Join us for an online practical session on explicit instruction and dual coding – delegates will see real classroom examples and leave with a toolkit of strategies to weave visuals into their own curriculum planning and everyday teaching!
Pairing clear explanations with purposeful visuals is a proven way to deepen understanding and help pupils remember what they learn. This practical session unpacks the principles of dual coding and shows how to use images, diagrams and carefully chosen words to reduce cognitive load and strengthen memory.
Learning outcomes:
- Understand the research behind dual coding and why pairing words with visuals improves retention
- Examine practical classroom examples of dual coding in a range of subjects and phases
- Identify clear steps to embed these strategies within their own curriculum design and lesson planning.
