A very helpful description of the factors involved with a Ss’ ability to comprehend. Worth sharing with teachers currently trying to make teacher judgements about Ss learning 👇🏼🗣️

[Jennifer Buckingham @buckingham_j]

Thanks for jumping in, Chris. Agree with all the above. ORF has a strong relationship with comprehension - if students can read accurately at a good rate they are more able to focus on meaning, and if they also read with expression they are demonstrating to some extent that they understand it. So ORF is a start but not the whole story. There is some research on cloze/maze for primary students but that is also imperfect and, as Chris says, question-based comprehension assessments are not very precise. Comprehension involves many interrelated skills and different assessments tend to pick up different elements (and all are confounded by background knowledge). So given that teachers need to assess irrespective of the difficulties with reliability, I tend to suggest some combination of ORF with bespoke teacher-developed assessment on a regular basis and perhaps an annual standardised assessment for growth monitoring, with all the associated caveats.

Ending the week with the Ed-Celeb @BronRyrieJones #NextStepsRT

Not many can motivate a room full of overloaded teachers like @DunnEducation on a Friday afternoon. Helping middle leaders of the SAGE network to remain laser focused with improvement work through playbooks and evidence-informed resource banks

@Steplab_co Is there a plan for Coaching Hubs for Australian Steplab schools in 2024?

[Luke Fletcher @Mr__Fletcher]

Pleasing feedback after 6 months of boosting our instructional coaching with the use @Steplab_co; Teachers are crystal clear about the why and how of their next goal and students are benefiting from more accountability for thinking and doing ✅

Great day of learning at #ExpertCoaching23 with @BronRyrieJones. Capped off with a great panel discussing the ins and outs of instructional coaching @Smithre5 @CatJStephens @NickJParkinson

[Luke Fletcher @Mr__Fletcher]

@Brad_Nguyen_ Hey Brad - now we’re back at school I’d love to trial your resources with my Year 4s. On your first slide you mention benchmarks. Are these scores marked like acadience i.e each digit correct is a mark?

@ChapReads The SPO (single paragraph outline) and glossary of The Writing Revolution @TheWritingRevol contains important key words and concepts that teachers need to know as well as the students. These have been especially useful during planning and professional development workshops
