"The only thing that matters with feedback is the reaction of the recipient. That's it. Feedback - no matter how well designed - that the student does not act upon is a waste of time." Dylan Wiliam (2017). Below is my guide to help students make the most of feedback to support their learning & progress. Feel free to use & share if you think it's helpful 😊

Reflections on our six month sabbatical. As I gear up for going back to work in earnest, here are some thoughts about the experience of taking time off - It was an incredible experience; life-changing in many ways and I'm grateful to everyone who supported us to go.. ..🧵

It's half term, which means I have a copy of Primary Reading Simplified to give away. Simply *retweet* this tweet for your chance to win. I will choose a winner at random this Saturday (22nd February).

Such a thought provoking and interesting read featuring none other than our amazing @the_laat DCEO @CommittedHead who raises so many points to think about and consider regarding attendance. If you haven’t read @katrionaos book ‘Poor’ it’s an absolute must!!! #strongertogether

Great news! You can now share Virtual Classroom films with both a QR code and a link—just click ‘Share’. QR codes last as long as links, covering each half-term with a little overlap. Reminder: these films are licensed for your children’s families only.

A good move!! gov.uk/government/new…

@BranstonInfant1 @MathsHubs @the_laat I love this!!! Absolutely brilliant 🤩

Thank you @MathsHubs for tonight’s Big 5 CPD on Conceptual Variation. Also love Mrs Sharpe’s visual representation of our @the_laat Teaching & Learning Toolkit linked to our training for teachers to add notes & prompts. What do you think @SamEden7? #TheBestWeCanBe 🍎
