Modelling

At St Helen's Modelling practices look like:

• Executive Functioning focus on Sophia the Sloth
• Demonstrate tasks step-by-step, verbalising thinking and reasoning
• Use think-aloud to make cognitive processes visible – metacognitive talk
• Provide multiple examples to illustrate variation and nuance
• Gradually release responsibility: “I do, we do, you do”
• Highlight common misconceptions and correct approaches
• Encourage pupils to practice while observing the model
• Model worked examples
• Deliberate vocabulary development
• Abstract model with concrete example
• Scaffolding and leading to taking the scaffold down
