No Excuses. When adults focus on children's behaviour and ignore the reasons, they can do damage which lasts. Life isn't a level playing field, and some children are pulling a much heavier load than others. Here's how it works. (with @_MIssingTheMark) 1/

There are really only two flaws with using tests to assess learning: Right answers often don’t reflect real understanding, and wrong answers often don’t reflect the absence of understanding. (Note that this is true of teacher-designed tests, not just the standardized kind.)

It’s not a race 👏🏼

Joy Hodkinson (she/her)@JoySarahh

I was 'slow' learning to read and remember sobbing to sleep after a friend's mum, a school teacher, asked if I "minded being behind" (I was 8). Last week I graduated from @Cambridge_Uni with a distinction and a prize in Medicine. I'm enjoying my scenic route. It's not a race.

Top tip this one 🙏🏽

Megan Ryder@MrsRyderEDU

Teacher Tip: If you use @SteveWyborney’s Esti-Mysteries with students and you have an iPad, you can split screen and have a hundred chart open in @explainevrythng as the class eliminates possible answers. Thanks to @joboaler for the hundred chart resource.
