About the speaker:
Helen Howell is Director of English at the Blue Coat School in Oldham. She's the author of The Revision Revolution: How to build a culture of effective study in your school, co-written with Ross Morrison McGill. She's passionate about encouraging schools to build a culture of study – so that students revise effectively and even enjoy it!
Here's an extract from the downloadable PowerPoint resource to accompany the webinar:
The ‘Why’: students understand the principles of effective revision through a centralised cognitive science curriculum.
The ‘How’: students have a toolbox of strategies to use for effective revision that are repeatedly modelled to them in lessons.
‘Why’ & ‘How’ combined: students can independently revise at home by selecting tools from their revision toolbox that are both effective and non-threatening. There is a clear connection between the powerful knowledge of the curriculum, assessment and revision.
