Big vision for educational change & renewal. Professional agency & autonomy is key. New forms of assessment & learning. Less high stakes testing, a broader curriculum. No mention of longer school days or more pressure on teachers. @AbbieWightwick https://t.co/jFBsT5oAn6

I ♥️the movement by so many educators to the science of learning & reading. The value of an explicit approach to literacy instruction cannot be understated.

But what does 'explicit' really mean? Can independent reading & writing activities sit alongside?

Research can't tell teachers what to do—classrooms are too complex for that ever to be likely. But research can identify "best bets" for improving practice, and the Great Teaching Toolkit Evidence Review is pretty much the state of the art in this regard: https://t.co/FJXMJ8NuxL
