NEW!! 1/4. The first one-pager in a new series is on GTT Dimension 1, Element 1 – Deep and Fluent Knowledge. Great professional development doesn’t just introduce new ideas, it helps teachers build, practise and sustain deep and fluent knowledge over time. There are six essential ingredients to help build expertise and translate it into sustained improvement: ✅ Get it – develop a secure understanding of the causal mechanics of teaching and learning. ✅ See it – build a clear picture of what effective practice looks like. ✅ Try it – rehearse and refine strategies through contextualised practice. ✅ Keep it – build fluency by repeating strategies until they become embedded routines and habits. ✅ Fit it – tailor development to the teacher, the task and the context. ✅ Own it – invest time, attention and effort in professional development so expertise can grow over time. This one-pager summarises the ideas and actionable strategies from @PepsMccrea's Developing Expert Teaching and the @EducEndowFoundn Effective Professional Development Guidance Report. Want a copy? Please repost! @EvidenceInEdu @ProfKime @ProfCoe

@ICT_MrP I thought I had early onset dementia - until I went onto HRT. Felt normal again, after that!

There's been a lot of discussion about differentiation & adaptive teaching: what they mean, how they overlap & differ? I really appreciated how this book by @RealCBD helps to clarify that thinking, offering practical advice & prompts for reflection. Another great book I would

I think a subtle but very real element of a teacher’s behaviour management craft is the capacity to maintain boundaries by noticing issues and communicating botheredness: a firm/kind/adult tone of voice; body language, facial expressions that say, with conviction, ‘no’, ‘that’s unacceptable’. It’s calm, deliberate, assertive. Can be warm or a bit stern or even cross if needed. But you need it, whatever the backup system is. Students should know that you’re going to be bothered about boundaries. Your personal disapproval should matter to them / it nearly always does! When kids say ‘you don’t mess with Ms Smith’ it’s because she’ll notice, she’s bothered and makes that absolutely clear - in the nicest possible way. I think this needs more explicit discussion and modelling in PD so it’s not seen as an ephemeral magic beans thing. I have met many ECTs who have this sorted already - but others need a ton of support. Sometimes it’s the noticing; sometimes it’s communicating the botheredness. It should be normal to discuss these things.
