A question of questions What mix of question types is optimal for an assessment?

Lovely mention of @carousel-learning.bsky.social‘s “C Scores” feature in this week’s 100% Assessment blog.

I was once at a Plymouth Argyle game where the crowd was chanting “stand up if you hate the north”. It was directed toward the Exeter City fans.

The London DISCO just keeps getting groovier. A must for south east based school data enthusiasts.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Many thanks James!

From @carlhendrick.substack.com's (excellent) newsletter:

"Embedding small quizzes, asking students to recall material from previous lessons, or setting short retrieval-based tasks before assessments can meaningfully enhance learning."

That could be the @carousel-learning.bsky.social manifesto!

North west school data fans: come join us for an all new set of sessions in Wigan in November!

We are going to do Question Time next week, and would dearly like to highlight questions from BlueSky. If you've got any, drop them here or email me at adam@carousel-learning.com!

Overall, are you optimistic or pessimistic about the future of education in this country? Why?

I've been blown away by the response to Carousel Teaching, and am honoured that from September schools are going to be using our resources for whole-school CPD 🙏🙏🙏

Is that the target tracker logo? Are they shutting down?

Developing Carousel Teaching has been a labour of love from @adamboxereducation.bsky.social and the team. Doing classroom filming really well is a particularly fun challenge.

So happy that it's now about to see the light of day!

I’ve yet to see anyone wend anything other than the way.

AI has a lot to answer for here. Cover letters are basically dead as a useful sifting tool.
