What a profoundly passionate piece here (and I hate the word ‘passionate’ generally!) by Mark McCourt

New blog post. Third and final part of my series on assessment in history. Here I offer suggestions to help minimise the undesirable messages we communicate through assessment and to amplify the authentic voice of the subject. #historyteacher occamshairdryer.wordpress.com/2024/08/25/ass…

"Oracies, not oracy": a terrifically thoughtful, nuanced, and thought-provoking blog by Clare Sealy. primarytimery.com/2024/08/25/ora…

If you are looking for a comprehensive and practical guide to applying ideas from and cognitive science to teaching English, my book may be the resource you're looking for.

Agree. Super interesting on emerging themes from recent research (and in only 13 min). Incidentally, I recommend Peps’s Evidence Snacks. Do subscribe.

If you're a teacher and heading to the ResearchED National Conference in London on 7 September, I'm very much looking forward to seeing some of you there. Thanks to Tom Bennett OBE for the invitation to talk. I loved it last year. More details here: researched.org.uk/event/research…

As we are publicising our #researchED talks at the national conference on 7 September, a note to say that I will be presenting one-man role plays of a range of behaviour scenarios including beating myself up like the guy in Fight Club. Join me!

If I can’t prep that in time I’ll stick to the links between reading problems and behaviour problems. Join me!

THIS YEAR'S WEBINARS ARE LIVE!! First up is Behaviour Management - covering simple and effective strategies to improve behaviour. This year I've added massively discounted tickets for ECTs. More info and other webinars at the link, please share 🙏🙏 achemicalorthodoxy.co.uk/cpd/

This is really insightful. 3 fantastic contributions with real insights and examples. Special mention for Phil Stock whose humility shines through. Had missed his great blog on ‘beyond buy-in’ - it’s great. researchschool.org.uk/greenshaw/news…

This is truly excellent. Peps is someone I really admire and his ability to synthesise complex topics into easy digestible prose is wonderful. He is one of two I always wanted on my podcast. Such a valuable resource to education

I have recently written a new curriculum for 5-18 mathematics. I think the approach to curriculum design is unlike anything that currently exists. I also think it is precisely what we need. I will publish a full discourse shortly. But first, I would like to stress test my

ASSEMBLERS ASSEMBLE. Anyone that can get to the venue to help Hélène Galdin-O'Shea and the researchED legends set up, please do, because BA have stranded me north of the wall until this evening. YOUR PROFESSION NEEDS YOU

RoUgH'nReAdY summary of my presentation at ResearchEd National Conference #rED24 ↓

Had such a great day today at #rED24: My favourite things from this year: Peps on brain gym; building belonging through shared social norms and the power of shared norms between staff … Neil Almond 🇺🇦 on letter formation diagnostics- can they copy x - if not look deeper.

Safe travel home to everyone who came, participated, presented, helped at #rED24. Special thanks to sponsors, to Parliament Hill school staff and the catering team. It’s been a blast. See you all next year!
