"Nothing we're looking at here is nothing new. Teachers do these things. But it's the extent to which you do it."
In this episode, Arthur Moore and Mike Harrowell are joined by Claire Grimes to discuss implementing Rosenshine's principles of instruction in schools. Claire shares her experience of writing a book on Rosenshine and provides insights on how to bring these principles into schools. They discuss the importance of generating a shared understanding and language around the principles, focusing on specific areas of need, and providing ongoing support and professional development. They also address potential pushback from teachers and emphasize the importance of intentional and reflective practice. The episode concludes with a discussion on how to get staff on board and sustain the implementation of the principles.
