed processes, because they can appear mechanistic and lack an appreciation of context. The below is of course only one strategy and many others are possible. My focus here is on using pre-prepared paragraph models, written in advance and shared with students in completed form. Live modelling has advantages but also limitations: I've often found that spontaneously writing a focused and clear model paragraph, whilst simultaneously managing a full classroom of teenagers, is tricky and can  easily result in  confusing writing. Pre-prepared models, however, can be precisely tailored and tweaked to ensur...
