Can’t remember who shared this absolute beauty of a paper on here! I just want to say thank you though, it was a belter of a Paper 2 to go through the day before the exam! 11/3 LOVED it! Another year done 🙌👍

[Adam Boxer @adamboxer1]

@Tom_does_maths Yes. I appreciate it takes time. Most schools lower their expectations (unconsciously) in ks5. We deliberately ramp them up with homework tests and detentions.

@LauraLolder The concept of what, how, why is fine. I’m talking about the way it’s being delivered which is the old, clunky, formulaic PEE. The point in what, how, why is that it’s meant to be flexible and fluid.

[Evidence Based Education @EvidenceInEdu]

Published in the Great Teaching Toolkit: Evidence Review, the Model for Great Teaching offers a curriculum for teachers’ professional learning.

It provides a common professional language and a shared structure for enabling Great Teaching.

It highlights 4 key areas:

1️⃣ Understanding the Content
2️⃣ Creating a Supportive Environment
3️⃣ Maximising Opportunity to Learn
4️⃣ Activating Hard Thinking

"Having words for important concepts enables community members to talk about them, think together and agree on their meaning, interrogate them for deeper understanding and gain collective clarity around related action and impact."

Language for learning leadership

✍️ "This is a tragedy for individuals, but also means our economy is missing out on a huge amount of potential talent."

The gap in attainment between richer and poorer pupils has lifelong implications - for both individuals and society.

It must be tackled ⤵️

Unpopular opinion:

In an era obsessed with “backward planning” and over-scaffolded lessons, all under the banner of “meeting students where they are,” much of what passes for effective teaching has become spoon-fed and feel-good.

Too often, we give students more support than they need—and in doing so, we rob them of productive struggle, resilience, and real learning.

‘Scaffolding has an important place, but only if it is provisional. Support should be carefully calibrated and then withdrawn as soon as possible.’

[David Didau @DavidDidau]

All children deserve good teaching. Some need it more than most. If support replaces thinking, it isn’t support.
Our aim must be independence.

If you don't teach writing under a visualiser, co-constructing, thinking out loud, and making mistakes, then you are not "teaching" writing.

New post: Are book looks a waste of time?

For some, they are a meaningless scourge. For others, they are a vital accountability lever that provides insight into the lived curriculum.
