The activity fallacy: an obsession with instructional novelty has produced a strange inversion of priorities. Teachers are sent on courses to acquire new “strategies,” to diversify their repertoire of techniques.
Meanwhile, the curriculum they are teaching may be completely incoherent, the sequence arbitrary, the assessment disconnected from both. This is what @Counsell_C calls an “intransitive pedagogy”; a pedagogy without an object.

@C_Hendrick Here's a slice of text from #OpeningWorlds Year 6 Spring 1 history. Words in bold are taught this lesson. Every other word you see which is tricky has been taught thoroughly in Years 3, 4 or 5. We write texts in order to deliberately meet those words again, again and again.

Outstanding talk by Michael Fordham, principal at @ThetfordAcaduk on role of curriculum in school improvement. Beware trying to take assurance from subject leaders using generic criteria, instead of listening to distinctive structures, rhythms & roles of subjects. #TransformEd
