Moving over to Bluesky Being active here feels more and more like an indirect endorsement of hate and division Will keep the account live as I know people bookmark and use the links to blogs/resources etc Find me here: bsky.app/profile/teachs… or here: teachsolutions.uk

Looking forward to recording this mid-week Any questions or challenges you have about feedback in maths, get them in @LaSalleEd #TeachingTogether

🚨New(ish) blog alert A post which caused lots of debate (in a pub) when first published has had a polish 8 min read = one tea ☕️ or small wine 🍷 Ext task: Which non-sport fictional teachers have you seen which resonate with you as being effective? teachsolutions.uk/2023/06/04/doe…

@MrNickHart Wow, those are all the right questions What's in and not is our attempt to balance high leverage content, yet remain accessible to all. I imagine this will constantly be in flux and up for debate The brief answer to how it is/isn't used is captured here creativeeducationtrust.org.uk/news/?pid=3&ni…

@Teach_Solutions Thanks for sharing. Thinking about this too and trying to clarify thoughts. How did you choose what’s in and what’s not? How do you use it? What is it *not* used for?

As a MAT, we've been working to give T&L guidance to our schools Its crucial they have the agency to make it their own but we wanted to capture the best theory and practical implications somewhere Its culminated in our T&L Framework You can find it here teachsolutions.uk/files-and-docu…

@AaronWanford Whilst I can't take anywhere near all the credit, I'm more than happy to discuss how we went about putting it together and all the lessons we learnt along the way I'll send over my email if you want to meet at any point

@Teach_Solutions Really love this T & L framework, Craig! Would be great to chat to you further about it as I take on a similar role in a new trust from September, and thinking of creating something like this too. You’ve put it together really well!

@_PEKohler Would love to see that, can't DM you at the moment though, we might need to follow each other

@Teach_Solutions This is brilliant !!!! I have a PE Department Handbook inc. T&L eg Cognitive Load Theory, that I’m happy to share with you if you want to DM your email 👍🏽

@NLad84 Preach! Extra shoutout to those that have given up time or let us into their schools IRL You know who you are and you are appreciated and loved ❤️

In debt to the teams that have collaborated to come up with this work. Rooted in evidence, this work is in place to help ensure our pupils have the best chances of success. Also, a huge thank you to those on edutwitter who have given their time to support us on this journey.

Shoutout to the incredible team that helped co-write this @MrsAujla @words_morewords @NLad84 as well as the all our schools across @CreativeEdTrust Also to the T&L leads in our schools that have written incredible policies spelling out how this is lived in their classrooms

A simple lesson model breaking down the teaching process into discrete sections (with an awareness it is an over-simplification but that this can still be helpful) Practical strategies implied by the research linked to each part A bespoke section relating to all things EYFS

@SCottinghatt It's the "Teaching and Learning Framework" I love the document so much it now has its own tile you can click straight on

@SCottinghatt Gotcha. As a MAT, we've split T&L into 2 sections: 1. Principles - just the theory 2. Components - the discrete phases of a lesson where the theory is "lived" I've uploaded it to the T&L link here teachsolutions.uk/files-and-docu… if useful From these, schools make their own policies

Help needed from you generous twitter folk Doing some work about how to carve up teaching domains. Would anyone be willing to share how their school does it? E.g link to a policy or screenshot, if allowed to share it. I’d like to see the differences. Thanks in advance!

At CET we put research front and centre of our trust-wide T&L and C&A practices but know that schools having the agency to make the right decisions for their own settings is crucial Excited that we're hosting this as part of our commitment to continuous improvement

Shoutout to the team I work with that helped compile/edit this @words_morewords and @MrsAujla , the amazing staff across @CreativeEdTrust, and to those who have been kind enough to share their expertise along the way @PepsMccrea @Josh_CPD @mrbartonmaths @MissTBegum @CrasterMaria

At my trust, there has been a concerted effort to codify best T&L practice whilst giving schools the agency to personalise pedagogy for their unique settings/challenges Our approach and last year's successes are captured here and are shared with pride shorturl.at/sTVkl

This was such a pleasure to write. Can't wait to share the whole thing soon. Some amazing stories of school improvement showcasing, with the right systems and culture, just how much can be achieved in a year

@rebekah_ed @RJS2212 @MattTheApp @nathanday314 @AxiomMaths @cjshore @gcarp567 @LaSalleEd @nilampatel86 @jrlarsen @MarkHatsell Hi Matt, I've sent the presentation over to Rebekah now but have a concern that it won't be that useful as a resource by itself I've included a link to some writing I did which covers most of the session's content which may be more useful: teachsolutions.uk/2023/09/03/sup…

@RJS2212 @MattTheApp @Teach_Solutions @nathanday314 @AxiomMaths @cjshore @gcarp567 @LaSalleEd @nilampatel86 @jrlarsen @MarkHatsell Yep - sending the "Pretty please send me your presentations" email v soon @RJS2212 @MattTheApp @Teach_Solutions! Will include the dropbox link in the post-conf email (out Weds, TBC)

As MATs grow, leading on things like T&L at scale is going to become a problem more and more have to face I'm proud to work at a trust that is being proactive with this See below an overview of how we are balancing school autonomy with effective and practical trust-wide systems
