Modelling in the Classroom Implicit Vs. Explicit A Fundamental tool to set standards and expectations Metacognition Thinking Verbal Communication Tasks Success

Implicit Modelling Spoken Verbal Responses Use of Literacy Attitudes towards learning new things Peer to Peer Work Positive talk and ‘Hope’ not ‘Helplessness’ Showcase yourself out of your own comfort zone

Motivation: Intrinsic and Extrinsic Extrinsic Motivation: When external rewards are the dominant factor. Short lived Motivated by short-ranged outcome Grades/Tests etc. If all our pupils are intrinsically motivated they are more likely to engage with the learning, develop their pedagogical curiosity and motivate others Intrinsic Motivation: Involves engaging in a behaviour that develops the personal desire for success Participating because the activity is fun Solving a puzzle as the challenge is fun Higher order thinking as they find it interesting/exciting
