  1. For some teachers there could be confusion of the differences of 'repetitive skill/ drill' and ' practice'.

  2. I found matching the Hattie quotes to the headings quite challenging, as their were obviously various different ways to read into some of the quotes, whilst others were fairly obvious.

  3. The activity matching Hattiesburg quotes challenged my understanding in that I really did need to fully understand the concept in order to complete the activity. It was a chance to refine and clarify my understanding

  4. I found the activities around plotting on the Student Profile challenging today. It was difficult to ascertain where the sample student's skills were at with the information provided.

    1. It's so much easier in real life, when you have a student that is real and you have the benefit of lesson observation.

  5. Hattie's quotes certainly underpin the theory behind the intervention. It's amazing to see the degree to which they overlap.

  6. My challenge is to incorporate explicit teaching of vocabulary that will stimulate vocabulary growth. I want to make sure my students benefit from my love and enthusiasm of words.

  7. The matching task challenged my thinking as it required application of input material that I had not fully processed yet. I could see clearly where some labels and descriptions could match but not others.

  8. Our readings today have made me think about what is the best way to teach vocab. The challenge is not to assume that every student comes with equal exposure to vocab and that ones socio economic background can play a huge part in what students know and what they need to know.

  9. I found the activity with Hattie's quotes challenging. Once matched, the connection was easy to see. it is important for our practice to be based on evidence.

  10. A challenge with a content-heavy curriculum and individual student needs is making time to allow opportunities for students to have deliberate practice and over-learn a skill.

  11. The Hattie task was challenging as I feel much of it was open to interpretation. However, once it was discussed it was clear which category was correct.
