I've been so excited to tell you about this one and now I can! I've been secretly writing an In Action book based on the work of Graham Nuthall and look, it is has a cover and a release date! It's a long way off yet, but do have a check it out... www.johncattbookshop.com/products/nut...
Book cover - Bennie Kara Nuthall's The Hidden Lives of Learners In Action, part of the In Action series edited by Tom Sherrington and illustrated by Oliver Caviglioli and published by John Catt.

I was working with a group of teachers from multiple schools last week: HALF of them are required to use Verbal Feedback stamps or write VF in books when supporting pupils in class. Is this the norm?! Seems like this message from the EEF feedback report is still not impacting on school policies…

If you’re not familiar with the Research Schools network, the following accounts are well worth a follow. Schools sharing evidence-informed practice through blogs, clips from the classroom, and more.

This morning we welcomed leaders from across the region to our first evidence briefing of the academic year… …and this afternoon we worked with leaders from Wigan schools on exploring the findings from the new EEF implementation guidance report. Thanks to everyone who came.

Today we launched our EEF pilot, ‘Thinking Mathematically’, to over 50 teachers from across the North West at Bolton Stadium. Tomorrow the roadshow hits York, and we’re in Kendal later in the week. Super excited to work with all of the schools who’ve signed up!

This looks like interesting and important work. Building a culture of community and belonging for children in our schools is vital, especially for more vulnerable pupils.
