I know I sound like a broken record, but I share this with teachers at the start of every term. Some of our kids have such chaotic lives, a week can feel like a lifetime away to them, so these things need to be returned to...https://t.co/lIKSyGMdV3

@BradleyKBusch @Inner_Drive Yes please

I've seen a fair few people suggest recently that the 'science of reading' can essentially be boiled down to two messages:

1. Explicitly teach kids to decode (i.e. systematic phonics).

2. Build knowledge.

But in many schools, these two things alone will fail.

Terrific essay by @rpondiscio, arguing we should "realign incentives so that stability and execution are valued as forms of leadership. That means treating implementation fidelity as an achievement, not an afterthought, and creating political and institutional cover for leaders who choose continuity over novelty." https://t.co/OE2zf3koU5

Love this guide - reassuring to see that much of it aligns with what we’ve been focusing on as a school this year 🙌🏻

✅ CHECKING FOR UNDERSTANDING! This guide dives into the heartbeat of responsive teaching. CFU is crucial for making the invisible visible and capturing data needed to adapt teaching in real time.

All the Heads I know are on their knees, seeing children presenting with more complex needs than ever before, extreme behaviour and limited funding.
The majority of this is in EYFS and Year 1. So instead of announcing something to help this, we'll raise a target to add pressure.

Are rewards good or bad for learning?

Well, it depends. To understand why, we need to dive into the 2 main sources of motivation: intrinsic and extrinsic.

@TeachingYear6 Tell him it’s (supposedly) third highest amount of pubs per 10 square mile in England 🍺

[Josh Young @MrYoungPrimary]

@TeachingYear6 Aw nice! I’ve never been there, looks lovely though 🙌🏻

I love it here for the beer gardens mostly 😂

[Josh Young @MrYoungPrimary]

@TeachingYear6 Charles Darwin library, where he went to school I think, also in the centre.

But yeah I really recommend going on the Sabrina Boat tour. Lots of information and some amazing views.

Welcome to the Town of Flowers 😎

[Josh Young @MrYoungPrimary]

@TeachingYear6 If you haven’t been already, The Boathouse is quite nice for a cider (though a bit dear). The Armoury is good for food. Lots of independent shops on The Cop - though it looks like you walked up that way anyway.

If you have time, call The Sabrina boat tour!

Fidelity has been the buzzword of the past year, but strict prescription of teaching can have many downsides alongside the many positives, argues @jon_hutchinson_, who asks: how much autonomy should teachers have?
