I attended @nsachdeva2019’s presentation for a 2nd time today (first was in NYC)—this time with my admin and colleague. The central message is just so important:
🎯Expert teaching lies in the intersection between craft & science.

We’ve adapted our ‘Classwork Check Up’ sheet to a termly version. The whole year on one sheet! Mainly to reduce workload yet maintain standards. Verbal reviews, feedback and prompts take place daily but this acts as a defined milestone for both staff/students. #historyteacher

Literacy is too complex & too important to be left to ELA teachers alone.
We need an all hands on deck effort--including in math.

In 2021, 56% of secondary schools began Key Stage 4 in Year 9. 12 and 13 year olds are making future-defining narrowed-curriculum choices. This fantasy broad-and-balanced liberal arts education to 16 that people are talking about is just that: fantasy
To quote @DavidDidau "Purposeful collaboration: Teachers work together on curriculum, tasks, explanations, assessment and student work, not just planning admin"

Boys’ underachievement is real. But real patterns don’t automatically reveal real causes.
My latest post is on the gender gap trap: how we mistake patterns for causes, nature for destiny, and moral preference for evidence.

Inspired by an unknown educator's original evaluation grid, I've expanded the idea into a curriculum resource that develops conceptual knowledge, disciplinary vocabulary and transferable thinking. How do you teach evaluation? #AQALangP2 #Question4 #Intervention #Skillsbooster

#Department meetings shouldn't just communicate priorities—they should improve #teaching . Protect time for #curriculum thinking, collaborative planning and professional dialogue. #Culture isn't built by what #leaders say; it's built by what leaders consistently prioritise.

In 2013, I wrote a book called 7 Myths about Education.
Myth No.5 was about transferable skills.
I've updated my argument for a new @researchED1 project.
All the evidence, historical & scientific, on why you can't teach transferable skills.
