# Rosenshine's 6-10

CPD: Cognitive Science Level 1, topic 4.1.2

## Rosenshine's Principles of Instruction 6-8

Here are another 3 of Rosenshine's Principles.

### Principle 6

![Principle 6](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/9e172e32-d751-475c-9afa-30efb666031d/ok-tick-yes-check-.png)

- Check for understanding.
- Constant checking is important to catch misconceptions before they harm learning. It also helps teachers notice if parts of the content need reteaching.
- Rosenshine suggests that teachers ask direct questions, instead of asking students if they have questions and assuming that silence means full understanding of the topic.

### Principle 7

- Obtain a high success rate.
- This principle relates to making sure all students have mastered the current set of lessons before moving on to the next one. It involves checking for misconceptions and asking questions.

### 8. Provide scaffolds in difficult tasks

- When students are completing a hard task, the intrinsic working memory load is high. Because of that, it is important to provide temporary instructional support. 
- These scaffolds can be gradually removed as pupils advance in their understanding and fluency on a topic.
- Rosenshine suggests using cue cards, checklists, worked examples and models as scaffolding. 
- Teachers can also anticipate students’ errors and warn them about them beforehand.

## Rosenshine's Principles of Instruction 9-10

Here are the last 2 principles shared by Rosenshine.

### Principle 9

![Principle 9](https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2014/10/18/07/08/shield-492989__340.jpg)

- Stimulate and monitor independent practice.
- Independent practice should be used after guided practice. That is, when students are already very competent in a topic, they can practice independently in order to become fluent and retrieve information automatically. 
 - Rosenshine calls this process “overlearning”.
- Independent practice should cover the same topic covered in guided practice as students need to be fully prepared for it.

### Principle 10

![Principle 10](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/courseImages/biology/5.3.3%20Hormones%20in%20reproduction/calendar-reset.jpg)

- Conduct weekly and monthly review.
- Similar to Principle 1, Rosenshine advocates for a frequent review of previously learned material in order to help students reconsolidate information and create stronger connections.
