important learners have as much support as possible and plenty of revision! #ukedchat @ukedchat perhaps blanket approach to prep,that of fail and youve lost,inhibits many learners.Better understanding of ind. needed? #ukedchat @ukedchat Often find when I cover this in HE that it's the first time students have encountered coping mechanisms #ukedchat Join 893 educators who have subscribed to the free #ukedchat bulletin with news & best posts on the hashtag. http://ukedchat.us7.listmanage1.com/subscribe? u=e97344da33f46a7dbb6f16fe4&id=ec47899e39 Pls RT @EA_Holmes @ukedchat what do you mean specifically by coping mechanisms - how can we teach these? #ukedchat Here are some good tips for students taking exams that can help them cope with the pressure and do well too http://ymestyn.co.uk/?p=191 #ukedchat Core of Education Chats N Parliament W/ Baroness Estelle Morris, Former Secretary of State 4 Ed n England http://buff.ly/1dJQV4j #UKedchat Exam pressure is one of the top causes of anxiety in young people say researchers #ukedchat RT @Primary_Ed: What Kids Need the Most From Teachers. pic.twitter.com/eEO5VfMaXL #ukedchat #edchat #sunchat #sltchat #edtech RT @DigitalLeaderUK: Don't forget to come and join in #DLchat at 9pm tonight after #ukedchat and share your digital leader news Plz RT Coping with failure & the ability to bounce back is key to success in life & school.

about SATs! @EA_Holmes @ukedchat is that too late? #ukedchat @urban_teacher not surprised! Students need to develop positive attitudes to preparation. Practice throughout the year is key! #ukedchat @HoDTeacher @EA_Holmes @ukedchat psychological techniques for calming and tips for avoiding anxiety? #ukedchat Definitely start young! @SwayGrantham so failure doesn't damage self belief & confidence #ukedchat @LPerformance I think you can start with this in primary e.g. Not viewing mistakes as failure, learning from it! #ukedchat @urban_teacher why are schools or the DfE not acting on this? #ukedchat It is difficult for schools to achieve the right amount if stress. Too little stress =no work. Too much means poor performance #ukedchat Anyone try visualisation? I love it! Take kids to the exam hall, lie down & close their eyes. Then visualise success! #ukedchat @MathsDirectory make study skills and effective revision techniques a frequent part of lessons! #ukedchat mind mapping, etc... @Ymestyn @urban_teacher practice enough? students loose key marks from missing simple things. Had 1+5=7 before... is this common? #ukedchat @SwayGrantham @LPerformance here here #ukedchat Looks like @ukedchat must have banned a few more than me which is why no one is doing it anymore. Quiet. #ukedchat YES! @Ymestyn @MathsDirectory This is what we do! http://www.learningperformance.com #makinglearningeasier #ukedchat The best coping mechanism is hard work completed in an organised fashion , and I think we all try to get pupils to do that #ukedchat @MathsDirectory @urban_teacher I think a lot of marks are lost because kids misunderstand/misread questions. Dev. literacy skills! #ukedchat @MathsDirectory @EA_Holmes @ukedchat what are they?? Would love to know myself! Any good sources?

#ukedchat @LPerformance @MathsDirectory we offer similar provision too and I think it is fundamental to becoming independent learners! #ukedchat Maybe students know they have far more to offer than what they are forced to write down in an hour? #ukedchat pic.twitter.com/1TiU8ki4tF Borrow ideas from sport: what makes good performance - sleep, diet, mindfulness, confidence & training etc. #UKedchat Engaging EAL students http://shar.es/Kc3NK #ukedchat Unfortunately exam factories hinders creavity and innovation in schools! #ukedchat #edchat So worried for my SEN students now Eng is even more exam-based.

and you combat this inhibition #ukedchat @tmeeky too true. As far ad I can see a realistic alternative doesn't exist. The exam system fails those learners #ukedchat You will find both my cheeks here. Washingborough Foundation stage today in Lincs. #ecis #ukedchat pic.twitter.com/g0E3g6ThSN RT @davowillz: The exam system fails those learners #ukedchat>> yes, but worse still it destroys their self esteem too Do Sweden have the answer? Their teachers tweak exam questions to best suit their students - to show their learning in best light #UKEdchat RT @WhiteDebs: too many pressures on young people #UKEdchat>> yes, kids should be playing more...We're forcing them to grow up too quickly @JamesJMatthews too true! #ukedchat @WhiteDebs its certainly a step in the right direction! #UKedchat but will some teachers abuse this? RT @davidhunter: reptilian brain and the like.seen that a few times in schools #ukedchat >> what do you mean Dave? @MathsDirectory #ukedchat - surely that is where professional trust comes from? Something often missing in Education? @WhiteDebs #ukedchat #Gove would really go for that one ! lol!

Shame on him #ukedchat @Dandan7171 #ukedchat quite agree- it would certainly help if the marking could be trusted or we knew what we would be prepping them for! @Dandan7171: @WhiteDebs #ukedchat #Gove would
