Every school wants to improve outcomes for their students But professional learning is often the first thing to be squeezed when time is short. It's expected to drive lasting improvement, yet it's rarely given the time, design or evaluation that meaningful learning requires.

@profcoe.bsky.social and Raj Chande at #REd25 There are a *small* number of teachers who we can currently say are statistically (with 95% confidence) better or worse than average for student results… but even the ‘best’ teachers have individual classes who have negative progress, and vice versa!

I really enjoyed presenting at the Nurturing Great Teaching Conference with @evidencebased.education in Yorkshire. Terrific keynotes from @profcoe.bsky.social & @profkime.bsky.social. I’m really pleased delegates found the ‘What can senior leaders do to support middle leaders?’ sessions so useful 😊

I think this is the clearest and most authoritative explanation of attention and working memory I have seen. I'm not usually a fan of these diagrams, but the depth of explanation here is very rich. Is the choice of red/green (which many people can't discriminate) a deliberate metaphor?

After good conversations with @eleanorrrlouise.bsky.social and @rlrossi64.bsky.social I now think the root EHCP problem is: There are too many and lots shouldn't need them. Some do need them and will drown if they are taken away. We can't tell the difference between the two groups.

Decoupling lower & upper secondary curricula
This is because a principal end-goal of KS4 is a grade. But in KS3, the principal goal should be an invitation into the reality constructed by a subject's members.

@profcoe.bsky.social says he likes the explicit mention of inclusion, focus on PD and requirement to share best practice in the proposed system. BUT is concerned about the validity of judgements. The consequences are disproportionate to the amount of control schools have in influencing judgements.

Bang on. The effect of many educational interventions fades out (or is well on the way) by 2 years after implementation: edworkingpapers.com/sites/defaul... If you're feeling extra combative in an INSET session, don't just ask "what happens tomorrow?" ask "what happens in 2026?"
