Y6 teachers/SLT When SATs results become available, download your pupils' papers from the portal - they make for a very useful tool in explaining how to/how not to answer questions - especially for the 3 markers on the reading paper.

They say you should never release things on a Sunday as engagement is rubbish, but I have finally gotten around to writing why I think we need a healthy does of scepticism around AI in Education. > t.co/y29zavcz4E Let me know your thoughts.

Some Y6 SATs advice... Teach pupils, that whenever there is a multiple-choice question, they must go through each of them and eliminate the wrong answers as well as looking for the right answer. Prevents a lot of errors in my experience.

What do you do when the headteacher says you have to move on with the tour, but you just can’t bring yourself to leave the classroom? That’s the position that I was in yesterday at West London Free School Primary. Year 5 were learning about the Napeolonic Wars and I was on the edge of my seat.

Can't wait to dive into this from @suchmo83.bsky.social I learnt a lot from his first book and I am looking forward to developing my knowledge base further.

In an ideal world, all forms of assessment and application of knowledge would be in the form of individual responses through MWBs et al. We want all pupils to learn so all of them need to practise, respond, discuss etc.

Charlotte should have said that Frankie was the traitor because she only counted 3 minutes to stop the coin task early rather than the full 5. I was screaming at the TV for her to make that play!

I'm not a class teacher and don't use AI but I still find it an interesting read. Worth checking out!

Morgs @morgsedu.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

For learning? Pupils emulating teachers' models, engaging in talk about the subject, answering questions correctly etc...all things that only evidence performance in the immediate but do contribute to knowledge retention over time.

Morgs @morgsedu.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

We can't see learning and certain things are poor proxies (although not in contradiction of), but learning has to manifest itself in some form of observable behaviour so it is the best bet we have.

Powerful graphic here from @pepsmccrea.bsky.social and @steplab.bsky.social PD becomes centred on techniques, but it is the purpose and principles that they rest on that matters most. The technique is simply a manifestation of them. Check out their new documentary if you haven't yet!

I wasn't particularly impressed by Bologna. Florence was lovely though.

Morgs @morgsedu.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

I've done bologna and whilst there we did a day trip to florence. You can train between them for quite cheap. Trains in general are pretty cheap, clean and spacious - many are double decker.

Personalisation does untold things to workload. It should be scaffolded, adapted and so on, but not 'personalised' in the way that many mean.

Morgs @morgsedu.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Great to see this model being used on teacher training! Just so you're aware - the labels for retrieval and encoding are on the wrong arrows and need to be swapped.

Morgs @morgsedu.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

Direct instruction vs discovery-based learning is a false dichotomy. Both pedagogical approaches have utility, but at different times in the learning process. It is not a question of which one should I use, but rather, when should I employ each one? morgsedu.wordpress.com/2025/01/11/a...

Are we being ‘instructionally efficient’?

I find that debates into methods of instruction often discuss ‘efficiency’ implicitly, though rarely by name. For the sake of this blog, I define ‘instructional efficiency’ as the speed…
