I really want to share this latest edition of Edu Insights. Not about self-promotion but I think the work that is happening at Lord Wilson, a specialist SEMH provision, is quite remarkable and recording it made me feel hopeful. open.spotify.com/episode/5NO…
I love the focus on academic achievement, but also the curriculum choices that have been taken here, I love the commitment that staff are giving to taking students on international trips, esports etc. I just love talking to a leader like Nige. #educationalleadership #SEMH

A playful KS1 is not chaos or no instruction; it's not a lowering of standards or an invitation for an unravelling of curriculum and any formality. A playful KS1 is an informed and effective way of welcoming our children into their learning and a wonderful bridge from EYFS.
I think this is a very decent take on all things England, schools and edutwitter. Where do we take the debate next and flatten the hierarchy (again)?

This thread may be my swansong to eduTwitter.
It’s dead. We all know it’s dead. There are lots of reasons for this, and I’ll write about them at some point, probably on substack.
15 years ago this was the agora for a conversation about a fundamental reformation of education.

I took him with me to deliver Christmas cards early this morning and he weed on 3 ornamental garden statues and two Santa stop here signs 😣
I'm not as active on here as I used to be. Got harder to have conversations which actually went somewhere. So I've started having them in real life at @unisouthampton . And recording them. So yeah...here's a(nother) podcast in the giant podcast cloud. open.spotify.com/episode/3Dt…
I like talking to Christian. Not only his eclectic musical recommendations, but also because he is comfortable with nuance, sits with uncertainty & draws attention to limitations. He also has opinions & he makes me laugh. So while I'm bias, I think it's a good listen.
There's more coming from Edu Insights: I'll be talking with other researchers, teacher educators and school leaders, teachers etc. In terms of tone, think conversational, focused and not too long (because we're all busy people).

Especially if you hold CLT to be the most important thing for teachers to know, read through this thread by @cbokhove and discuss with colleagues.
Try debating practice: adopt contrary positions.
I've been reading Sweller's 2023 replication paper in which he described the changes to Cognitive Load Theory as a virtue. It's an interesting read, but I find the line of reasoning a bit peculiar. Let me explain.

Phonics target, attendance target, more reading tests; so utterly depressing.
I’m not one for bleating, but the world has changed. Schools are unrecognisable from 10 years ago: complex and scary needs, apathy, illness. Sooner we understand this, the quicker we can address it.
