Should we stop Oxbridge undergraduate teaching? @KuperSimon of the @FT certainly thinks so. He went to Oxford at the same time as Johnson. Kuper’s book ‘Chums’ is worth a read. | Times Higher Education. timeshighereducation.com/new…
A fascinating series of observations on the way we assess in England.
"There are some methods of assessment that I believe are never worth it; continuous assessment is one of them."
This interview with @dylanwiliam is the one thing you need to read today. Sensible, informed and provocative (in the right way).

By any measure, @thetimes have huge a contribution to the education debate. Much here segues with our thinking. We look forward to debating this and making our own contributions. We welcome others to join us.

Excited to have signed up for this collaboration between @school21_uk & @_TotalEducation. This promises to be a great discussion about the challenge of educating within an exam-dominated system. Great to have a pupil's perspective in the discussion.

An interesting proposal in Scotland. Reduce all teachers’ contact time by a third and increase the workforce by less than 10%. Do the numbers add up?
Scottish leaders plan to reduce teachers' daily contact time by an hour and a half to give them the 'time they need to lift standards'. But is an army of new teachers needed to make this happen? And how would it be funded? @Henry_Hepburn finds out...

The @educationgovuk and the @NEUnion not seeing eye to eye on 2030 academisation targets. But the final question from the @EduPolicyInst seems to address the salient factor: what actually makes a high-performing MAT?

Schools in the U.S. and elsewhere are increasingly teaching social and emotional learning skills. Many create a designated class for talking about feelings or focusing that attention only on the most troubled kids. @LindseyTanner @AssociatedPress

Life after Gibb and Gove? @WalkerWorcester takes steps to let the History syllabus look outwards. What might this approach mean for the rest of the curriculum?
