Professors Rob Coe and Stuart Kime, on the 11th of March, discussed the concepts of "routine expertise" and "adaptive expertise" in a webinar. This webinar, which is also available as a podcast, examined the essence of expertise in education and beyond, providing invaluable insights for educators working in any context.

Rob and Stuart discussed:

 	* Understanding what distinguishes routine expertise from adaptive expertise, and why both are crucial in different contexts.
 	* The implications of these concepts for professional development and classroom practice.

Professors Coe and Kime have years of research and practical experience between them. This is a rare opportunity to hear them in conversation, and to understand more about the nuances of expertise in teaching, and how to develop more of it!

Developing Great Teaching across a Multi Academy Trust

Kate Jones, Senior Associate for Teaching and Learning, interviews Science teacher, co-founder of Carousel Learn and author Adam Boxer about retrieval practice in the classroom.

Understanding the role of memory in the learning process is essential for all educators. It is important for those planning and designing lessons to be aware of the limitations of working memory and recognise how regular retrieval practice can strengthen long-term memory. Retrieval practice involves recalling already-learned information from long-term memory to make that learned information easier and quicker to retrieve in the future.

In this episode:

 	* Adam Boxer explains why teachers should carefully consider the language used when discussing retrieval practice in the classroom, providing all learners with retrieval opportunities.
 	* Kate asks Adam how teachers can provide retrieval opportunities, other than a ‘Do Now’ or quizzing starter task. Adam explores the importance of regular retrieval practice and how retrieval opportunities can be promoted throughout a lesson and for homework.
 	* Adam talks about how Carousel Learning was developed and explains all the different features and tools the platform can provide for teachers. You can found out more about Carousel Learn here.
 	* Retrieval practice in the primary classroom is also explored.
 	* Finally, Kate and Adam explain the importance of explaining effective (and ineffective learning strategies) to students.

To enhance your use of retrieval practice you can access the Science of Learning Programme, as part of the Great Teaching Toolkit and download the eBook Retrieval Practice: Myths, Mutations and Mistakes. All of our podcasts can be found in our podcast archive, and we have a host of free eBooks, videos and webinars for you in our Resource Library.

Great questioning promotes deep thinking, helping students connect and elaborate on ideas.  Great questioning to assess thinking helps teachers plan and adapt their teaching to respond to what assessment tells them.  Teachers ask questions every lesson, every day - so it’s important to make sure that teachers and students are asking the right questions to move learning forward.

In this episode of our podcast, Kate Jones, Senior Associate for Teaching and Learning, interviews teacher, senior leader and author Michael Chiles about questioning in the classroom.
