Progression pedagogy - Seasonal Change - Year 1

The educational framework for teaching Year 1 students about seasonal change is designed to enhance their ability to know and remember more about the topic. This framework employs a structured approach known as 'link it, learn it, check it, show it and know it', which is spread across different stages of the learning process. Initially, before the learning begins, connections are made to prior knowledge, setting the stage for new information to be introduced and assimilated.

During the learning phase, students are actively engaged with the new content about how seasons change, with teaching methods tailored to facilitate understanding and retention. At the end of the learning session, there is a 'check it' stage to assess the students' comprehension and to reinforce the material covered. Following this, the 'show it' phase allows students to demonstrate their learning, ensuring the information is embedded. Finally, the 'know it' stage occurs after the learning, where students can recall and apply their knowledge about seasonal changes confidently. This progression pedagogy is part of a comprehensive system detailed in the 'Five stages of learning and remembering' document provided by Focus Education (UK) Ltd.
