There is little to no correlation between how highly students rate their instructor and how well they have learned the subject. Evaluations are influenced by factors unrelated to teaching quality, including instructor gender and course difficulty. Faculty who teach demanding courses may receive lower ratings, not because they teach poorly, but because students conflate challenge with poor instruction. Instructors who inflate grades and reduce rigor tend to be rewarded with higher scores. chronicle.com/article/teachi…

By sheer coincidence, it was my turn to do Thought For The Day at TTA this morning, so I chose to talk about the horrific attack in Golders Green yesterday, and what it means to be a Jew in 2026 Britain. Please give it a few minutes of your time if you can.

@Jordan_C_Adams Just wrong. Working out who the more effective teachers are is not just hard. It is in principle impossible, since every teacher builds on the foundations laid by her predecessors.

Morning @Rory_Gribbell, You are understandably (and rightly) keen that people don't jump to too firm conclusions about how the new toolkits are working from a small sample of reports.

Following on from Anna's great✍️ post on Wednesday, and as an EYFS SLE, check out this writing from the other end of our school 😍. We have had strong fidelity to @RuthMiskinEdu Read, Write, Inc model for about 10 years now. You can read about our approach to teaching and learning from Pre-School to Year 2 here 👇 theeducakers.substack.com/p/purposeful-l… We follow a hybrid of direct instruction and continuous provision and, we hope you agree, those foundational skills are really coming along! Happy Easter everyone,🐥 Cass @Emma_Turner75 @MaryMyatt @RuthMiskinEdu @WAGOLLTeaching @TeacherPaul1978 @JoPetersEYFS @MrsDexterEYFS

As ‘Low Expectations’ are in the air again, here’s a polemic I wrote about origins of ‘the soft bigotry of low expectations’ soundbite a decade ago. Whilst some things have changed, I’d still argue that ‘low expectations’ is unhelpful sleight of hand… icingonthecakeblog.weebly.com/blog/attacking…

Spot on from Adam. <Applies hard hat to head> And it was a point Martyn made in his speech to ASCL last week: the report card recognises the progress being made by schools, without masking where more is needed.

I've seen a few of these now, where achievement is ranked lower than...all the things that cause achievement (behaviour, curriculum, etc) I understand how that happens but a lot of teachers and leaders will look at it and say "nah doesn't make sense"

Happy #bookmarkMonday 🥳. A no-brainer for this week is @adamboxer1's short blog 👇 An easy, great read about the sunk-cost fallacy that we all have to lean into sometimes, no matter how good a school leader we think we might be. In education there are fads, old ideas gift-wrapped as new ones and just the wrong choices. Know the best bets and implement them until you're blue in the face! #we❤️EEF Thanks, Adam

So, we've plenty of data in for secondary reports. I have been tweeting away my observations and comparing the awarded achievement grades against a model I wrote using publicly available data and the final version of the toolkits.

Come along to the Databusting event we're hosting with @InsightHQ @Databusting @jpembroke
Cass & Anna - The Educakers@theeducakers

We're really excited to announce that @InsightHQ @jpembroke @Databusting will be running their 'Databusting Surrey with the Educakers' event with us in June. Have a look at the link below for more information. We'd love to meet so many of you in person! eventbrite.co.uk/e/databusting-… A practical one-day workshop for primary and MAT senior leaders on making assessment and data work in practice, without adding to workload. With the introduction of the new Ofsted toolkit and a revised IDSR, schools and trusts are under increasing pressure to demonstrate how assessment and data support inclusion, particularly for disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND. This practical one-day workshop provides time and space to step back and consider how assessment and data can be managed effectively, without adding unnecessary workload. Aimed at senior leaders, the day focuses on practical, realistic approaches to assessment and data that support teachers, strengthen provision and inform improvement.
