So long and thanks for all the fish.
I've pretty much completely moved to BlueSky now.
Find me there. Just search my name.

ALT Every year I set myself a teaching target. I start small – usually just one class, usually in a lower year group. To add accountability, I tell the group exactly what I’m doing and why and ask them to prompt me if I stop doing it. Beyond that, I don’t force it – if something works well, I naturally start doing it with my other classes. This is what happened – dramatically quickly, actually – with visualisers.

Inspired by @EnserMark's latest post we've blogged too. If this sort of granular nerdery is your sort of thing, you might be interested in our ETP programme.

News! From September Ben Newmark is taking over as Director of The Knowledge Hub. We're a network of teachers and leaders sharing evidence-informed solutions for persistent problems faced by schools. We run two courses - the Exemplary Leadership and Exemplary Teaching Programmes.
My wife is a trustee of @CarersWorldwide an international charity supporting unpaid carers. It's tough here but where there are minimal resources its often intolerable. We'd love it if you donated at Christmas - the money is needed and will be well spent.

Ben gave this talk to our @CofE_EduLead Flourishing Trusts Network last week. It’s visionary, pragmatic, challenging and encouraging.
If you’re interested in ways we can prioritise the vulnerable and the reasons that we must, then take a read - it was electric in the room.

Hope as part of Labour’s
Curriculum review they look to Scotland and learn from the significant mistakes that have been made there and what not to do. Both falling standards and a widening attainment gap for kids from disadvantaged backgrounds is truly depressing.
These looks like disastrous exam results.
The pass rate for National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher have fallen to astonishingly low levels.
The attainment gaps in all three have increased.
