#UKEd #EduSky Wrong prediction — especially with high confidence — is preferable regarding its learning potential. Ouch! I see this objectively, but subjectively, it hurts. Of course, and rightly so. Thanks, as ever, to the wise @EfratFurst .

#EduSky #UKEd An oldie from 7 yrs ago; a #rED event somewhere in Europe from the astoundingly wise & productive @P_A_Kirschner. Quite appropriate timing given the recent launch of Instructional Illusions.

Why I prefer formative action over FA. Too often, “formative assessment” turns into assessment without grades and then we focus on tools. Formative action is about how you ACT on the information. What am I curious about? What misconceptions do I expect? How will I respond when I see them?

The man who gave us the free internet is fighting to reclaim it from tech giants. Bluesky offers what he envisioned - user control, not corporate manipulation. Educators: are you here? What would convince others to come back to give it a proper go?

@valentinadevid.bsky.social making it clear that these formative action processes need to be top-and-tailed with a) ensuring pupils have a really clear sense of what good looks like, and b) a focus on how meaningful and useful feedback is given.

Op zijn humorvolle wijze neemt @rkneyber.bsky.social ons samen @valentinadevid.bsky.social mee in zijn Keynote over #formatiefhandelen. Hij benoemt o.a. het fantastische boek van Graham Nuthall:The Hidden Lives of Learners. Leren is ook op zaterdag zo geen straf! @researched-nl.bsky.social

"Geconfronteerd met de kritiek van de deskundigen blijft het CvTE erbij dat de toetsresultaten goed vergelijkbaar zijn." Dat vat deze uitgebreide analyse van de problemen met de doorstroomtoets aardig samen. Een overheidsclub liegt/lacht de problemen gewoon weg. www.volkskrant.nl/binnenland/d...

Doorstroomtoets moest voor gelijke kansen in het onderwijs zorgen, maar bereikt vaak juist het tegenovergestelde
Maandag gaan basisschoolleerlingen weer zitten voor hun doorstroomtoets, die is ingesteld om kansenongelijkheid te verminderen. Na één jaar blijkt het tegenovergestelde het geval, laat onderzoek van d...

Such an amazing session! Huge thanks to @joshpd.bsky.social and @ollielovel. Watching the video of Josh coaching in action was inspiring—it really pushed me to reflect on my own coaching skills and gave me some great confirmation along the way. Loved it! 😃 #formativeaction @steplab.bsky.social

Had a great time in Ipswich with my wonderful colleague Valentina Devid, to discuss how formative action could be helpful for sixth form. Lots of opportunities in our opinion: get a good feel for the starting level of students, speed up the instruction process, and improve on constructive alignment!
