We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

I’ve really been enjoying Daisy’s work on AI assessment.

Apologies if anyone is trying to buy @Mr_Crome Power of Teams, I may have purchased around 30 copies from Amazon* It’s a core text in 2 programmes for us next year 1) Leaders are Readers for SLT 2) Our 4th(!!) year of Middle Leader Mastery Alongside @Caroline_Alice_ 😂

This is actually a brilliant blog by @msrebeccabirch - and gives language to something I've thought for a while: in education we tend to prioritise "nice things" over "critical problems", and systems thereby fail to improve. Excellent stuff. rebeccabirch.substack.com/p/on-painkille…

***FAMILY GUIDE*** We have been working on a booklet for parents and carers to provide guidance on how to support their child with learning 😊 #TheLongdendaleLegacy

***LITERACY STANDARDS*** Literacy lies at the heart of everything we do. We know that strong reading, writing, and speaking skills are essential for students to fully engage with our ambitious, knowledge-rich curriculum and to succeed in all areas of life. That’s why we prioritise developing high levels of literacy across all subjects. @MissCole279 has worked hard with our literacy lead to bring our strategy to life throughout school. @Doug_Lemov @WALKTHRUs_5 @teacherhead @olicav #TheLongdendaleLegacy

***ASSESSMENT*** Assessment is the bridge between teaching and learning. When effective it provides rich information to determine how much and how well students have learnt the intended curriculum. In classrooms, assessment is an integral part of teaching. All interactions with students during a lesson are a potential opportunity to gather information to monitor students success against the intended curriculum aims.

The best teachers I've seen don't use a wide range of activities. They do a few things, and they do them well. They hone them, practise them, and know exactly when each one should be used and why. The students become habituated to them, and learning goes through the roof.

I love KS3! Stories i read with my scientists this week Scurvy on slave trade ships Egypt and Ethiopian conflict over hydroelectric dam Robert Hooke's discovery of cells Zacharias Janssen and the discovery of the microscope

NEW BLOG Why are teachers so hard to develop? This blog outlines three of the key reasons I explore and offers some solutions link below If you have received bad CPD or find it frustrating when staff revert back to old habits, then share this post to spread the word 🙏

A model for school environment and leadership. Based on the School Environment and Leadership: Evidence Review. ✍️ This document draws on a comprehensive review of existing literature (112 studies) and identifies a set of school factors for which there is good evidence that they are related to student outcomes. ✍️ These school-level factors are our current best bets for school leaders to pay attention to. It is intended to have a constructive, action focus and includes recommendations to school leaders on how to use the model. Download reports here: hubs.la/Q03wPFnS0

Spent the day finalising our T&L Playbook for next year. Core techniques are a mix of @TeachLikeAChamp and @WALKTHRUs_5 strategies. The playbook details the what, how, when and why of each, with videos from @Steplab_co for teachers to explore in labs and with their coaches. 🤓

@OBrienDouglas @PenriceAcademy Congratulations. Well deserved and a brilliant school!

🧵Getting people to learn is *hard*. I'm trying to flip the way I think so that I make better assumptions about learning. Here's how it's going (plea for help at the end) I now see three learning DEMONS 👿👿👿 ....
