An informed, compelling and grim take on fall of English Literature in education and in our wider culture by @daisychristo.bsky.social. I hope there can be a cultural shift that sees the traditions of reading come back to the fore but I struggle to see just how right now.

What an honour to have a chapter in this fabulous book. Big thanks to @jofacer.bsky.social and the whole ResearchEd shebang

A brilliant blog which really hits the nail on the head of the pitfalls of using assessment materials to teach. [Effective teaching] "needs the space created by not imitating the assessment over and over"

Congratulations!

Suddenly realised I was an NQT 10 years ago! Being trained by the amazing @jofacer.bsky.social (lucky me) in an incredible school in Islington. Still feel privileged to work in this profession. Any other decennials celebrating?

I will be talking at #rED24 about professional development at scale. My premise is that most of it doesn’t have impact BUT there are some ways we can and should change that! Join me in K31 in session 2 if you want to know more.

Oh he basically is. You know, without the hubris and betrayal.

Amazing dept meeting yesterday discussing core elements of lit texts run by our fab HoD. Julius Ceasar - the tension between the threat of tyranny vs the threat of civil war, alongside the power of rhetoric. Love teaching English

This will be amazing.

We are going to be at #REd24 #ResearchEd National Conference.

Session 1, M23

Come along and find out how we’ve improved the work of English leads and quality of KS2 writing across a whole city and the research base for our work.

Def agree. So much quicker and easier to change a slide deck though (for all their flaws)

Oh gosh yes, that ending…

Congrats! Looks brilliant

…class. Booklet + visualiser can also trap me behind a desk when I need to be out, checking, praising, reading, responding…

I also (sorry) have never seen a booklet I’m happy to teach from, unless made by me, for one particular class. Not saying it doesn’t exist but… I aint found it yet

Reluctant to open this debate again, but I love/hate booklets. Keen to know how people get over the negatives:

Love - all the obvious things. Workload, collective planning, clarity, clear pathways etc.

Hate - so hard to adapt. Can add to workload when they’re not appropriate for my

Aahhh lovely blue skies and Catalan architecture ❤️. Also that book broke my heart

We share this every year on Teacher Tapp as it’s a great way to learn names at start of term

Looking 🔥!

Analysing education data with AI - David Weston Over on BlueSky, which suddenly become the main place where education discussion happens, a chance discussion has shown how powerful AI can be in analysing and interpreting data. Ben Newmark started a discussion about the need to abandon all use of predicted grades. In all the target grades chat there’s a fair few sensible people … Continue reading "Analysing education data with AI"

For all its shortcomings & limitations, there’s some impressive power in using AI to summarise and interpret. I gave Claude.AI a complex, dense table about “exam progression matrices” and asked it to interpret. Here’s the impressive thing that happened next. www.informededucation.com/analysing-ed...

A book titled “all about SEMH: a practical guide for primary teachers” the publisher “a speech mark book” is indicated bottom left. Top right is the series which is “all about SEND”. The book cover is half yellow with a green circle in the middle with the title in blue and white. The bottom half of the book is squirly patterns in yellows, reds, blues and green

Have you had a chance to read any of my All About SEMH books? Perhaps you want to buy them for your staff team or for your own CPD. If you’ve read them I would love you to write a review as it helps others make a choice on what they spend their money on. #SEND #SEMH #EduSky #UKed

Yessss! Go him!

The only thing I miss about the other place is my one claim to fame - an early follow from @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social

A very logical thing to do when hungry! Superb 👏

Nooooo omg I would not have held it together!

I LOVE this kind of thing, brilliant

Nooooooo…. 😱

Oh man the chaos! Sounds amazing

Gaaaaah

Brilliant
