📢Exciting news at Dixons! We are launching our new flexible working plan which will come into effect in the next academic year and includes a nine-day fortnight for teachers! Find out more here: joindixonsat.com/641/flexible-w… #FlexibleWorking #Teaching
So I'm like why you be talking about all this jazzy fancy stuff that you read about somewhere when you've got 70% of kids who go through an entire day without participating in class questioning? >
Given recent events why are practicing leaders still prepared to inspect? Beyond the inside advantage, what's the motivation? genuinely intrigued. If you wanted to change form within,simply stop and the change would be immense.
I worry the current and next @Ofstednews regimes just can’t pull back from their sense of righteous tough-talk conviction they hold people to account- despite inspection being an utterly flawed bias-fest with appalling consequences. They’ll spin, deflect, fudge. It won’t stop.
Been thinking about this all day. I don't say it lightly, but I think Amanda Spielman should resign.

Everything about this speech is so disgenenous. She's chosen 2026 because that's when the secondary school population is due to peak before falling. The projection for primaries is a 150k drop over the period.

Interested in Meaningful Learning (who wouldn't be) - Then I wholeheartedly recommend reading Sarah Cottingham's new book Ausubel's Meaningful Learning in Action. It's a brilliant addition to the quest to make better learning decisions. @overpractised @teacherhead @MaryMyatt
Really enjoyed this from the brilliant @overpractised Particularly helpful when thinking about planning.
Nobel pre-loved uniform pop-up shop is underway and open until 4pm. Lots of lovely stock available.
Had a lot of fun putting together a suite of sessions on instructional coaching. The first four sessions are available now. More to come! Hope it’s helpful if you’re considering or sustaining your PD offer.

The ongoing impact post-pandemic on learning loss is worrying. Particularly, the worsening of educational inequalities. But it's good to see progress in reading outcomes. Schools need support to allow every pupil to flourish, especially those socio-economically disadvantaged.

Petition: Urgently review the current Ofsted Framework and associated methodology petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6350…
If Ofsted were to be reformed the following would be good moves: - An annual safeguarding health check - A financial health check - A school improvement discussion, where priorities are reviewed, with actual support given where necessary - No gradings

Yesterday at @researchEDBrum @Barker_J and I spoke on Powerful Culture - Cultivating the Enabling Conditions for PD. Short thread with an overview of our main ideas…inevitably simplifying complexity into tweets but we hope to write more on this soon.
@MrTaylorMaths2 @P_A_Kirschner On motivation, one of the things that Paul and I were keen to stress is that we have the causal arrow the wrong way around. We tend to think that if we motivate students first then that will lead to achievement, but the evidence points to the fact that it's the other way…

Great to see @TFAmbassadors at @educationgovuk this week to discuss flexible working in @TeachFirst partner schools. We want schools in low-income communities to be the best to work at. Thanks for sharing your insights on pioneering flexible working!
I've been thinking of *barriers to learning* (of which there are many!). Here's three barriers from a memory perspective:🧵
🚨 *NEW* paper from folks at Harvard Provides first causal evidence on effects of rehearsal vs reflection for improving teaching. (AND what weirdly happens when we combine both) ↓
@joharrop1 @Team_English1 We define 3-4 key quotes / ‘moments’ for each poem + attach them to key images and we teach versatile vocab that they can use to unlock big key concepts. Here’s a booklet w/ knowledge organisers + examples of images + quotes + model essays: drive.google.com/file/d/1-feDku…
Tomorrow is the first of our new T&L meetings. I feel like it’s the moment I put my money where my mouth is and show what I think really great CPD looks like. 🧵 Here’s an attempt to distil the thinking behind it and why it took a year to get this point.

Hi everyone👋🏻 Ofsted released their Geography subject report a fortnight or so ago. I've made notes on it and made both a written and visual summary which can be downloaded from my website if you'll find it helpful🌍 marcrhayes.com/post/a-summary…
SUMMARY • Teaching is one of the hardest tasks ever devised. • However, from the perspective of (past) students, it looks easy. • This creates an unhelpful paradox for our profession, which we must collectively work to redress. 👊
Arriving at an action step should be a collaborative process, but grounded in a shared understanding of the principles of excellent teaching. The coach has the benefit of capturing multiple data points. The teacher has the benefit of being there all the time.
