🧵 on making school a compelling place to be:

I rarely speak about the fact that I was a school refuser. I found it difficult to attend for many reasons, that, given the opportunity, I opted out of doing so.

Very excited to be involved in this documentary. Watch this space. I am a strong advocate for concrete examples to analyse & learn from. This documentary is all about that.

More useful apps - the language in the categories is a bit awkward but you find the name of the apps. The hyperlinks don't work but you can find them through https://t.co/ND4bVLE7fp or google.

"All year, I have been collecting coaching questions that I have overheard coaches use in practice. Here are all 29 in a handy graphic."

Here's a back-to-school gift from fellow leader @TheRealLindsay2:

It's that time of year again where I start to see people's school improvement plans for next year. If you are looking looking at metacognition, oracy, turn and talk, literacy, trauma informed practice or bits of individual theory from cognitive science, I'm not saying these things are a waste of time, but there's a need to prioritise.

Whatever it is you are spending your summer planning, I'd consider checking the list below first, if all those things are sorted in your school then go for it, but if they aren't I'd suggest they are prioritised.

Calm, orderly, predictable classrooms across the school.

Calling out does not occur.

Teachers are consistently putting students' names at the end of questions.

Teachers have "rules of thumb" for which students they ask questions to and when.

There are always checks for understanding in-between explanation and practice.

Checks for understanding in the majority of subject are delivered using miniwhiteboards.

Miniwhiteboards are used with "hover and show" routines.

Students are in the room and learning (i.e. actually doing something academically meaningful) extremely quickly at the start of lessons.

Departments have long-term memory strategies that map out how teachers give students the retrieval practice they need.

As above, once that stuff is in play, go to town. But if it isn't, it's probably where you should focus.

[Adam Boxer @adamboxer1]

Ok so I was initially quite worried about the Curriculum and Assessment review, but this is great. Nuanced, sensible, robust, respectful and reasonable.
