'Feedback: Improve the Learner, Not the Work'

'The most useful nudge to improve both feedback being used, with the bonus of reducing teacher marking, is to activate pupils for self- and peer-feedback.'

'Adaptive teaching: What is it anyway?'

'Regardless of deftly planned schemes of learning, teaching is not merely imparting knowledge in linear, formulaic fashion. Pupils are learning in different ways, at different rates & many pupils are failing...'

'I’ve heard it said before that yours can’t be a truly great school if the school down the road from you is failing, & it’s always struck a chord with me. Our moral obligation & duty extend beyond the walls of our own institutions...' David Clayton, Endeavour Learning Trust in Tes 1/2

'Crafting Great Sentences'

For pupils, practising one sentence brilliantly may be worth a hundred sentences written in haste. You can focus on:

- Sentence combining

- Sentence shrinking

- Sentence expanding
