Longworth Education course notes

The Nitty Gritty

Descriptive commenting and coaching is a focus.  The idea of videoing yourself and listening to the types of commenting that you are using for social and academic coaching in the classroom.

Evidence

Academic coaching - colours and basic vocabulary (bucket, sand).  ESOL focus.

Need to focus on lower, calmer voice.

Good to hear that there is wait time and space for children to think - doesn't break their concentration.
