Iโ€™ve written a blog on Mainstream Inclusion Strategies: not as another document for the website, but as a way for schools to surface whatโ€™s already happening, test assumptions, identify gaps and decide what needs to be sharper. moderncassie.blogspot.com/20โ€ฆ #Inclusion #send

I wish there were more of these in public places. A simple tool that allows many nonverbal people to have a voice.
Absolutely brilliant to see this in the local park. Itโ€™s where vital conversations happen between non-verbal people and their carers and it allows my boy to tell me what he wants to do next.

Dylan Wiliam calls Cognitive Load Theory โ€œthe single most important thing for teachers to know.โ€ This guide summarises core CLT ideas and highlights six high-impact strategies for reducing overload. It focuses on the classroom levers teachers can pull right away. CLT goes much deeper, of course โ€” transient information included โ€” but these strategies offer some of the fastest gains. ๐Ÿ’ช Free HQ copy if you want it: jamieleeclark.com/graphics

It was a day we will remember for years to come.
A truly amazing day at Oldfields Hall Middle School. Well done to the staff, volunteers and those who donated prizes, time or equipment. However, the highlight was our inspirational students who performed so fantastically. Very proud to lead this school. @oldfieldsTL

โ˜‘๏ธ CHECKING FOR UNDERSTANDING! Highly recommend the book โ€˜Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI)โ€™ by Hollingsworth, and Ybarra. The โ€˜TAPPLEโ€™ acronym they introduce is ingenious for memorising their steps for Checking for Understanding. Take a look at this visual breakdown...
