@Yorkshire_Steve Thanks for replying Steve. The original blog is here, if you have time to look leadinglearner.me/2018/06/12/gra…

@LeadingLearner I've not got ethnicity in my spreadsheet.... I could probably add it though.

@Yorkshire_Steve Hi Steve, data is stark! Are you able to filter for FMS6 and ethnicity at the same time? Back in 2018, Ofsted's data when viewed through the lens of FMS6 & White British was equally damning. Are they assessing the school's intake or the quality of education?

The most respected school leaders I know working in these communities aren't asking Ofsted to lower the bar. They're asking for a system that measures what they can actually influence and recognises the extraordinary work being done against the odds. tes.com/magazine/news/…

So Engelmann’s contribution is immense, but more specific than it’s sometimes presented. He’s a theorist of instructional communication, not a full theory of instruction. In other words: Engelmann is best understood as the end of instructional design, not the beginning. profbeckyallen.substack.com/p/engelmann-la…

I’ve finally read every chapter of Engelmann’s Theory of Instruction. After years of half-reading bits of it, I forced myself to work through the whole thing. It’s a remarkable book - but I’ve come to a view that may surprise some admirers. Engelmann is best understood as last in instructional design, not first.

Another excellent read: "The diagnostic and repair work operates entirely outside the localist model of knowledge. The tutor’s distributed knowledge meets the student’s distributed gap."

This is another great read. In some ways it seems so obvious when you think about it ... the problem is I had never thought about it in this way before!

This is a fabulous read on Durable Mastery

I was there (on day 1 anyway). Watched Steve Smith getting bowled was the highlight (we had seats behind the bowler's arm, so a perfect view); watching England lose 10 wickets in a session the low point. Well done @benstokes38 and the rest of the team for a remarkable win 👏👏👏
