@smithsmm I’ll go to my grave believing that children writing objectives is a waste of time.

[Geoff and Margaret @RetirementTales]

The Geoff and Margaret Reading Scheme

Book 1

This is Margaret.

Margaret is a long word.

Margaret is short.

This is Geoff.

Geoff is a tricky word.

Geoff is old.

Old is a VCC word.

Margaret is at home.

Geoff is at home too!

Home has a split digraph.

Or is it magic e?

I have managed to train myself out of using the words 'able' and 'ability' and into using the word 'attainment'. I think this really helps in encouraging a more inclusive attitude. It now really jars for me when I see educators discussing 'ability'.

[Pie Corbett @PieCorbett]

@jon_severs @heymrshallahan This is spot on - schools need a few people around who know the patch, have seen the fads come and go, can hold a steady course and are there to support younger staff because early teaching days are tough.

@Iberia Al recibir este correo, cualquier pensará que todo bien, ¿verdad? ¿o soy yo?

[Tracey Chapelton @TraceyChapelton]

De momento @Iberia me ha cobrado 5000€ para 2 billetes ida y vuelta Madrid-Melbourne pero no encuentran la reserva y no me ofrecen una solución - esperar una respuesta desde atención al cliente hasta 7 días laborales no es una atención adecuada dada la situación.

[Tracey Chapelton @TraceyChapelton]

@Iberia La respuesta que me habéis facilitado: "está cancelada por no pago, por lo que el importe es una retención, por lo que no tiene billetes en esta reserva" no coincide con el correo que he recibido ayer. Algo en vuestro sistema falla.

@Iberia Acabo de mandar toda la información por DM. Gracias.

Very important to remember that #EYFS is almost entirely a non compulsory phase and children do not have to be there. Centering our practice around the children's happiness and their right to play is an ethical imperative. #values

@AaronTeamEC @Alisonmoore63 A plea: Please don't expect staff to have pre-printed, laminated sheets asking, "Can you make a ...?" and a picture of something you expect them to make. That won't support the EAD educational programme, or the child's creative development. It's ok to let them play and explore!

[Pie Corbett @PieCorbett]

@smithsmm The most important research is looking at and trying to work out what works in schools - visiting effective schools to see what they do - it is often complex and most so-called sanctified 'research' cannot take account of all the strands and variables so is often reductive.

[Andrew John Davis @ded6ajd]

@Sue_Cowley Ausubel: 'If I had to reduce all of educational psychology to just one principle I would say: The most important single factor influencing learning is what a learner already knows. Ascertain this and teach him (or her) accordingly.'

If true, standardised lesson formats are out.
