Live model marking in action. I supplied a weak answer which we analysed as a class using the visualiser whilst verbalising my thought process. Pupils then produced their own improved answers & peer marked their work. Excellent work was celebrated under the visualiser #edutwitter

I think I've figured out what's going wrong in schools. One of the biggest challenges facing us (& parents) is the reward environment our children are growing up in. Endless scrolling from as soon as they can control a device. On-demand TV in glorious 4K. Instant feedback & constant stimulation from getting up to going to bed. They're growing up in a different world. Neuroscience tells us that brains adapt to frequent, fast rewards. Children are now hard-wired differently, from birth. School requires patience, effort & delayed gratification. At home, they're don't know how to be bored, they don't need to be any more. They don't communicate in the same way. They don't get excited like they used to. They don't have to work hard for fun in the real world because they can find it so easily online. They've become dopamine junkies & we're on a hiding to nothing - we're not competing with bad behaviour, we're competing with biology (and it's truly terrifying.)

Wots going on. This type of labelling seems designed to confuse. Apparently a serving size is 5/6th of a bag. Who eats 5/6ths. Just state the facts about the bag. Pointless, misleading, nonsense.

Inclusion does not mean lower expectations & standards. It means supporting kids to reach the expectations & standards you have.

We’re proud to celebrate the publication of @TrinityTSFA recent #Ofsted inspection report – a significant milestone for the sixth form and for the wider FE sector. As the first FE provider to volunteer for inspection under the new framework, the team at TSFA has shown real confidence, ambition and leadership. Ofsted praised Trinity Sixth Form Academy as a place where students ‘thrive’, ‘flourish’ and ‘where everybody can be their authentic self’, within a sixth form where learners are highly motivated, supported to succeed, and empowered to achieve their best. A powerful endorsement of the work of staff, leaders and students, and of our shared commitment across Trinity MAT to making a positive difference to the lives of as many young people as possible. Read the full report here: files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/502951…

I find it difficult to put my thoughts about research, theory, and concrete application into words. Of course research is important. Of course theory is important. But it so often doesn't make an actual difference in the classroom. Someone learns about retrieval practice, cognitive load theory, adaptive teaching, even Rosenshine...and then nothing changes in their lessons the next day. Without the concrete, nitty gritty hows, whens and bys, all the whys in the world are meaningless.

Fascinating to hear lessons learned from the new Ofsted. Lessons learned: ·      Consider carefully which groups you flag up to inspectors, as these (refuge, EAL) formed part of the case sampling.  ·      Impact is everything, from the phone call right through the inspection.  ·      Inclusion is already a central part, even on the phone call ·      IDSR was reviewed, but the lead inspector pulled out the overarching themes rather than going line by line. However, be prepared to explain any single data point.  ·      They are looking to validate the SIP/SEF; narrate how what you are seeing fits into the school’s context  ·      Inspectors asked ‘is this typical’? Be prepared to break this down ·      Case sampling/inclusion learning walks:  ·      What happens in class needs to match the planned provision (SEND folders/EHCPs/class provision map)  ·      Staff leading this need to really know the pupils  ·      Guide inspectors towards the pupils with SEND, otherwise they will gravitate to those with visible adaptations/needs  ·      Curriculum – asked to see some medium term planning. Have this ready just in case.

I'm not anti-edtech. I love my write-on tablet. I love my screen. I couldn't teach without OneNote or @Carousel_Learn. I am NOT anti-tech. I am anti giving children something that I know will distract them when I need them to focus. I am anti allowing children to use a portable safeguarding nuclear warhead on school premises. I am anti experimenting on children in the name of "progress". I am anti the fatalism of claiming "this is the way the world is now", or "there's no turning back". I am anti using gamification and the pursuit of short term extrinsic dopamine hits when learning is both a long-term process and its own reward. I am anti pursuing tech pedagogical solutions in cases where the non tech solutions (like explicit instruction) are oven-ready and perfectly sufficient. I am anti allowing the discourse to be guided and dominated by tech billionaires, educational futurists, and those who don't feel the need to do the work of teaching underprivileged children.

No student should be allowed to use a laptop, tablet or phone in class. You might think you "can use them well" but you can't, sorry. You stand to lose everything for a tiny gain that will never materialise.

There will be lots of people writing and talking about "belonging" over the coming years. Many of them will be charging money for their thoughts. Here are some simple tests to see if they are worth listening to: - Were they talking about it before Ofsted decided it's a thing? - Do they have any track record in the area? Where? Which school? How recently? - Are they referencing schools that have been successful in the area of "belonging"? What metric are they using for "success"? - Are they giving any *concrete* advice about *things you can actually do tomorrow* or is it all nebulous ideas? - Is the thing they are suggesting going to be relatively more impactful than things like improving corridor culture or tightening your behaviour policy? Just be careful. It's a broad enough term to mean pretty much anything, and is therefore ripe for manipulation and exploitation. Don't be easy to open your school's coffers.

Wow! #TrinityFest2025. I walked away from every session a little bit wiser. @beingbrilliant launched the day with a bang 💥 so many awesome takeaways - he'll be pleased to hear I employed 'the 4 minute rule' when I got home! 😁 Thank you to @TrinityAcadStE for organising! 👏

Agree! I came to the world of edu' blogs after 10yrs in the classroom. I was a 'good' teacher who was occasionally great, but a nudge from @teachingcase to jump on Twitter & read TLAC allowed me to stop doing some of the less effective things& really focus on the ones that matter

Reading education blogs changed my life, so I want to do everything I can to share and amplify recent blogs. Here's a list of some I've really enjoyed, and I'll try and get some suggestions of quality free blogs out regularly. Please do share and subscribe if you can - writing blogs is an intensive process and authors need encouragement or they will stop! Claire Stoneman's characteristically beautifully written piece about the small blessings that make teaching worth it: birminghamteacher.substack.com/p/on-blessings… Teach Like a Champion team with some useful tips for observing lessons: teachlikeachamp.substack.com/p/active-obser… Lee Donaghy on how the most inclusive way to teach is to be clean, clear and explicit at all points: ldonaghy.substack.com/p/good-for-all… Adam Robbins with a nifty tweak to the way you challenge poor behaviour: mrarobbins.substack.com/p/quick-hitter… Shaun Allison with a slew of useful strategies for effective lesson management: shaunallison.substack.com/p/beyond-getti… Lee Wheeler speaking my language in arguing that schools don't focus enough on retrieval practice and long term learning: mrwheeler1.substack.com/p/retrieval-is… I'm posting another blog soon, and you can check out and subscribe to my account here: carouselteachlearnlead.substack.com/?utm_campaign=… Thank you to @stoneman_claire @Doug_Lemov Lee, @MrARobbins @shaun_allison Lee W (is he on X?) for writing!

You really can't argue with this. I take my hat off to the team involved. Guiding a white, working-class cohort to such a level of success is no mean feat👏 🙌 👌

I spent today in St George’s School in Blackpool with @TheTeacher6. This school is achieving astonishing things and has a wonderful culture. The thing that stands out about the school more than anything is how warm it is, and how polite the children are! 🧵

@MrLeeBates @joel120193 It's a really simple, straightforward piece of knowledge to recall. It doesn't require an analogy. I find analogies are most useful to make quite complex processes with many steps more accessible, to aid understanding rather than as a memory tool.

@joel120193 @HoyleDoc i have not said i think powerhouse is a good analogy in terms of getting the results we want, i am just suggesting it must be a good analogy for the pupils to remember because it persists. & it'd be good to think of an equally sticky analogy that does lead to them getting a tick

I always like to think that Brain Gym and VAK are all but gone from our schools, but a teacher has just sent me a list of strategies for a student that mentions both. I have so many questions! How is this still happening and how do none of the 75+ staff not say something?

@joel120193 @MrLeeBates Firm agree with Joel here, it's a poor analogy and one which pupils regurgitate as verbum to deposit on an exam script and gain zero marks. It's basic knowledge recall and doesn't require this poor analogy- one which I'm sorry to say I used during my early years of teaching!
