@helenrey @MMonguillot @PenaililloArce @SoLInTheWild Worked examples fail when the steps are removed & have to be held in memory. That's why I think Fred Jones' video is superb — "a picture for every step". See https://t.co/54bdRzFC5S

What are the three biggest changes in education over the last ten years, and what are the three biggest changes to come over the next ten years?

There is nobody better in the sector to ask than @miss_mcinerney!

Brilliant episode, please share if poss

Retrieval practice goes wrong when it becomes a ritual for teachers to perform.
The aim isn’t five questions at the start of every lesson. It’s making knowledge available when it’s needed: recalled successfully, used purposefully, corrected visibly, and strengthened for elsewhere and later.

Superb day at Long Bay College for #rEDNZ listening to Dr Michael Johnston from @nzinitiative

A timely reminder that A Little Guide for Teachers: Cognitive Load Theory is available at all good online booksellers. So are my other two books, The Truth About Teaching and The Power of Explicit Teaching and Direct Instruction.

I am currently finishing a new book, How to Improve a School and I will let you know when that is available to order.

I'm sure these are all lovely people writing the new science curriculum, but...well...what's missing?

As I've said before, if you aren't going to be delivering the curriculum to bottom set year 11, you shouldn't be the one responsible for writing it. No skin in the game.

A great talk on lethal mutations by @MrARobbins at #rEDOxford

@C_Hendrick @ModernCassie Gonna go out on a limb and be that annoying person who asks whether you'd like to read something that at first seems tangentially related to the point. If you've got five minutes... https://t.co/Mv6gg2MjdB

@PepsMccrea But the reference says this is false! It's even called 'the pen is mightier than the keyboard'!!

Very interesting new study on retrieval practice that helps answer some important questions about its use in the classroom.

@Hookean1 This is the best thing ever!

Needless to say, Fire & Fury is a deeply disturbing, brilliantly-researched and presented documentary. @paulapenfold and her team have made a film that will be studied decades ahead for its capturing of the disinformation epidemic at this moment.

This looks like Theranos level fraud. The last 16 years of Alzheimer’s research looks to have been built on deliberately falsified data.

It’s why Alzheimer’s drugs have a 99% failure rate in trials. The thing they’re trying to fix isn’t the problem.
