September 13, 2023Pocket Pedagogy - Ratio with Adam Boxer
Doug Lemov's concept of 'ratio' is absolutely essential in our classrooms, yet still goes under the radar in many INSET / CPD programmes in schools.
This week, Shelley and Rach are joined by Adam Boxer, who has written extensively and delivered webinars on the idea of ratio in the past. They discuss what is meant by ratio and what it looks like in the classroom, challenges that you may encounter when trying to increase ratio in your classroom, as well as some tips for HoDs/LPs looking to develop this within their team.
PS. We promise that Shelley is a competent Biology teacher...
