Congratulations to Ms. Princess,  our Year 1-7 LA, and her husband on the birth of their little princess. Mom and baby are both well and enjoying some well-deserved rest.  
Any form of board spray needs to be placed away in a cupboard. The visitor from the Ministry brought this to our attention last week, so please be aware when using the spray.

Good News!

Interesting Read by Barak Rosenshine

'This article presents 10 research-based principles of instruction, along with suggestions for classroom practice. These principles come from three sources: (a)research in cognitive science, (b) research on master teachers, and (c) research on cognitive supports.'

The following is a list of some of the instructional principles that have come from these three sources. 

These ideas will be described and discussed in this article:
• Begin a lesson with a short review of previous learning.
• Present new material in small steps with student practice after
each step.
• Ask a large number of questions and check the responses of all
students.
• Provide models.
• Guide student practice.
• Check for student understanding.
• Obtain a high success rate.
• Provide scaffolds for difficult tasks.
• Require and monitor independent practice.
• Engage students in weekly and monthly review.
