🚨✈️ Evidence-Informed Wisdom is here!! ✈️🚨

RT for a chance to be the first to read it.

Today we received our advance copies.

I wanted to initially call it ‘How to not mess up cognitive science in your school or college��. But that was a bit long.

It’s a serious book written in a funny way. It’s my favourite thing I’ve ever done.

Anyway…if you want to be the first to read it before it gets officially released, just RT this.

Will pick someone at random on Sunday night and post them a copy!

🚨Do you teach secondary? If so, @educationgovuk has published details of a short course that has been written regarding supporting reading in secondary.

This is definitely worth looking at: https://t.co/eo1smnHvjG

NOTES

‘Great Teaching, Unpacked’ is a 4-part Netflix-style documentary from @Steplab_co > to access, just grab some popcorn and head over to:

→ https://t.co/t0d7Iv8rIF

The docco features:

• 4x 45min episodes (Harnessing Attention, Teaching Behaviour, Securing Success, Embedding Development)
• Accompanying training resources for each episode
• Full (uncut) footage of selected lessons

IMPORTANT
1. Multiple configurations of effective schooling exist—this is only ONE flavour of examples.
2. The goal is not to imitate what you see, but rather to catalyse a conversation about what ‘even better’ might look like in YOUR unique context.
3. Beware CONTEXTUAL BLOCKADE (where we focus on the reasons something won’t work for our context, rather than what we can learn from it).
4. By itself, the docco will not transform teaching in a lasting way—for this, you also need an effective PD system (such as Steplab).
5. Huge gratitude to the schools and families who so generously shared their learning lives—please talk about and share this footage with due respect 🙏

If you do end up watching/using the docco, we’d LOVE to know what you think (and if you have suggestions for improving the site or resources).
