Excellent blog by @SENDMattersUK on 'Invisible inclusion'
"How tangible is inclusive practice? While highly visible ‘additional’ & ‘different’ practices are often the easiest to see, they should also be treated with caution."

**New blog**
+ How much phonics is enough?
+ What about kids for whom phonics doesn't work?
+ Why has phonics teaching not led to far better outcomes in KS2 SATS?
All the most common questions about phonics that I've ever answered all in one place!

Please get rid of those what is geography units. Primary teachers are doing so much more than you're giving them credit for if you do that. Pupils know more than you're giving them credit for.
The same goes for pretty much everything else too.
What if Y7 started with a bang? What if Y7 geography starts with rich geographical knowledge as opposed to a fluffy unit that lacks foundational substantive knowledge? Put another way: what if we never saw another 'Skills of a Geographer' unit again?!

Lots of behaviour advice is bad.
FLMOP isn't. It's a concrete and tangible strategy that any teacher can use to improve behaviour in their classrooms.

Retrieval practice is going wrong in a lot of classrooms, why? It usually works best in the middle of a pipeline: after explanation, before performance.

New Post!
In many classrooms, lots of students aren’t listening, which means they aren’t learning. In this post we outline a few common mistakes and simple techniques for building classrooms where ALL students expected to participate.
Please share if you can, link in reply 🙏

Professors John Hattie & Gregory Donoghue published ‘A Meta-Analysis of Ten Learning Techniques’ (2021), which replicated the findings of Dunlosky et al. (2013). Their conclusion stated:
“The most effective techniques are Distributed Practice & Practice Testing.” I write about retrieval practice & spaced practice in the article below for @EvidenceInEdu

If we want A Level students independently using GIS in their NEA, we must start in Year 7. I’m really enjoying building this progression deliberately through our Year 7 and 8 booklets, as part of a carefully sequenced seven-year curriculum that leads to greater independent use of GIS. If you enjoy this type of curriculum thinking and believe in disrupting disadvantage through a rigorous knowledge-rich curriculum why not think about applying to be the next National Lead at @astreaacademies and continue the work I've started. #curriculum #GIS #edujob @carnaby_mr teaching-vacancies.service.g…

Children love being successful and hate being scared. Don’t we all. Don’t bark at them; teach them how to do it. @tombennett71 @researchED_US

As much as I might try to suggest that containerisation is *the* most important accelerator of globalisation, when Y8 disagree, they disagree… 💁🏻♀️
A rare diamond-9- only used when we can be confident that students have the knowledge needed to carefully think, debate & question
