: Why Modelling Works: Using Live Modelling to Reduce Cognitive Load A free webinar aimed at secondary English teachers and teachers with an interest in modelling writing.

How do we effectively support students of all abilities and backgrounds in accessing writing and expressing their ideas with clarity?

Join leaders from Exchange Research School and Delta Academies Trust as we explore the Education Endowment Foundation’s (EEF) research around improving literacy in secondary schools, particularly around how practitioners can reduce cognitive load though adaptive teaching and modelling. Partake in this first-of-its-kind webinar as we explore evidence of this implemented effectively in the classroom, and what this might look like in your own specific context.
