I am delighted to have a new article published in the @tesmagazine.bsky.social today: www.tes.com/magazine/tea... Inspired by a recent conversation with a middle leader, it’s designed to explore the pedagogical question: does anything go?

Why can’t we agree on what great teaching looks like?
Given all the research evidence that we now have on effective teaching practice, all teachers should share the same pedagogical principles, writes Bruce Robertson
