New 'Voices From The Classroom' on using worked examples

In this ​“Voices From The Classroom” video, Dr Helen Skelton, Head of Science at Beaumont School, St Albans, explains how she has used worked examples, faded examples and self-explanation to help her pupils move towards more independent problem solving.

The FAME approach (which includes fading and explanation) provides four simple strategies to help maximise the effectiveness of worked examples by supporting pupils with managing cognitive load and developing their metacognitive thinking.
