@helenrey@greg_ashman Which then opens up the question, ‘How do we measure if the students have achieved the goal?’ Which in turn opens up the question, ‘What teaching methods are most effective in supporting students to reach the goal?’
@SamStrickers181@TTRadioOfficial Subject knowledge and subject specific disciplinary skills - e.g. chronology, cause and consequence, interpretation, source analysis, empathy in History. This is a whole missing layer for the whole school approach
@HeatherBellaF@amanda_spielman My daughter uses numbers 1 and 10 and they have made a positive difference for her. Anecdotal I know, but still it matters for her.
@PCSnow1604 If asocial learning is biologically rooted as the author claims then it has nothing to do with class - a very recent phenomenon. Moreover, the costs of not developing asocial learning is loss of innovation, productivity and therefore overall wealth
The last uncontacted tribe in South America outside the Amazon is holding out in an ever-shrinking island of forest, as bulldozers clearing land for cattle ranchers rapidly close in on them. Please email the Paraguayan authorities, urging them to act now. https://t.co/iHRzmdhPhY
@adamboxer1 Do you think that, say 20 percent of your original model and 80 percent of what you do now would be the most effective way or do you think that 100 percent of what you do now is the better option for every learner?
@daisychristo The 1987 candidates were in a race - only 10 percent would get an A due to norm referencing. Given there was no spec or mark scheme they researched and practiced to provide the most original and impressive answer to an open ended question. Now - rehearsal short questions criteria
@daisychristo An A grade at A level in 1987 was awarded to the top 10 percent of the 15 percent of the population who sat the exam, so top 1.5 percent of the population. Today around 14 percent of the population achieve A star or A, pretty much everyone who would have done A levels
@adamboxer1@robin_macp@lamb_heart_tea You are right. The slide is also cruel because when teaching Y11 in a mixed ability class with exams around the corner what you plan for the pupil whose scores suggest a three or four and one whose scores suggest an eight or nine, may differ
@helenrey If people think of their classrooms as boutiques they do query everything they bring in as they refresh. If people want systemic change they look for the Next Big Thing.
@dylanwiliam@New_Old_Paul@OECDEduSkills@SchleicherOECD I agree. I trained as a History teacher at the IOE and the Schools History Project materials were fascinating. They inspired me to start a PhD about rational reconstruction/ empathy/ perspective taking. Subject specific and classroom specific are the foundations of good teaching
