I have co-authored another article with @dylanwiliam published with @ASCD our tips & advice for getting “Think-Pair-Share” right in the classroom https://t.co/igVrNQ8be5

@PaynesMeToSay @sefeil @dylanwiliam @ParkerPhonics Thanks Dylan. Have just started thinking about writing about literacy with a big focus on reading and the importance of formative assessment in this process so this will be useful to read.

Fascinating short talk by @dylanwiliam on the differences between formative assessment and assessment for learning. https://t.co/5vwbsSVGFB

My 3rd article for the EU Assess@Learning project—on "Activating learners: as owners of their own learning, and as learning resources for one another"— is here:

Around this time, on September 30th, I will be presenting a workshop on "Embedding formative assessment" for the Knowledge Source Institute (KSI): https://t.co/OgqmvP0dwF

This is very timely. Really hope this causes schools to rethink one-size-fits-all, non-negotiable approach to implementing cog sci principles poorly.

Slides from my presentation on "When can you trust meta-analyses?" at the Festival of Education yesterday are available here: https://t.co/vcKfG90vVm

At the Supercar races at Hidden Valley. Awesome event.

@Aspeaky To be honest, I haven't read these since they came out. I am scanning all copies of journals that I have that are not available online just to save shelf space. I then thought that I might as well, depending on the copyright situation, make them available to others...

[Daniel Willingham @DTWillingham]

New data: growth mindset isn't enough. S's need to know what to do with the belief that they can get smarter, i.e. they need meta-cog skills ($) https://t.co/fcNyURmqOu

@dylanwiliam Interesting. Also to see where Australia sits. Always remember words from your presentations, ‘You are entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts.’

[Jane Leaker @JaneLeaker]

@dylanwiliam Thanks for sharing Dylan. Will pass on to colleagues.

Never shut the door on students; regardless of what poor choice they make.

There should always be another chance & there should always be room for redemption.

The worst response we can have is to close the door, lock it & throw away the key.

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

One of the best ways for schools to teach empathy, respect, inclusion and compassion, is to as adults, model these behaviors each and every day for our students.

It can be easy to forget, but our students are always watching.

Thrilled to get such a great review by @educationalappstore: "Makers Empire 3D is a great way to introduce 3D modelling and computer skills to children... Makers Empire 3D is by far one of the best 3D computer-aided design applications we have seen." https://t.co/H3NSY6AWbU
