Importance of Foundational Knowledge and Rehearsing Information in Education

Pritesh is a science teacher, head of science and assistant head in charge of teaching and learning at Ark Soane Academy.  Known as the best science teacher in the country because of his student’s outstanding results, Pritesh takes us through the what, why and how of his approach to classroom teaching, including direct instruction, rehearsal, participation, the three phases of questioning, independent work, booklets, sequencing, chunking and precision.

Amongst other things, we also discuss the intentional development character, culture and behaviour – things which are evident in abundance when talking to students at Ark Soane Academy.
