@CraigBid@dylanwiliam@C_Hendrick When I was teaching 1988-2003 we used targeted questioning - similar but also different: much more about pedagogical design, intent, dialogic and inclusive.
The difference really isn't that big. Setting really should not have been vilified as it has been (if done fair with mobility between sets) but now presenting it as much, much better, also seems a bit exaggerated.
Interesting study of ability grouping in maths suggesting small positive effects overall, slightly larger positive effects for high attainers, and no effect for low attainers. https://t.co/KCwY0XWFPa

@dylanwiliam@cpaterso@mathillustrated Wasn’t that the motivation behind Ireland’s uni bonus points policy - to incentivise the study of mathematics for all?
@miss_mcinerney@michael_merrick Dad used to leave his fag on side of sink at end of night shift when washing. I’d often end up with nicotine and smell on my hands when using the bathroom. Spent my childhood breathing smoke. I do have a moral perspective in terms of others’ right to a clean environment.
Thanks @suttontrust for this report. Time to act @educationgovuk? Time to support those schools doing the right things for their community and the wider system? Time to compare the intake of next door schs and ask why are they so different? What leadership choices have been made?
📉1 in 3 teacher training providers are under significant financial pressure, with the majority unable to suffer a recruitment shortfall or funding change w/o impacting delivery.
Excl on the challenges facing orgs indispensable for teacher recruitment.

This is a worrying lack of understanding of the issue. It’s not a question of burden it’s one of atrophy and ceding agency to AI. See our open access editorial here https://t.co/wPyieSHWuy
@Helen_Amass As a primary teacher I tried to communicate the value of all the subjects I taught to all students, pleasure being one of those values. Not always successfully of course. Isn’t this just one of the joys and frustrations of the job?
@jon_severs Not been pushed. But superficially used as a foil whilst practices detrimental to developing children’s understanding of the intrinsic value of reading in their lives have dominated.
A thread from me on today's @tes article on reading for pleasure. Just because 'pleasure' is hard to define or mandate for, & much in modern life militates against it, doesn't mean we should abandon the idea of encouraging volitional, independent reading habits in young people.
