A testament to traditional teaching and strong discipline.

For GCSE Mathematics, all English exam boards have been more generous in the proportion of grades awarded than the midpoint between 2019 and 2021, if not more generous than in 2021

[FFT Education Datalab @FFTEduDatalab]

2020 and 2021 saw a long-standing trend bucked: girls outperformed boys at the top grades in maths. This has been reversed this year.

But girls continue to outperform boys on almost every other metric.

As I was saying earlier today (and last week), getting back to 2019 results by next year is looking like an increasingly distant prospect - and that's before you throw all the politics of grade inflation / deflation into the mix.

"Once one branch of a schema has been forged, it acts as arm which reaches out as a hook to welcome new knowledge," writes @hydeh_rose in this new EEF blog on cognitive science and how schemas can be developed to support pupil learning.

Cognitive Load Theory says that because short-term memory is limited, learning experiences should be designed to reduce working memory ‘load’ to promote schema acquisition. #cognitiveload #learning #teaching

Once again, schools are having to create their own guidance!!!
@educationgovuk - sort out an email please. Not good enough!
This is what we are proposing:

[Andrew Woods @Mr_Woods_Maths]

'Inspecting the Curriculum' by Ofsted. When doing a review of your curriculum which of these would you say are the most informative areas of evidence collection? Interested to hear how others do QA processes.

[Andrew Pilmore @andrew_pilmore]

Now this is a lengthy read, but useful in terms of ofsted updates- worth looking at the implications for inspectors at the end of each section. Covers a lot of ground quite succinctly. https://t.co/IXVVwOVzm0

Here's how the percentage of standard passes at GCSE this year compares to 2019 and 2020, by subject.

I admire the moxie of anyone who can look at the skyrocketing grade inflation, TAG-induced exhaustion, and general COVID chaos of the last two years, and wish for anything other than driving back towards an exam-based assessment system at 100 mph

[Louis Everett @LouisEverett1]

1. ‘Continual assessment’ will be joyless - less time spent learning more time assessing.
2. Are we seriously claiming the problem with TAGs was a lack of teachers’ ability to assess? Rather than a lack of national standardisation?
3. Imagine the impact on workload…

[Inside Your Ed @Inside_Your_Ed]

Anonymously-marked exam papers are still the best way of guaranteeing consistent standards in schools, according to a group of experts in Scotland.

The matter has been under close scrutiny since the last two exam diets were scrapped because of COVID.

Dr Keir Bloomer, who led the study, said: "The experience of exam cancellations over the last couple of years tells us all we need to know about the important role that exams play in ensuring quality, consistent marking, and equity across the social divide."
