Where can I find video examples of public school teachers modeling a lesson using Direct Instruction? @MrZachG

@Samstricko181 The problem is that the staff shortages have arisen, in part, due to staff cuts made in order to afford pay rises
English
I’m not sure an unfunded pay rise that’s below the rate of inflation is helpful….
Tes magazine@tes
Teachers should get a pay rise of at least 7% over 3 years to avoid school staff shortages, says @TheNFER in response to the DfE’s 6.5% proposal tes.com/magazine/news/…

@greeborunner @sciantificnew I keep seeing this narrative and it concerns me greatly. This will lead to performative lessons to demonstrate false progress.
English
@sciantificnew Progress IN lessons is something they moved away from years ago. Progress in books, challenge or well matched activities, pupils building on prior learning, but progress? Hmmm
English
1/Prob. shouldn’t say this but I hear Ofsted said they didn’t see enough progress in lessons. And this alongside our low GCSE outcomes worked against us.
So what they’re effectively saying is schools with better outcomes are more likely to ‘get away’ with lower quality lessons?

@m_chiles This a lovely approach. Do you have any value attached to your points system? As in are the points worth things to the children. Ours don’t and I wonder if they should in some way
English
Really encouraged to see the DfE highlighting the impact of rewards on school improvement.
At Longdendale, our rewards system is firmly anchored in our values and our wider Legacy building work.

Personally I wouldn’t want anyone bar me & my SLT to write our school’s SEF. It would worry me how well someone external truly knew the organisation & surely any given SLT needs to know inside out what their SEF says….

Brilliant blog from Elliot here. We should be asking teachers and leaders for feedback to consider how accurately research has translated to practice, or how it may have mutated along the way.
Elliot Hahn@MrElliotHahn
🔍 How we share theory matters. @SaysMiss reminded me: for busy teachers, evidence should support, not overwhelm. Our PD principle of Evidence-Informed Foundations is about clarity + purpose. New blog👇 elliothahn1.wordpress.com/2025/11/15/bui…

This is great thinking from Alex. We should ask ourselves this more!
‘Knowledge rich’ can morph into contextless teaching without understanding. Implementation of knowledge organisers suffers from this problem. I look at some and think: ‘this is so abstract and vocab dense!’
Alex@teachingwrens
@Suchmo83 Yeah... if I was being taught how to fix a car (not my area of expertise!), I imagine I'd prefer the mechanic to explain each part when we got around to it, rather than pre-listing them out of context and before I was even certain about what the new learning was around.

@Claire_L_White I am pretty sure that you had the same RISE person as us! I hope it went as you wished

My whole staff team shone this week.
An Ofsted monitoring visit, a DfE RISE visit, Year 11 Success evening and visits from primary colleagues.
They showed commitment, care and belief.
It’s important to me that the school is a place where staff can thrive.

Attendance up nearly 5% in one year.
SEND attendance up 8.5%.
How? I treated attendance like the emergency it is. Every persistent absence case was unpicked, every student’s story traced across their whole school life.
