Revision tip for all year 11 students before their tier of entry examination after half term. @ExcelsiorAcad @LaidlawST

So proud of you all!

Just heard from a teacher that their school paid 20k pounds for a consultant to deliver a series of sessions...the first day was dedicated entirely to promoting learning styles. A complete waste of time and money. Don’t tell me fighting the myth of learning styles isn’t needed.

"Should teachers know the basic science of how children learn?" A typically thoughtful and helpful answer to the question from @DTWillingham in the AFT's "American Educator" magazine: bit.ly/2wXUFQB (spoiler alert: the answer is "Yes, but...")

Cross-sectional analyses of PISA and NAEP data suggest little or no overall relationship between technology use and student achievement: bit.ly/2RhROeD. We need to stop asking "Does technology help?" and start asking "When does technology help?"

That’s it, they’ve gone 😢 “We know what we are, but know not what we may be.” Good luck year 11 - you have been an absolute pleasure to teach @LaidlawST @ExcelsiorAcad @booksandmeows @ShakespeareBT @Lolra89 @FeDuncs @LaFiddes

GCSE 2019 English Exams done...phew! A massive thank you to staff for the support after and before school, lunchtimes and holidays to make sure our students were incredibly prepared. What a #team @ExcelsiorAcad @kbfxxx1 @booksandmeows @Lolra89 @LaFiddes @feduncs @LaidlawST
