The Importance of Invisible Brackets in Teaching

The first question that a coach can ask when they're in a teacher's classroom is are there any attention issues. The next kind of action step for teachers to work on to be based around Willingham's simple model of memory which is absolutely fantastic so the idea is that we can you know that's how learning happens and we can also use it as a kind of diagnostic flow chart. If students just kind of do this do the equation like the five plus three divided by the two in order of the way that they see it they might not even understand invisible brackets, says Professor Peter Haines.
