Latest on our Substack - What kind of student feedback do teachers think is best? Turns out they are quite keen on summaries of their class's performance... We've created AI-generated "examiner's reports" to help them. substack.nomoremarking.com/p…

Great to see the acknowledgment of explicit instruction & synthetic phonics for the teaching of reading, front & centre @tempyheightsps It’s the best way we learn & while it’s not new, it’s exciting, visible & we can teach so efficiently using tech as a resource. @reerossi97

A trend-setting school in Melbourne’s north-east is spreading the word about a new literacy policy. The approach takes the guesswork out of learning and overturns teaching techniques that were first introduced in the 1870s. youtu.be/01MJjjtGiTw @JackieQuist7 #7NEWS

We've used Comparative Judgement to assess 2 million + pieces of student writing. It's a brilliant assessment method that's best used 1-2 times a year. One big question we get is: what should we do in between? How do we monitor progress in lessons? Today we have an answer!

There's currently a heated debate about whether smartphones & social media cause teen mental health problems. It's a fascinating debate with a lot of interesting data. But when it comes to deciding whether to ban phones in school or not, it's a bit beside the point.

Over the last few weeks, 1,052 primary schools have taken part in our Year 6 writing moderation task. In total, 11,368 teachers from these schools judged the writing of 47,307 year 6 pupils. The overall reliability of the judging was 0.89, which shows a high level of consistency.

The 🇦🇺 national project using Comparative Judgement to assess writing kicks off on Monday. We are moving to typed scripts for Yr 4, 6, 8 & 10. However, what we’ve noted in trials is that whatever medium, sentence level knowledge is still key. @daisychristo @nmmarking @NeilDefty
