Grounded in Cognitive Load Theory and the science of learning, this webinar unpacks how to design explanations that work with the architecture of the mind ,not against it. You’ll learn how to reduce overload, sharpen clarity, and move learning from working memory into long-term memory.<h3 id="f71a7513-e683-4132-9df0-218c85cd2e71" data-toc-id="f71a7513-e683-4132-9df0-218c85cd2e71" style="font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.2;">In this session, you’ll explore:</h3><ul><li>What precise explanation really means (and what it isn’t)</li><li>Why explanation sits at the heart of effective explicit instruction</li><li>How poor explanations overload working memory</li><li>The difference between intrinsic and extraneous cognitive load</li><li>Why clarity, sequencing and economy of language matter</li></ul>Drawing on the work of Sweller, Kirschner, Clark, Ros Atkins, Zach Groshell, Andy Tharby and Dan Willingham, we’ll translate research into practical classroom moves to improve your teacher talk.<h3 id="aeeff461-d478-4c6e-9372-8a24a5a9fff7" data-toc-id="aeeff461-d478-4c6e-9372-8a24a5a9fff7" style="font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.2;">You’ll leave with practical strategies you can use immediately:</h3>✔️ Breaking complex ideas into coherent, teachable chunks ✔️ Funnelling student attention through language, gesture and visuals ✔️ Using worked examples and modelling deliberately ✔️ Designing diagrams that clarify rather than clutter ✔️ Using analogies and storytelling with precision ✔️ Knowing when to pause, capture, check and stop talkingThis isn’t about performance.
