Schools Week have devised a quiz! Higher or Lower! Can you spot which statement in the Ofsted framework is for the higher grade?! schoolsweek.co.uk/ofsted-quiz-...

Ofsted quiz: Can you spot a ‘strong’ rating from a ‘secure’ one?
Ofsted's proposed 'toolkits' have been criticised as being too unclear - but do they make sense?

2/5. I hope this says more about the subjectivity of the criteria and less about my leadership (or literacy)!

Great quote from @dylanwiliam @CharteredColl 'If we direct our energies not on evaluating teachers but on improving them, we are far more likely to improve the quality of education that our pupils receive'

I found out recently that my final NPQH assessment will be marked using comparative judgement. Knowing that each assessor will spend no more than 2 mins reading my work makes me feel that it is not worth spending too much time sweating over it.

I can't bear directors who think it is acceptable to stake a claim on two and a half hours of my life to watch their film. I am 100% with you on the 1hr 45mins. That way, I am often still awake to see the ending

I'm getting some pushback on my post about banning smartphones. Lot of it is "this is a moral panic don't ban stuff it'll be fine.' A key thing to understand here though is many young people themselves don't like what phones are doing to them. This is different to rock music or video games etc.

“Infinite” in maths and “definite” in not maths are related in that definite stems from “bounded within limits” (think “defined”) and infinite means unbounded without limits. So now you’ll never spell “definite” incorrectly again. You’re welcome. 😉

Golden Silence
There's something magical about a silent classroom. Students are focused, heads are down, pens are busily scratching away. Participation Ratio is high, and you can almost feel the learning in the room...

Turn and Talk is very popular right now, I see it in most lessons I go to. HOWEVER, in 95% of cases I watch it and think "that lesson would have been better without it to be honest" Why? 👇

One of the many great points made by @pepsmccrea.bsky.social at #REd24 yesterday was that in the dark days many of us were enthusiastically doing brain gym / VAK / discovery learning but we were unable to identify that it wasn't a good idea. Evaluating whether teaching is effective is hard.

How good is @pepsmccrea.bsky.social? So many things to take away from his presentation today. I hope I can do it justice when I share my reflections with colleagues next week.

Massive thanks to @tombennett71.bsky.social and the team of organisers for delivering #REd24 today, as well as the presenters who have left me inspired and refreshed. Bravo! 👏👏👏👏

Totally agree. @priteshraichura.bsky.social was so inspiring. His superb modelling demonstrated how 100% attention by 100% of pupils 100% of the time is possible.

Love this from @mrarobbins.bsky.social for 2 reasons: Getting an insight into @pepsmccrea.bsky.social's excellent session today and reading about the impact #rED24 can have on practice. Also, Adam's session on prior knowledge was excellent and has lit a fire in my mind to try and do that better!
