Fantastic Day 1 with teachers in Tirana, Albania exploring Active Learning in Science. Mix of content (friction, speed, materials, evolution …) + skills (collaboration, creativity, communication, innovation, TWS …) =very successful day 😊Cambridge University Press & Assessment

I might be mid holiday in Mooloolaba. Australia, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to teach a pattern lesson to Y2 children and squeeze in a staff meeting on pattern 😁 #powerofpattern

If there is only one interview to watch, it is this one. Anne Watson and John Mason discuss their lasting truths about mathematics teaching. I won't revel any spoilers - watch it for yourselves! https://t.co/EsgXleeo1I #thereislightattheendoftherainbow

From Billund to Amman - what a contrast!
