We are big fans of @LauraLolder ‘s course readers and are planning to create one for Sign of Four. Does anyone have one or anything similar as a starting point before we embark on this mission? Thanks! @Team_English1
New article from E. D. Hirsch and me on (1) the evidence for the importance of knowledge in reading; (2) why it’s taken so long for people to acknowledge the evidence; (3) what we predict if the role of knowledge is taken seriously. https://t.co/JJONYhQCxQ
3 books becomes 4! It’s been a long time coming but the new Ready to Teach on ‘An Inspector Calls’ is finally here! Congratulations to @HughesHaili and @MiriamHussain_ on a wonderful addition to the series! @teachals@HLearningPD

🎁 FREE GIFT: FULL ROSENSHINE CPD PACK!
To celebrate 50 consecutive weeks of ⚗️DistillED, I’ve put together something quite cool…
Over the past year, Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction has been one of the most requested topics from teachers and school leaders. So I’ve put together a complete, ready-to-run CPD pack to help schools explore and implement all 10 principles.
The download includes:
→ 10 CPD PowerPoints (ready for 30–45 min sessions)
→ 10 strategy checklists (practical classroom actions)
→ 10 planning templates (put principles into action )
→ Covers all 10 of Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction
Everything you need to run ten focused CPD sessions — one for each principle.
👉 REPOST and comment ROSENSHINE and I’ll DM you the link. Cheers!
⏰ Available until Sunday 22 March!

This was a labour of love - 7000+ minutes and 22,000 words! But my Worlds and Lives revision guide is done. It contains every poem annotated, some essay writing methods, key quotations, practice essay qs - the lot! I have added it to my booklet folder https://t.co/txbp2GBQoj
@FunkyPedagogy @educationgovuk Totally agree! Do you have any words of wisdom or would you consider CPD around what we do with the data? (When you are not on mat leave, of course!)
