At TTA for the bulk of our verbal questioning we use a form of Cold Call that involves a) putting the name at the end of the question, and b) targeting specific students. So NOT hands up, NOT calling out, and NOT at random.

How do we target? Based on what?

In the most basic terms, reading lessons involve a mixture of reading text and responding to it (i.e. discussing text or producing written responses).

And I think that in many (if not most) primary schools the balance between these two things is *way* off.

@Ajcurr I’ll be interested to see our first set of results compared to national.

[Daisy Christodoulou @daisychristo]

We’ve just sent out the results of our September 2020 Year 7 writing assessment to school. Key findings: Year 7s are 22 months behind where we’d expect them to be at this time in the year.

@brassoteach 22 miles on my own, 20 miles in a race prior to the marathon. That run taught me I needed to refuel properly- a couple of jelly babies were not enough!

I was asked to write an article for @BBC_Teach about the importance of creating a positive reading culture in schools.

@RMcClsky this is a great idea, maybe something we could look at doing.
