'Reading clusters to build language'

Books build far more than reading skill alone. The build schema that helps meaning & learning stick.

“Feedback should be more work for the recipient than the donor.” @dylanwiliam

A point usually lost in education. If there’s no opportunity to respond to the feedback, what was the point of giving it in the first place?

Okay, time for our next thread on the ‘Power and Conflict’ poems. This time, we’ll be talking about Robert Browning’s ‘My Last Duchess’ 🖼️ 🤴

In particular, I want to think about power in terms of the ability to control where people are looking 👀

[Jon Severs @jon_severs]

The growth in Andrew Tate-related issues in schools has been really worrying to see, and some of the detail in this @mr_englishteach piece is so sad to read.

Some really practical advice from Mark and those interviewed to try and tackle the issue.

I love public libraries because they are built on the principle that books are so important and so necessary to human flourishing that access to them cannot depend on your income.
