Senior leaders aspiring for headship roles have now fallen to its lowest point in an annual survey ran by @naht.org.uk Leaders talk of how their work has harmed their mental health, led them to seek professional support and even leave the profession. www.tes.com/magazine/new...

Really excited about a day focused on Instructional Coaching with @ambitioninstitute.bsky.social. Love this coaching approach and the tangible impact it can make on a Teacher’s pedagogy and their self- concept as a professional engaging in meaningful, focused pedagogical chats @ietrust.bsky.social

I am excited to announce our new book, which pulls together all of different threads of what great schools do & celebrating them. We've explored curriculum, learning, behaviour, attendance, personal development, & leadership. I'm forever indebted to all schools I've visited & worked with.

Absolutely delighted by this impartial review of my book published in the journal, School Science Review (open access): www.ase.org.uk/system/files... #EduSky #UKEd #SciTeachUK #iTeachBio

In the 20+ years that I have been teaching biology I have come across many texts that purport to transform classroom practice and improve student outcomes. However, rarely have I been so convinced by the power of a new theoretical underpinning for a pedagogical technique such as the one presented here. Moore-Anderson provides detailed discussions of systems theory, cybernetics and variation theory and their relevance to the biology classroom. Alongside the explanations, he provides concrete examples grounded in the classroom and over 40
diagrams that can be used to teach key topics.

The book starts with explanations of the underpinning theories he has applied to his teaching. This can, at times, be heavy going, and although the ‘key ideas’ are highlighted it can feel like there is a lot of information to absorb. However, as the book continues the scaffolding becomes clear and the reader can see how these ideas build towards coherent classroom strategies. It may be tempting to skip the theory at the beginning of the book and jump to using the diagrams in lessons; however, to be most effective it is important to understand the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ behind these.

Although this book is specifically about teaching biology, there are ideas that are relevant to teaching all science disciplines and it may have benefited from a collation of the ‘key ideas’ and ‘assumptions’ presented as they apply to teaching and learning of all sciences or all classroom settings.

Overall, Moore-Anderson presents a well-reasoned and compelling argument for the application of cybernetics and variation theory to the classroom. This is not an easy read, but, in my opinion, it is a thought-provoking read and a book that biology teachers should invest time in, to consider the theories, key ideas and diagrams, and how they could apply these in their own classroom.

'Teaching is about responding to the emergent thinking in front of us'. This is an excellent post, making a powerful argument for why teaching resources 'need to be dynamic, interrogative'. In response to Emma's opening qu, I taught a poetry lesson on the last day of term (KS4) without the iwb...1
