Book cover - Bennie Kara Nuthall's The Hidden Lives of Learners In Action, part of the In Action series edited by Tom Sherrington and illustrated by Oliver Caviglioli and published by John Catt.

I've been so excited to tell you about this one and now I can! I've been secretly writing an In Action book based on the work of Graham Nuthall and look, it is has a cover and a release date! It's a long way off yet, but do have a check it out... www.johncattbookshop.com/products/nut...

Huge fan of Nuthall’s work so will look forward to reading this.

Yes.

Great to be part of this today.

I’m a big fan. I use it multiple times every day so definitely worth it for me.

There’s a lot to be said for devices that do one thing really well. My Kindle and my Remarkable digital notebook are my most treasured devices! And they both do one thing really, really well.

I had no idea there was a new Murakami 😍

I was too! 😩

All of the ones expected to evidence verbal feedback were primary. It was an NPQ course so cross phase.

The Trouble with Giant Ants: Scaling up Implementation

In my latest post for @bradresearchsch.bsky.social, I've written about some of the challenges of scale-up in schools.
researchschool.org.uk/bradford/new...

I was working with a group of teachers from multiple schools last week: HALF of them are required to use Verbal Feedback stamps or write VF in books when supporting pupils in class.

Is this the norm?!

Seems like this message from the EEF feedback report is still not impacting on school policies…

We’ve gone to a blend of the two for this year: half F2F and half online.

If you’re not familiar with the Research Schools network, the following accounts are well worth a follow.

Schools sharing evidence-informed practice through blogs, clips from the classroom, and more.

A great read at full price: but for 99p it’s a steal!

Don’t fancy lunch duty today with that wind speed 😬💨😂
