Currently sitting at the airport in San Fran, waiting to fly home after speaking at the Reading League Summit. I can’t tell you how great it was. Panels of experts in their fields, often with differing views, discussing the finer point of agreement (and disagreement).

Latest from us. Whole-class feedback is better than written comments. But if AI allows you to produce both very quickly - then why not use both?
t.co
But my students like written comments...
Feedback that is accurate, helpful, and doesn't ruin your Sunday evening

My new book, Primary Reading Simplified, is released this Monday. Briefly, I'd like to explain why it exists, who I think will find it useful and where you can find it. >>

You can't use one assessment for multiple purposes - it gets pulled out of shape. That's what happened to GCSEs when they were used for all kinds of purposes they weren't designed for. Things are a bit better at secondary now - but what about primary?

Good points here on decline of literature (and humanities). I would agree that, being an international phenomenon, this is unlikely to be linked to any particular curriculum or assessment policy (and it’s not like the maths or science curricula have suddenly become more student-friendly).

Today’s poem is called ‘An Invention of Collective Nouns’.
An Invention of Collective Nouns
 
A reckoning of spreadsheets.
A distraction of smartphones.
A prattle of podcasts.
A mispronunciation of scones.
 
A clique of photographers.
A heard of precedents.
An enjambment of
poets. A grope of presidents.
 
A pile of haemorrhoids.
A bunion of personal trainers.
A bout of estimations.
A condescension of mansplainers.
 
A stroke of geniuses.
A spot of adolescents.
An embarrassment of Richards.
A collection [crossed out] correction of pedants.

The American teaching union AfT has a great journal, American Educator, with free summarised versions of some really seminal papers (Sweller, Kirschner and Clark, Rosenshine, Willingham, and Dunlosky are the biggies). Quick reads, snappy summaries, great to share with teachers

“Factor” in maths and “Factory” in not maths have the same root etymologically. In essence they both refer to components that build towards something else. Here ends today’s reading.
