A Classroom Where Mistakes Help Learning
Students need to understand the next step, not feel embarrassed that they have not mastered it yet.
Make the Skill Manageable
Difficult tasks are broken into smaller stages. Models and scaffolding help students begin, then gradually work more independently.
Understand the Marks
Mark-scheme-led teaching explains why an answer receives credit. Students connect exam techniques to the quality of their actual reading and writing.
Practise and Build Confidence
Interactive teaching, repeated practice and useful feedback help students learn from mistakes and recognise their progress.
