The SENDcast Using Rosenshine's Principles of Instruction with SEND pupils with Dr Susie Nyman
Are you familiar with Rosenshine's 10 principles of instruction? Rosenshine's principles are based on evidence-informed teaching and enhance teacher performance in the classroom. They are to be implemented into everyday teaching for simplicity and clarity and underpin any effective approach to instruction in lessons:
- Daily review
- Presenting new material in small steps (consequently reducing cognitive overload)
- Asking questions
- Presenting models
- Guided student practice (by practising retrieval, questioning and appropriate help)
- Checking for student understanding
- Achieving an elevated success rate of 80%
- Providing scaffolding (facilitating incremental mastery of a skill or concept)
- Independent practice
- Weekly and monthly review
Dr Susie Nyman joins Dale for today's podcast 'Using Rosenshine's Principles of Instruction with SEND Students'. Susie gives an insight into how the 10 principles can be implemented in the classroom with SEND students. Listen to hear innovative strategies and solutions she has used first-hand whilst working in the classroom at The Sixth Form College, Farnborough and at The Oratory School.
