@helenrey@stoneman_claire I thought this was an interesting essay that added a little more to my understanding of how individualism and self-reliance relate: https://t.co/Pasf7MO4mv
@helenrey@SoLInTheWild@oliviajune82 This is beyond my expertise, but for me, it also connects to ideas about threshold concepts. Vertical alignment of the curriculum is such a key factor. Coming from the UK to US, I have struggled with how haphazard alignment can be.
@SoLInTheWild@oliviajune82@helenrey And secondly, the power of the Frayer model is really in the exploration of non-examples as boundaries of meaning. My memory is vague, but I seem to remember reading that misconceptions cannot be overcome, but can be inhibited by a plausible framework.
@SoLInTheWild@oliviajune82@helenrey I found this exchange really interesting. My much more limited takeaway has always been simpler: that foundational misconceptions can exist in the minds of successful learners. For me, the question is, 'How do I recognise this in assessment and then adjust my teaching?'
@FromTeachrsDesk It will be interesting to see whether the correlations between high school GPA and college freshman grades hold up as AI makes high school grades more and more meaningless...
@SoLInTheWild@StamStam193 Q2 naturally leads to Q4. You study different perspectives (Q2), and then, in Q4, a proposed response is examined from various perspectives. With older students, it could lead to discussions about epistemology at a very practical level.
@SoLInTheWild@StamStam193 I guess the tricky change is in the original formulation Q2 is historic & Q4 is from the student's view, which is why it comes at the end. What about if you changed Q4 to "What could be done about it?'. It opens comparative analysis.
@SoLInTheWild I'm reminded of the 1987 documentary 'Private Universe': https://t.co/pKSfB29KGR. You cannot watch this and think about teaching/learning the same way again.
Orwell fought with a Marxist militia wrongly described by many as Trotskyist (POUM broke with Trotsky and vice versa in rather spectacular fashion). Their leadership was murdered by the Soviet NKVD, which also hunted Orwell. Below is what Orwell wrote *after* returning from Spain in a celebrated essay about defending England from Nazism. Musk is what Pope meant by "a little education is a dangerous thing."
@TheCinesthetic I'm surprised nobody has mentioned The Deerhunter. I could have chosen the cabin scene or the ending, but this remains the most remarkable.

@LoveInner Live, there was an extraordinary weight to the pulse of the performances that the recordings don't have. I think it is just that live music has an energy that recordings cannot capture. Plue the Philharmonia at the time had a very dark palette.
What primary & secondary school leaders need to know about effective writing transition
Writing transition isn’t a baton pass where primary hands over and secondary drops it. It’s a compatibility problem. Primary writing rewards expression, description and voice. Secondary writing demands clarity, explanation and disciplinary argument.
Same word. Different conceptions.
