Extremely proud of the results that our department achieved today. Our 4+ figure increased by 14%. (To 54%) We achieved our 1st grade 9 since June 2018, (excluding TAGs) Our best results in 5 years, the pupils have only been taught a mastery way of schooling. PROUD

Here’s an example of a ‘seating plan tick sheet’ as discussed in Ep3 of Operation Education. Each time you give ‘warm, specific, named praise’ add a tally to the name. Aim: 30-50 per lesson. Keep it on a clipboard. Print fresh for each lesson to allow for updates to seating plan
A 'seating plan tick sheet' prompts teachers to give more praise & notice pupils that are flying under the radar. Neena explains exactly how teachers can leverage this powerful technique to make a more inclusive classroom in this week's episode of Operation Education.

This super myth buster from Steplab about evidence-informed approaches to SEN/ additional needs provision. Summary: lots of things we sometimes think are useful, have no evidence to back them up, or weak evidence. In some cases they may even harm. Fidget spinners, Zones of Regulation, Mindfulness…just because we want something to work doesn’t mean that it does.

Looking forward to the release date! We are currently in the process of making our KS3 more ambitious!
1/ Spend time in almost any secondary school and you will hear the familiar language of urgency: Year 11. Results. Intervention. Progress 8. And of course, these things matter.

I've been doing some graph work and these plastic wallets with graph inserts used as MWB have proved invaluable in initial teaching and in checking for understanding. Much better than getting students to sketch their own axes.

Strong KS3 does not begin in Year 10. It begins in Year 7, when pupils are given serious texts, serious ideas and serious intellectual attention. KS3 isn’t the bridge, it’s the foundation. myattandco.com/ks3-the-ambit…

Check. Adapt. A useful resource for teachers shared by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) Many misunderstand, so pause and fix. Some are unsure, so adapt support. Most understand, so extend and support. Teachers make so many decisions each day, this resource offers helpful advice about what to do & when informed by evidence captured in a lesson.

Very useful!
What's new in #LeadershipHandbook 6.0? Most teachers plan for others and use others' plans. We need a shared understanding of how to do this well. xitter.cf/MrNickHart/status/1938…
