Thanks for highlighting this - @nickpointer_ was indeed excellent!
I’d strongly recommend seeing Nick tomorrow if you’re at ResearchEd. He’s read more research papers on PD than I’ve had hot dinners, but has also spent years and years working directly, long-term with teachers, leaders and PD leads. Guaranteed to challenge your thinking!

I was surprised by results from this question on yesterday’s ⁦@TeacherTapp⁩ but then I remembered a good proportion of primary teachers will teach it - hopefully there might be a breakdown next Tuesday?!
