Storage
Learning needs to be stored in the long-term memory which involves Practising Deliberately.
• Classwork• Homework • Practice • Revision• Quizzing• Reading
3 Barriers To Effective Storage
1. Distractions from mobile phones and Social Media or gaming (Xbox/ Playstation)
2. Ineffective use of time 3. Poor homework habits
Deliberate Or Non-Deliberate Practice?

Not All Practice Is Equal
Practice that works, practice that builds strong neural connections is practice that challenges.
The Hard Stuff.
Eyes WaterMuscles Ache
Brain Hurts
Adults look at their smartphones every 12 minutes
• Twenty-four hour social media 'link to teenage anxiety’
• 45% of young people are checking their mobile phones after they have gone to bed
• More teenagers 'addicted' to computer games
• Children spend six hours or more a day on screens
• Computer time is modern parents' bribe and threat
Mobile phones, Social Media and Gaming are distractions that take time and attention away from deliberate practice.
Habits and behaviours are unhelpful and harmful.
Establish a new routine.
Discipline.
1. Smarter smartphone habits
Break workload into small, achievable chunks.
1. Time is the most precious resource, make it count2. Make a plan of how time will be used each evening3. Plan for nightly homework and revision4. Plan for breaks5. Plan for social time6. Make a plan for how time will be used each weekend and holiday7. Be realistic and make the plan achievable 8. Agree on expectations: habits and routines
2. Effective use of time
Available on FireFly
https://wilmslowhigh.fireflycloud.net/key-stage-3-and-4/advice-about-effective-revision-and-learning
The impact of homework on learning is consistently positive, it leads to 5 months additional
progress.
3. Effective homework habits
Quality Learning Time
The Learning Gap between students who do...• Effective homework• Wider Curriculum activities• Extra classes
... And those who don’t
Homework provides opportunities to:
1. Overlearn2. Practice3. Pre-learn4. Test5. Develop automaticity
Learning in the home makes the greatest difference to student
achievement
1. Actively engage: be interested, ask questions2. Know the difference between looking at a book and cognitive
engagement3. Quiz and test: provide opportunities to practise retrieval4. Model the desired discipline, behaviours and attitudes5. Be informed and knowledgeable: use FireFly and communicate
with teachers
Parents
1. Designated work space: well lit and no distractions 2. Allow for space and breaks 3. Brain food and plenty of water 4. Well organised resources and equipment, no wasted time 5. Available adult to supervise, acknowledge effort, praise and
reward6. No mobile phones or gaming devices7. Activity/ exercise
