We've published the first blog in our series on feedback.

One question that prompted it was this: if feedback is so important, why do pupils sometimes ignore it?

The article explores motivation, self-determination theory, and the idea of 'proactive recipience'.

Everyone must be thinking to be learning - but what are they thinking *with*? https://t.co/1di7zyknbr via @teacherhead

One of the most popular features of the new TEACHING POWERUPS membership platform are the Reflective Frameworks👇

These are designed to help teachers and teams pinpoint specific aspects of teaching to focus on developing, linked to techniques, and support coaching conversations, for example, after an observed lesson.

🚨NEW POST 🚨

‘Literacy and Key Stage 3 success’

“Strengthening foundational skills' is a laudable aim, and KS3 is a necessary and valuable time to do so, but implementing it effectively will take sustained support and concrete actions.”

[Bradford Research School @BradResearchSch]

The social model of disability encourages us to look beyond the individual and examine the barriers around them.

If a pupil is struggling to access learning, belonging, or participation, how much of that challenge sits within the pupil, and how much sits within the environment we've created around them? https://t.co/3rYbZEwfg5

💡 NEW POST 💡

“Literacy and Key Stage 3 Success’

“Without secure literacy foundations, academic success is denied long before GCSE examinations or intensive interventions begin.”

Use a combination of teacher read aloud, student silent reading and, probably most important, shared oral reading, what we call FASE reading in our book.

🎧 @greg_ashman and I have got your Friday morning commute sorted with a new ep dropping early tomorrow.

Expect talk about “NEUROSCIENCE!”, cognitive load theory, information theory & attainment grouping. I even slide in a defense of PPT. Listen on your favourite podcast app 🎙️

@Keir_Starmer @UKLabour I only wish you could be bold and loud for the citizens of Palestine and Lebanon. Sigh 😞

[Carl Hendrick @C_Hendrick]

A school that adopts retrieval practice without understanding the testing effect has not adopted retrieval practice, it has adopted a quiz. Understanding the underlying theory underpinning any strategy is absolutely key to avoiding lethal mutations.

I will be talking about the importance of a shared understanding of how learning happens and how leaders need to lead on this. Honoured to be giving a keynote at the Victorian Government Schools Principals Conference today.

Yep this sooooo me and my current thinking 🤔

2021: No salary increase
2022: No salary increase
2023: No salary increase
2024: No salary increase
2025: No salary increase

2026:
Employee: “Kindly accept my resignation.”

Boss: “But you’re doing such a great job! Why are you leaving?”

Employee: “I’ve received a new job offer with a 65% salary increase, and there’s also a guaranteed annual raise based on performance.”
