Why can pupils sometimes look at a question, which we know they can answer, and just seem to freeze?
Ahead of Monday's 3.45pm Maths webinar, we're looking at
@amarbeersinghg.bsky.social's 2025 blog exploring the q above and delving further π½ researchschool.org.uk/news/why-som...
Why can pupils sometimes look at a question, which we know they can answer, and just seem to freeze?
Join me next week as I explore this question and restart the maths work with @greenshawrs.bsky.social l!
To get you warmed-up, here's a blog I wrote: researchschool.org.uk/news/why-som...
What a stunning setting for #rEdEdinburgh today!
It was a privilege to be a part of an amazing line up of speakers! For anyone who'd like to see the slides you can find them on my blog lnkd.in/eZSf6iQP
Worth remembering when using teacher assessment to monitor standards within and between schools, that a human opinion is not a standard unit of measurement.
Less than a week to go!
Huge thanks to @mrsball.bsky.social, @singhamarbeerg.bsky.social, & Adam Kohlbeck, who kindly read the book prior to publication.
Did we mention the LEGEND that is @funkypedagogy.bsky.social was generous enough to write our foreword!?

A massive well done to @mrenglishmaths.bsky.social and @nimtassoc.bsky.social for putting together an absolutely phenomenal inaugural conference - big things to come for maths in Northern Ireland!!
#NIMTAConf
It finally happened! After 3 years on the circuit I met another sardar invited to speak at a conference, and it was none other than @theteacherwins.bsky.social !

"Assessment is at the heart of effective teaching and learning, yet it remains one of the most complex and often misunderstood areas within education." @marymyatt.bsky.social in conversation with @singhamarbeerg.bsky.social for @myattandco.bsky.social: marymyatt.substack.com/p/assessment...
Thank you as always to all of the people I've learnt from, the BMet team for inviting me, and Katie Cavill for sorting the booking! ππ½
What a fantastic message to come home to after a great day's training in Birmingham!
It's always a genuine pleasure to work with colleagues and provide a supportive space where they can challenge their own and each other's thinking and practice.
Tickets are available for the conference.
Registration for our conference is open - sign up now and spread the word.
@singhamarbeerg.bsky.social will be leading our keynote and some local educators will be leading workshops throughout the morning.
Tickets available at: nimtaconference2025.eventbrite.com
A day's worth of training for Β£10 or less??
Excited doesn't even begin to describe how I'm feeling about this!
Finishing off with a deep introspection of coaching with McKenzie from @graydin.bsky.social
#ReDBmouth
Next up, @mattteachcoach.bsky.social on coaching and the classroom environment, with a quote from fan-favourite Mary Kennedy.
#ReDBmouth
First up at #ReDBmouth was a very thought provoking look at assessment from @s-donarski.bsky.social - big takeaway being that "assessment" can't be separated from curriculum design and delivery.

Thank you Deb - your blogs were actually a big starting point for our work!
I hadn't considered this previously but I think you've hit the nail on the head - such a critical part of being mathematically literate (and also something that I think many expert mathematicians take for granted, further proving your point!)
This was a great read!
And so glad to see that the work of our team @greenshawrs.bsky.social influenced Jon's thinking - we've got a publication around this coming soon so if you're interested in disciplinary literacy, watch this space!
Something special is brewing for Sikh teachers in the UK...watch this space!
@mrsaujla.bsky.social

Inspired by the call to action around building schools where our pupils belong at #REND25, I've branched out from the normal T&L blog posts to write about something a bit more personal.

The poem "Singh song!" is part of the GCSE English lit syllabus, and in this blog I offer some reasons as to why I think it should be replaced, or at the very least thoroughly critiqued.
I'm particularly keen to get thoughts from English lit teachers, so please get in touch and share!
