A thread:

Just read the @Ofstednews research review into maths. As expected, it’s an excellent report.

I’m really proud of our maths at GM and the report confirms a lot of what we do as strong practice. However schools should always be looking to improve...

"When the curriculum’s too full, you have to make a professional decision about what stuff you’re going to leave out, and the important point here is that not all content is equally important” How do we make an informed professional decision?

Deci and Ryan's self-determination theory proposes that
motivation is predicted by autonomy, relatedness and competence. A study of >30k college students finds competence is dominant with a weak effect for autonomy, and none for relatedness: https://t.co/JfTN82FwlX ($)

I'm unreasonably proud that @DrSamSims's and my article on how we can identify characteristics of effective professional development has been published in School Effectiveness and School Improvement. https://t.co/9ypjo9DPXs

How about be aware of what children have missed but *don't put that front and center*. When kids return don't make them feel broken and lacking; express joy that we're together, celebrate what they've learned since you saw one another. But keep in mind where you want them to go.
