This research from @john_hattie is insane -- it basically says that students who have high expectations of themselves learn more than 3 times as much as students who don't!!

With an effect size of 1.33 we should all be making this a priority in our schools...

Planning a remote lesson for tomorrow and got so many ideas to try, but also reminding myself small changes done well are better than trying everything at once.
There's a risk trying lots of unfamiliar things at once in an already unfamiliar format will overload pupils and us.
