New Post!
In many classrooms, lots of students aren’t listening, meaning they aren’t learning. Here we outline a few common mistakes and simple techniques for building classrooms where ALL students participate.
Please share if you can 🙏

A bit of breakfast reading in case you missed it yesterday. One about ITT & ECTs, but also for any teacher with that one class…

The first follow up in my ‘Good for all, vital for some’ series on clarity of expectations in the classroom.
This one is about how to get a class silent.

@beckyfrancis.bsky.social @alexjquigley.bsky.social would be interested in your thoughts
There are a few phrases in education that I really have a problem with. One is "when done well..."
This relativistic and unfalsifiable claim is applied to all sorts of pedagogical interventions, but it hampers criticality and growth.

So pleased to hear your views about merit points. I have felt negative about them for my whole career but thought I was in a minority of one. Always given for meeting basic expectations and most kids don’t care about them. Also impossible to award across a school with any consistency
