GCSE results are out tomorrow. The data tells you real things, and it can't be trusted on others. Some thoughts for middle leaders on what to actually claim from your results before drawing conclusions: enserm.substack.com/p/what-y…

Drawing on Berliner's research on expert teachers, Priestley on teacher agency, and Stenhouse on teacher professionalism, I make the case that principles beat practices every time — and that the stakes are higher than we think. open.substack.com/pub/enserm… 3/3

4 ways to build pupils' schema for new vocabulary: link to prior knowledge, use in speech, use in writing, and revisit meaning in context. We think with words—reading, speaking and writing shape who we are. Find out more: impact.wales

***GREAT TEACHING FRAMEWORK*** Over the last few months we have been working on developing our great teaching framework to ensure every student experiences consistently high quality teaching. Our framework has four key drivers of excellence: ✅ Subject knowledge ✅ Relationships ✅ Routines ✅ Hard Thinking The framework has six principles, key components and linked techniques from @WALKTHRUs_5, @teacherhead, @olicav and TLAC @Doug_Lemov. We have mapped the techniques to the Great Teaching Toolkit. For each technique, we have codified what it means and our teaching and practice labs CPD sessions allow staff to get it, see it and try it. We then use @Steplab_co for our coaching model to keep it, fit it and continue to try it through deliberate practice. #TheLongdendaleLegacy #GreatTeaching

We’re often fooled by what looks like effective teaching - charisma, energy, confidence - but engagement isn’t learning. Great teaching requires both subject expertise and the ability to make complex ideas clear to novices. open.substack.com/pub/davidd…

Awesome GCSE resource alert! We've done some database magic🪄to get the distribution of exam questions in each spec (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas) by granular skill. For Edexcel this covers the last 24 years of papers! Check it out: docs.google.com/spreadsheets… – at Kingston upon Thames, London

A perfect summer role particularly for a uni student doing something maths-ey, but all applications welcome. A mixture of reviewing our Question Generators, some admin of my videos and customer support in Sept. Work with us! charityjob.co.uk/jobs/dr-fro…

I think this is important enough to say again: if your school doesn't allot a *minimum* of an hour a week to curriculum then curriculum is not being taken seriously 1/7
If department aren’t given a minimum of an hour a week, schools are not taking curriculum seriously
