youtu.be/v2QYH3I4gCU?si=nMO4… So impressed with the #courage and #eloquence of these two @PriorPark students who spoke in Friday's #neurodiversity assembly. They were passionate advocates for the type of education that we offer here at Prior Park - truly #inclusive and #caring.

I only just got round to this, but it's excellent. Raises some serious questions for me. I'm not in leadership anymore, but work with a lot of leaders, and I've felt that dip in performance personally. A short term drop can lead to long term performance. Very thought provoking.

Sometimes it *is* what you do not (just) the way that you do it. Glad I teach Physics though, extra practice/assessment is easier to implement than extra and better peer interaction.
How does time spent in direction instruction vs peer interaction vs practice/assessment impact learning? And does the answer differ by subject? @profsimonb et al analysed the performance and data from 250+ teachers to answer these Qs. Here's what they found: ↓
I did some work with MAT-wide SLT today on how to improve Teaching and Learning. One of the big themes was about designing T&L programmes around actual needs, rather than cool and trendy things. What do I mean by this? >

Only took 8 years to get to a sensible place on differentiation. So glad that @Ofstednews has smashed through the nonsense around differentiation.

I want more teachers to see this: (ft. Twice Exceptional) youtu.be/qa5v1a2H-xs #education #SEND #2e Annoyed with a 'slippery' smart pupil? Assume incompetence before malice. Some pupils will never get assessed, forever almost muddling through (or not).

I worry about the 56%. For me a test is the best option because: - we aren't able to see our own blind spots/biases - most of us see ourselves as above average (@TeacherTapp had some stats on that too) - GCSE/A-level predictions are notoriously inaccurate

At home with COVID and just supervised my eldest on a Punctuation & Grammar assessment. Made me wonder if there's a TTRockstars style app for it? #PrimaryEnglish Don't get me wrong, he did fine - just not as well as if COVID never happened.

Should add, I think his teacher is awesome so absolutely not knocking the school or the staff. But COVID...
Pick the chapter(s) and get a variety of questions, great retrieval practice/do now.
