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

12 years ago I taught a firecracker of a girl. She was smart, funny and good at English. She didn’t have the best time at school. Today I saw her again in the audience of a keynote speech I was giving. Reader, she’s an English teacher. I couldn’t have been prouder of her.

That's a fair observation, but my point was that 'employers want something else' is not, in itself, a suitable justification for ripping things up. Employers know little (if anything) about designing effective approaches to the curriculum, assessment and accounability, nor would I expect them to.

I agree. The love of reading is values led. We don't insist that of anything else and reading is seen as one of the key 'virtues'. We can't make pupils into mini versions of us. Their world is not ours
