The utter contempt for knowledge the DfE is demonstrating here is repulsive & undermining the efforts of schools/teachers across the country. Shame on you.

Why am I against screen-based assessments? This change will warp teaching practice for the worse. I guarantee it. More & more lesson time will be devoted to putting classes in front of screens. School leaders will feel pressure to prepare pupils which 1/
I urge everyone to fill this in. Screen-based assessments will be a disaster for England’s schools. The entire proposal is absurd & a complete waste of taxpayer money. 30% of students fail Eng / Maths: invest in this instead. 😡

Teaching is complex, the giving and receiving of feedback is emotional work, and everyone brings their own mental models to the table. The result is predictable: conversations that feel aligned in the moment diverge as soon as people walk out of the room.

1) Is revising the evening before an exam a pointless act of panicked cramming? No. It's an excellent idea. A thread 🧵
It’s no exaggeration to say that Mark is responsible for most of the high points of my career. So, I’ll park any selfish moping and wish you all the best in your well-deserved retirement. What a man.

Is written feedback a waste of time? New study finds 1 in 5 students completely ignore feedback, while nearly half of those who did try to act on the feedback, don't improve at all. 🧵⬇️

When implementing T&L techniques their success relies on this clarity and creating opportunities for teachers to deliberately practice.

English and Latin have a hidden connection that no one notices.
If a word begins with ‘f’ in English, it begins with ‘p’ in Latin.
Take the word “father.” The Latin for father is “pater” — with a ‘p.’
And that’s just the beginning.
It’s crazy, but here’s how it works… 🧵
Always saw the @UKMathsTrust as the good guys. Turns out they’ve seen a chance to price gouge and grabbed it with both hands.
