Our students produced a video speaking to peers and teachers for International Women’s Day. Check it out here: bilibili.com/video/BV1TL411… Also some fantastic designs from our students… #DHSZ #InternationalWomensDay

Thread on a very cool new study. What happens if you put eye tracking software on students and teach them using different PowerPoint slides? Implications and links to student attention, cognitive load and PowerPoint design 🧵

Happy anniversary AIElOC!

Rarely am I incandescent, rarely do I use bad language on here, but: ‘What the absolute f***? As an organisation @Ofstednews is there any humanity in you? Stick your one day training where the sun does not shine. Leadership of your organisation is not fit for purpose. #RuthPerry

Thank you to everyone who joined us to support Operation Smile at DHSZ, as students, parents and staff came together to do our small part to support their mission to improve the wellbeing of children across the globe. mp.weixin.qq.com/s/VfIJ0fMUjnBB…

A damning statistic which will result in lifelong struggle and hold young people behind their peers

Arguably most significant +concerning figure in PISA coverage is in 2nd-last par here: UK now "has 2nd-lowest average life satisfaction of 15-year-olds across OECD". Ed policymakers haven't prioritised children's mental health. Need to reflect on this. theguardian.com/education/2023…

What a great day! linkedin.com/posts/dulwich-…

One thing evident from the #PISA data is that allowing phones in the classroom is not good for student learning. Two things stand out: 1.Almost a third of students report being distracted by phones in class: “around 30% of students, on average across OECD countries, reported that, in most or every mathematics lesson, they get distracted using digital devices” 2.Even students who are NOT using phones get distracted by others who use them: “Equally important, around 25% of students indicated that, in most or every lesson, they become distracted by other students who are using digital devices, that the teacher has to wait a long time for students to quiet down, that students cannot work well and that students do not start working for a long time after the lesson begins.

Thank you, #SENIA2023 #intlELOC

Nehru to BBC. This is what something close to a genuine decoloniality looks like, not obsequiously hugging every foreigner abroad, and then whining about their "too much liberalism" to your domestic media.

This is a must-read. Thank you, @loretta_fern for writing a compelling narrative on the need for anti bias and anti racist education starting as early. “That love was the only hope we had left”
