We are finding this cycle to be useful way of framing evidence-informed improvement. I've seen it used to help a single pupil, regional policy making and everything in between...

A wonderful moment yesterday: sitting in the Abbey debating with members of the congregation whether it would have been marginally better for the equation on Stephen's memorial stone to be S = A k c^3 / 4G(hbar) rather than T = (hbar)c^3/8(pi)GMk . And that's why I love physics. https://t.co/6zuwIR1sFT

Across a range of languages, speakers tend to pronounce nouns more slowly than verbs, perhaps because, although the latter tend to be more linguistically complex, the former require more planning: https://t.co/Jmlt4bziqJ

I like this, especially the metacognitive dimension... https://t.co/t2B5Pmb7fe

This is so tiresome. It’s not as if teachers are racking up bills for their personal use. And don’t start on the textbook line: teach a 6-period day in 6 different classrooms, & come back to me. https://t.co/TtYDbeZFIb

What's the alternative to generic cross-curricular "themes" in the curriculum? Multi-disciplinary tasks in which the specific ways in which different disciplines create knowledge are honoured and developed (from Oliver Knight): https://t.co/fIDG7Nqvfa

Not quite as obvious as it seems: Teaching reading and increasing students’ interaction with words or text, either through reading or observing others read, all enhance writing performance: https://t.co/ynXwW1WFiH ($)

A new OECD report on "Valuing our teachers and raising their status" turns out to be rather less than the sum of its parts: https://t.co/Sk0uf9YqP1
