@louise_a_martin @MaryMyatt Whilst I would mostly agree, I think that there is a great oversimplification in that argument and analogy. It would depend on the student, their stage of writing, and confidence. Some well crafted questions with an exemplar can be very thought provoking.

@HeadDulwichSG Great achievement @HeadDulwichSG . Well done to the students, you, and the whole DCSG team.

@sdtitmas Certainly wouldn’t be adding it to a smoothie 😂

@m_chiles The culture you get is based on the behaviours that you tolerate and don’t challenge. Consistency is key to make any policy a part of the school culture and values.

@Headteacherchat A tight focus on teaching and learning so all students are progressing. Imbuing the school with a rich pedagogical CPD environment and mindset. Improving assessment so accurate judgements are made which help students know and achieve the next level of attainment.

Excellent new e-book on retrieval practice from @KateJones_teach. It contains useful information for all teachers and is an easy read. Would be a great reflective PD piece in a department meeting. #EvidenceBasedEducation #edutwitter

@louise_a_martin If you won’t need your jacket, get your hotel to send by courier/kuai di back to Suzhou. Super efficient and not expensive.

@louise_a_martin I just put headphones on and keep looking forward to try and block out the reality, especially at rush hour. Lol

@louise_a_martin I run in the e-bike lanes, not the pavements as they can be treacherous. Some of the parks can be good for running, too, like Dong Sha Lake Park is quite lovely.

@alicekeeler Surely the purpose should determine the mode, not just an arbitrary “electronic is better than paper” or vice versa.

Merry Christmas, everyone! I got an early present of this year’s must have in China: COVID!

[Mark Jones @mr_mark_jones]

@HargreavesBC @ASCD @steve_munby @U_Kimura @SeanTSlade It sounds very promising that they may be open to challenging the primacy of external high stakes exams in education. Out of interest, what is the word in Japanese?

[Mark Jones @mr_mark_jones]

For anyone looking for a good read this Christmas holiday, I can thoroughly recommend @HargreavesBC and @dennisshirley ‘s “Well-being in schools”. It provides an excellent analysis of well-being in schools and promising practices from around the globe.

@riceisacereal Thank you for that post - it really made my day. May I ask your name? It would be lovely to reconnect and see how you are doing now.
