@Barker_J @Mr_Raichura @lucy_crehan @dylanwiliam @Doug_Lemov When multiple teachers use the same routines (cues + sequences of actions) across different classrooms, the effect is even stronger and achieved more quickly.

This is one of the reasons why alignment is such a superpower in school.

And THAT, kids, is why you keep writing until the exam is over.

[Matt Davies @MathsMrD]

SWEETS!

Great to finish the HT yesterday celebrating together the hard work that staff and students have already put in over the exam season.

[Gloucester Academy @GloucsAcademy]

Excited to see our Year 11s bright and early tomorrow morning for a fantastic day including History Drop Downs, Period 6 Boosters for Maths, a Prom Draw with a free ticket and a surprise treat… What will it be!?

A great buzz after the English exam this morning! Incredible to see students (and the English depts!) hard work pay off.

A great thread of the 'how' behind the exam season @GloucsAcademy @GreenshawTrust. Really proud and excited to see the hard work of students and staff pay dividends over the next few weeks.

[Laura Webb @LauraLolder]

Exam season is upon us! I am in my third school and thought I would share some of the things the school does at a systems level to really improve student outcomes, and also alleviate the pressure for middle leaders and teachers.
A quick thread of things that work 🧵 1/-

[Peps @PepsMccrea]

First up, expertise matters.

The most expert teachers help their students to learn at multiple times the rate of the least expert.

Improving teaching is the biggest lever we have for improving the learning and life chances of the young people in our care.

🧵It was a joy to be a speaker & attendee @researchEDSW. Firstly a huge thank you to @Noni_Rainbow @nmgilbride & team for organising the event. My favourite @researchED1 this year! @GloucsAcademy is a beautiful school & the students were a delight. @GreenshawTrust

[Matt Davies @MathsMrD]

Belonging is a BIG DEAL in school.

It can supercharge behaviour and learning... or it can lead to depression and shorter lifespans 🤯

Let's unpack why:
