There are lots of views about how to improve our education system. Not enough of them focus on the classroom. We pursue big structural solutions, when we should be looking at how to create calm, quiet, peaceful classrooms. New post, please share! carouselteachlearnlead.substack.com/p/calm-quiet...

Calm, quiet, peaceful lessons

In the pursuit of a better education system, rather than large-scale reform, we should start by improving teaching in every classroom.

I was making potato and leek soup and the recipe asked for five potatoes cubed. Even for potato soup, 125 potatoes seems a little excessive.

As I may have mentioned recently in a blog….this is my number 1 tip for ECTs. I stumbled across the original blog about it, thought it was worth a try and was blown away by the difference that such a small change could make. (For primary teachers, particularly good close of day!).

Lots of behaviour advice is bad. FLMOP isn't. It's a concrete and tangible strategy that any teacher can use to improve behaviour in their classrooms. Read and share 🙏🙏🙏 carouselteachlearnlead.substack.com/p/flmop

FLMOP

Getting better behaviour in the classroom isn’t unattainable. There are simple strategies that really work, and FLMOP is one of the best.

They'll be a lot of chatter about England's PISA results this morning, but we need to talk just as much about Wales. They rejected phonics and knowledge-rich curricula in favour of 'areas of learning', 'skills suites' and barely any testing. Wales is now 40 points below England in every domain.
