This is a genuinely awesome opportunity. Hugely popular subjects at A-level & progress score of 0.6+ at KS4. Supportive dept packed with experience. Dedicated classrooms with laptop facilities. Ripe for someone to take to next level (and what a location!)

If I had to sum up the crucial idea of learning as a cumulative process of forgetting and remembering and in one sentence, it would be this: "the act of retrieval is itself a potent learning event." (Bjork, Bjork 1992)

Retrieval practice isn't about testing whether someone has learned something, it's actually a vital part of the learning.

In other words, learning doesn't happen in a single lesson or episode where the teacher has "covered" the content. It happens over repeated episodes where we encounter, forget, retrieve, associate and consolidate that knowledge.

This process doesn't fit neatly into the boundary of a lesson unit which is why asking teachers to 'show learning in a lesson' is so misguided. What you're seeing is merely the briefest glimmer of learning which might lead to actual learning but which depends greatly on what happens next.

College graduation speeches are often evergreen. They can be given at any time, similar from decade to decade.

Which is why Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker’s “How To Spot An Idiot” at Northwestern’s graduation is so genius.

It is the speech for TODAY

If you ever wanted to showcase the relevance of economics to prospective A-level students, then the Business page on the BBC news site this morning would take some beating! #economics

A tiring and eventful trip to Davos this week, but totally worth it to be able see our incredible students take to the snow (many for the first time!) Well done to @Mr_Dan_Hill for his leadership, and thanks to the rest of the team 🙏⛷

Thank you to the legend that is @econplusdal for putting on a two day workshop for the sixth form students in the locality. 🙏 Your enthusiasm for the subject is inspiring!

I had no money growing up. My dad was a labourer and my mum did everything to make ends meet. Men worked hard. Women worked miracles. But education was free. As was the local library. I knew books were my passport to a better life. #SupportLibraries

If an economy grows on average at 3% incomes double every 24 years, at 2% it’s every 36 years and at 1% it’s every 72 years. The UK’s trend rate of economic growth is falling towards 1%. In the time it takes UK incomes to double other countries will have had an 8 fold increase.
