Thrilled to be speaking at the Third Festival of Education, Thailand. As in previous years, I’ll be presenting on the Great Teaching Strand with @evidencebased.education, but I’m also very honoured to be presenting with the legendary Tom Sherrington on mastering techniques and inclusion.

Re-reading this. For those who claim that the techniques in this book are motivated by a desire for coercive control or are “literally tyranny”, I would encourage you to read the preface and explore Lemov’s motives for yourself, even if you read no further #Edusky
Here's a 15 second teaser for #CoachingWalkthrus. It's a beautiful piece of work. Such a joy to have the opportunity to work with @mattteachcoach.bsky.social and @olicav.bsky.social on this book. You will want a copy! Out in September we hope.

Interesting task design discussion:
So true - am currently doing the NPQSL and it’s much better than the old NPQML I did in 2014. But so much of the content and tasks ignore my current context. Our cycle on behaviour, for instance, contained lots that just wouldn’t be necessary internationally.

My day at school today. Literally got the “Captain, my Captain” treatment from my Y13s in our last lesson, a lovely speech, and beautiful note and gift. Then, an earthquake 🥴 Still here at our Primary site with hundreds of kids.

Just on episode 3. Frightening.

Excellent summary of the first meeting of the expert working party, which I’m thrilled to be a part of.

What I’m hearing here is that in their “Big Listen” is that they’ve not listened to teachers’ and leaders’ concerns about separating curriculum, teaching, and outcomes at all…

About 8 years ago, @siobhanleahy50 and I prepared a Quick Reference Guide for Embedding Formative Assessment. It's now out of print, so the copyright has reverted to us, and we are free to share it with anyone who wants it: bit.ly/EFAQRG (pdf).
Ha! No worries 😀
