@EtihadHelp I am getting no sensible help regarding an etihad policy that deliberately seats families apart on long haul flights to earn more money. It a despicable policy. People on the same booking should be sat together.

@etihad checking in with my wife and your computer has deliberately sat us apart and forced us to pay £35 to choose seats together. I am now expecting a full refund of the seat selection fee. People on the same boooking should be sat together #compliant #etihadripoff

That, however, is a misreading of the evidence. Most reviews show that differentiating in this way ('adaptive teaching') does have modest positive effects. (see e.g. https://t.co/Cp0l4ei6Ce or or https://t.co/yj98sRKrVD)

[Daniel Muijs @ProfDanielMuijs]

This too has a bad name, and is said not to work (see e.g. this critique from the US: https://t.co/gxfx8ue9Yu

[Daniel Muijs @ProfDanielMuijs]

So issues with both. But teachers still have to deal with the fact that their pupils have different levels of prior knowledge and learn at different speeds. So the third form of differentiation is what's known as adaptive teaching. Here's an overview: https://t.co/wcMrDfQB6r

Within-class grouping is also traditionally widely used. Research here shows pretty much the same as for setting. The impact of ability grouping on teacher expectations is important here, and again can increase inequity (https://t.co/kflquEFZBS)

@Evelynforde1 with stirring words about the power of allyship.

"Never pull up the ladder behind you. There are so many aspiring leaders out there.

"I made a commitment that I needed to be in a position of power and authority so I can elevate people."

The Reopening Schools Toolkit provides prompts for thinking about the mitigation of risk and some practical materials that may be helpful in creating a safe environment and offering reassurance as schools prepare for reopening. https://t.co/BYHo0Z23DF

Fantastic NEW #LDeduchat CPD with @CliveWoodward & @NigeldMorris in partnership with @WorkingOptions. At a time when youth unemployment is rocketing, what Paul Monk and team are doing to bridge the gap between industry and classroom is priceless. To book https://t.co/Lp2NcbCr9t
