Without Checking for Understanding, instruction is blind. You can apply very effective evidence informed strategies, but you still ned to know what all your student grasp of the content during the lesson while it is being taught.
 
In this Roundtable you meet four international experts on Checking for Understanding. Interesting for you as listeners is also that they all have extensive classroom experience. All of them work with schools in many countries to support them in improving their classroom practioce based on the Science of Learning (SoL).
 
As a teacher you will benefit a lot from learning as much as you can about Checking for Understanding, and apply it every day in your teaching.
 
You can be a novice or an expert on this topic, you will still enjoy this talk and learn from it. This talk is really unique and these four experts made it unique. They were so dynamic and engaging in  interacting with each other.
 
Make sure to listen. Meet: Kate Jones, Dylan Wiliam, Nidhi Sachdeva and Tom Sherrington.

Both Reading and Writing are biologically secondary knowledge. That means we need to apply explicit instruction for our students to learn effectively. Both Reading and Writing are also complex which means high cognitive load, especially in the initial learning process.
 
So to be successful in teaching writing and reading it is really important that we are systematic, structured and apply evidence informed strategies.
 
To learn more about what is important and what we need to focus on, what can be better than listening to a group of the very best international experts in these areas.
 
This is a Roundtable for every teacher to listen to. It is also beneficial for school leaders to learn more about important priorities for the schools they are leading.
 
This talk is really engaging and dynamic. This panel of guests interacts in a way that makes it so interesting for the listener and adds new perspectives.
 
In this talk you will meet Natalie Wexler, Pamela Snow, Clare Sealy, Anna Eva Hallin and David Didau.

In today's talk you will experience two amazing guests. They are so interesting to listen to when they discuss and coreflect.
Meet professor Barbara Oakley and professor John Sweller.
 
Professor Barbara Oakley has contributed and is contributing so much to the area of education based on the Science of Learning. She is also co-creator of the world-renowned online course "Learning How to Learn" with several millions of participants. https://barbaraoakley.com/
 
Professor John Sweller is well known worldwide for formulating Cognitive Load Theory (CLT).
CLT is an important part of the Science of Learning that it is beneficial for every teacher to get familiar with and understand the mechanisms within.
 
The work and contributions of Oakley and Sweller overlaps and their discussions together give so many synergies. Listening to them is interesting and engaging for everyone of us involved in education.

Det här avsnittet tipsar vi lärare och skolledare om möjligheterna med såväl Erasmusprojekt som eTwinningprojekt.
 
Många skolor jobbar redan såväl med Erasmus som eTwinning, men det här avsnittet är till nytta både för dig som redan jobbar med projekt av den här typen och för dig som ännu inte börjat, men är nyfiken och vill ha kloka tips och råd.
 
Dagens gäst - Emelie Hahn - är eTwinningambassadör på Universitets-och högskolerådet (UHR) och har dessutom omfattande erfarenheter av att driva Erasmusprojekt. Till vardags är hon förstelärare, undervisar i tyska och So-ämnen på Gränbyskolan, Uppsala. Vidare är hon författare och läromedelsutvecklare.

Det är ytterst sällan vi i den här podden har ett avsnitt som handlar om en bok. Det här är ett sällsynt undantag och det gör vi för att innehållet i den här boken är så starkt grundad i hur lärande sker eller det som internationellt brukar kallas the Science of Learning (SOL).
 
Boken handlar om ett så aktuellt område som om läsinlärning, vad forskningen säger om vad som fungerar samt konkreta och praktiska exempel på hur evidens kan omsättas i klassrumspraktik. Dagens gäster håller sig gärna till begreppet the Science of Reading, som ju helt enkelt bara är en del av SOL, men mer specifikt för läsning och skrivning.
 
Gästerna i det här avsnittet heter Anna Eva Hallin och Linda Fälth.
 
Anna Eva Hallin är logoped och forskare. Linda Fälth är professor i pedagogik och även specialpedagog. Tillsammans har de skrivit boken Tidig läsundervisning med ljudningsmetoden - Phonics på svenska.
 
Boken rekommenderas varmt och boken har ett upplägg, som gör att den lämpar sig utomordentligt bra för en bokcirkel.

Today's Roundtable started as an idea when I was talking to Kate Jones - a year ago - during the conference researchED Scandinavia in Haninge, Sweden.
You could say that an idea became a dream a year ago. But after a long process of coordination that has now  led to today's Roundtable, where you as listener will have the privilege of listening to a Dream Team in the area of Feedback for Learning.
 
Everyone in today's panel are experts on feedback from many different perspectives and have written excellent books about feedback. Many of the books have feedback in the title and some books have formative assessment in the title, but include a lot to learn about feedback..

Every kid deserves the best math instruction possible! A key to that is that it is based on evidence. When we design such instruction it must be based on how learning happens, which means based on the Science of Learning (SOL).
 
To learn as much as possible about that, what can be better than having five of the very best international math experts on a panel= on this Roundtable.
 
All of our participants in today's Roundtable are doing a lot - in an international perspective - for the development of effective Math instruction based on the Science of Learning (SOL). Together with their expertise on math and on SOL they are important communicators on how evidence can be translated into effective classroom practice.
 
Learn from and reflect based on listening to this unique conversation with five brilliant math minds. This means listening to a dynamic and unique Roundtable with Amanda VanDerHeyden, Anna Stokke, Barbara Oakley, Craig Barton and John Mighton.

Att utveckla elevernas läsförmåga är en helt central framgångsfaktor för studieframgång. Vår undervisning i skolan vinner helt naturligt på att vi genomför den grundat i hur lärande sker. AI berör oss alla och vi måste lära oss om och använda AI klokt.
 
I det här Rundabordssamtalet får vi vara med om ett initierat och engagerande samtal, som länkar ihop, relaterar och ger perspektiv på the Science of Learning (SOL), the Science of Reading och AI. Och det blev möjligt tack vare att dagens panel består av en expert på vardera området, som dessutom har kunskaper om varandras områden.
 
Experterna i dagens samtal är professor Linda Fälth (fokus läsning), professor Jonas Linderoth (fokus SOL) och Erik Winerö (fokus AI och lärande).

In this conversation, you will listen to a unique panel of international experts in cognitive load theory including John Sweller himself. Together with him, you will meet four experts with a unique ability to apply cognitive load theory (CLT) in the classroom and to support teachers in learning to do so. John Sweller accompanied by Kate Jones, Nidhi Sachdeva, Greg Ashman and Ollie Lovell; what an amazing panel for the topic for this Roundtable!
 
This Roundtable is a valuable listen for every teacher and school leader. But as a listener, you will get the most out of the conversation if you have a basic understanding of cognitive architecture and the basics of cognitive load theory. Feel free to listen to episodes 56 and/or 60 of this podcast before or after this episode. Specifically, on CLT Effects – which today’s Roundtable is about – both Greg Ashman and Ollie Lovell have written books for teachers that are highly recommended and cover a number of the CLT effects in a very accessible way.
