CLT and presentations. What to avoid. An old blog post: olicav.com/blog/2020/4/14…

Our toolkit is full of resource ready to get going with pedagogical professional development for your staff.

You are welcome. @teacherhead @olivercavi @MattTeachCoach

It was a busy day here yesterday at Educakers HQ; Cass at the HT conference with @schoolsallexcel ; our EYFS and KS1 leads @KarinaKenning & @MissBunyan1 leading our 'Rethinking KS1' training for practitioners in the South East; and I had a great time joining @LisaWorgan for the Teaching WalkThrus online network meeting (even though I was embarrassingly late)! It was interesting to think about ADAPT as a framework when using the Walkthrus. As a school, we've worked hard on consistency of routines and techniques and use the Walkthrus to do that and align people's understanding. ADAPT, allows for some tweaks and changes. We've managed to maintain consistency as a school, whilst still adapting the Walkthrus' techniques for the phases, ages and the stages of children, we teach. We've done this through staff meetings, where the steps of techniques have been agreed and written down for everyone to refer back to. We're looking forward to doing more work with the Walkthrus clusters next year as part of our SDP. @teacherhead @olivercavi @MattTeachCoach @WALKTHRUs_5

What an exceptional blog post about Bloom. A must-read if ever there was one. Bravo Daisy!

@GingaGill @ShakinthatChalk Is wearing ties the English vice?

@ShakinthatChalk It’s all so silly imo. No need for pupils to wear ties at all.

There is a female equivalent of formal dress with a tie. Why is it only men required to dress in such a way? And why are girls required to wear a tie? Fascinates me.

Joining Teaching WalkThrus isn't just about accessing resources for professional development. Its about being part of a community of schools who reflect deeply on pedagogical practice that impacts the learning of young people in classrooms around the school. Today was just an example of this - our @WALKTHRUs_5 Summer network. All member schools are invited to join these virtual events, hearing case stories from school around their Implementation journey and discuss key parts of the toolkit with colleagues. Not yet a member? Come and find out more! And in our latest events you can sign up to our Autumn network which takes place on 17.11.26. @teacherhead @MattTeachCoach @olivercavi

Given the confusion about inclusion, attention should be given to the Index for Inclusion. Launched in 2000 it is available in over 40 languages and is used across the world. share.google/Gijv4ZbCvCWRZw…

NEW BLOG: Retrieval Is Not a Starter Activity emaths.co.uk/blog/general-e…

@helenrey @dare_richard Do read these, Helen. And you'll discover Ausubel and the whole meaning-making phenomenon, seemingly only now being rediscovered.

Having tried concept mapping with all ages I was curious to see this: learningandthebrain.com/blog/building-… Agreed, way too much of a working memory overload for most Ss. I discovered cmap.ihmc.us and Joe Novac's work - super interesting - here's the physics map of Oppenheimer.

What better way to find out more about Teaching WalkThrus than to come and learn from @teacherhead Tom Sherrington himself. Introducing this free event for school leaders for Autumn 2026, come and find out what @WALKTHRUs_5 membership is all about. Experience models of high quality PD through our biggest leverage pedagogical techniques and explore implementing cycles of training and coaching in your school through the use of the Teaching WalkThrus toolkit.

Teacher prep should be grounded in evidence but there is a phrase in medical education which often gets aired at welcoming lectures to medical school: “50% of what we teach you over the next five years will be wrong, or inaccurate. Sadly, we don’t know which 50%”.

Planning the focus of professional development for next academic year? Whether it be... ...establishing strong expectations and routines for learning and behaviour ...running an inclusive classroom where every pupil is involved in thinking and questioning ...developing learning through oracy ...adaptive teaching, scaffolding and supporting all learners to be successful ....interweaving retrieval practices into daily, weekly and termly learning ...ensuring feedback supports learning to move forward ...our Teaching WalkThrus toolkit has you covered. Member schools and colleges can access a wealth of resource to plan great PD input, and follow this through with reflective coaching conversations. @teacherhead @MattTeachCoach @olivercavi

Why do so many schools use Teaching WalkThrus for their pedagogical professional development? Because improving teaching isn't about finding more ideas. It's about helping teachers to: •  Understand what effective practice looks like •  See it clearly •  Practise it deliberately •  Refine it through coaching •  Embed it over time @WALKTHRUs_5 breaks complex pedagogical approaches into clear, visual, five-step guides that support meaningful professional learning and lasting change. Simple. Practical. Research-informed. @teacherhead @MattTeachCoach @olivercavi

Discovered my father's self-assembled curriculum when he had to learn English, architectural vocabulary, and the general arts scene. These early post-war publications are fascinating. Articles on John Piper, Ben Shan.

My new car 🤩 paid for in full. After spending a while on my vision board, it’s finally become a reality. Massive thanks to my mentor @Zainabiskandarr for the guidance along the way. Truly grateful for the opportunity to work with you ❤️

@SwailesRuth Oh I'm not hacked Ruth this is just like a broadcast message sorry about that

@olicav is lovely but has never referred to me as “mate”, so I’m guessing he’s had his account hacked !

@mrs_billingham Yes I sent

@olicav have you sent us all DMs asking for votes..? Or have you been hacked?

@Mid_LifeBassist No I’m not hacked

Ah, dammit, looks like @olicav may have been hacked... 🙄 (just received a "vote for me" DM)

@tetheredtoed1 No I'm not hacked
