This resource introduces dual coding as a powerful evidence-informed strategy for enhancing learning through the combined use of visual and verbal information. Grounded in cognitive science, it explains how working memory processes visual and verbal content separately, reducing cognitive load and improving retention when used well. Included in this pack: editable PowerPoint, Takewaway editable handout, EEF Poster and Summary Guide Teachers will find: A clear explanation of how dual coding works and why it matters. Practical examples across English, humanities, maths, and science. Step-by-step strategies such as mind maps, annotated diagrams, storyboards, timelines, infographics, and sketch noting. Guidance on supporting SEND learners, reducing cognitive load, and providing multiple access points for understanding. Common pitfalls to avoid, ensuring visuals are purposeful and not decorative. The resource highlights the EEF evidence base, showing where dual coding can be effective but also why careful implementation matters. It positions dual coding as a practical, inclusive, and research-led approach to making learning stick. Activities to consider adding (depending on time): Stop & Read (EEF Guidance) Embed a short reading task from the EEF’s Cognitive Science Approaches in the Classroom. Use this as a reflection point: “How might this apply to your subject?” Redesign an Extract Provide a block of dense text and ask participants to re-present it using dual coding principles (e.g., diagram, flow chart, storyboard). Dual Coding Methods Carousel Set up stations for different strategies (mind maps, annotated diagrams, infographics, sketch noting). Small groups rotate, creating quick examples. SEND Lens Activity Case study: show a complex concept. Ask groups how dual coding could reduce load for dyslexic or autistic learners. Really hope this helps. My teachers loved it!

This document is used for a child to reflect on their learning attitude, behaviour and emotional wellbeing throughout the school day. This document has proved invaluable in nurturing children with little to no self confidence in school! The child should mark, periodically, where they are on the 'smile scale' throughout the school day enabling supportive reflection 1:1 with a member of staff. I often use a variety of open questions to enable the children to open up and talk about their emotional wellbeing and reinforce the positive aspects of the school day but reminding them, 'It is okay to feel sad'. I welcome any questions and welcome all feedback.

This series of visual choice boards is designed to guide children through calm, structured reflection following periods of emotional dysregulation. Each board supports an emotion coaching conversation, helping the child to make sense of their experience and develop self-regulation skills in a supportive, non-judgmental way. The boards use visual prompts, symbols, and simple language to scaffold understanding and communication, making them accessible for children with a range of ages and communication abilities. The series aims to: Help children identify and name their emotions after moments of upset. Encourage reflection on what happened, including their actions, choices, and triggers. Support discussion around the impact of behaviour on themselves and others. Facilitate collaborative problem-solving to explore how to “fix” the problem, make amends, or choose different strategies next time. Reinforce emotional literacy, empathy, and accountability in a safe and supportive way. Each visual choice board focuses on a different stage of emotional reflection: ‘What were you feeling?’ – identifying the emotion(s) experienced. ‘What caused it?’ - – sequencing the events or triggers. ‘What happened?’ – reflecting on actions or choices. ‘Who has been affected?’ – understanding consequences and impact. ‘What are you feeling now?’ - identifying the current emotion(s). ‘How can we fix it?’ – exploring solutions, repairs, or next steps. ‘Next time I could…’ – choosing new strategies or calming tools for future success. Intended Use: These boards are designed for use by teachers, support staff, therapists, or parents as part of a restorative and relationship-based approach to behaviour. They can be used 1:1 after a child has returned to a calm state, promoting connection, reflection, and growth rather than punishment.

This is a thinking/reflection sheet to be used after a behavioural incident has occurred. Use this to help the child reflect on what happened, how they were feeling when the incident happened, and what they can do next time to change their behaviour and the outcome. This resource creates an opportunity to use restorative practice instead of a punitive response. The think sheet provides evidence to show parents, SLT or external agencies and helps to build up a picture of behavioral triggers and patterns.

These sheets (student reflection and plenary statement prompts) include a space to write the learning objective at the top, the keywords, and do an emotions check before the lesson begins. At the end of the lesson they can then refer back to their sheet, assess their confidence in their learning objective and use the statement prompts sheet to pick 3 statements to review and reflect on their learning and attitude as a consistent mini-plenary. I created and found them very useful for assessment for learning, marking, data and evidence.
