NEW *Avoiding ‘Speed Camera’ Lesson Feedback* Referencing (and pondering on) an idea Jon Hutchinson talked about on the Mind the Gap podcast a while back curriculumteamleader.wordpress.com/2024/06/25/avo…

15 more RTs... 15 more to get 3 books given away. It can't be that hard, can it? 4 days to make it happen... If you've already RT'ed the original tweet, tag a few people in to push it past the 500 mark!

Really nice post from Pete on how lesson observers should apply the principle of 'seeking to understand' when observing and giving feedback.

A Festival of Education 🇬🇧 thread 🧵. We at InnerDrive are very excited to have been asked to curate the cognitive science strand at next weeks Education Festival. Here is who you can hear from over the 2 days…

I have been fortunate enough to have some research time with our year 8s. I decided to really develop their investigation skills over 10 lessons to create a video lab report. We also enjoyed app smashing to produce some incredible videos!

✨Still surreal to be holding my book in my hands! 🟣GIVEAWAY🟣 To celebrate, I'm giving away 2 copies to UK-based readers and 1 copy worldwide! To enter, retweet this post! Winners announced: 6th July. Good luck! #edutwitter #bookgiveaway #EAL #MLs

A 🧵about homework, learning and joy (yes, three words that can absolutely go together!). It is amazing what schools do: teachers sharing important knowledge, helping students see and understand the world around them, helping them to see learning as a joyful experience! 1/11

Retweets appreciated! Are there any leaders involved in teaching and learning who would like (free) coaching sessions over the summer to work through plans/ideas for the next academic year? More detail -

👀👀 What an opportunity 👀👀⤵️

Hiking in Norway was on my list from years. We were wiser to enjoy the journey on these hikes rather just the end. Had an incredible family time :) #reflection #sometimesitsmentalgame

Balloon Day today and what better gift than a wonderful endorsement from the brilliant Ruth Ashbee for my book, The Homework Conundrum! Pre-order your copy here: tinyurl.com/hwconundrum

Independent reading during school time (e.g., DEAR) has not had strong research support. New meta-analysis of 47 quasi-exp studies shows modest effects for reading motivation and word recognition, and no effect for comprehension. Article is open-access. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

I'd love to be a student in this classroom. The structure, calm and joy are what classrooms up and down the country need.

Year 6 have arrived safely for an exciting day at Harry Potter World 🪄🧙🏻Warner Bros. Studio Tour London SRA - English

Big day today with the #cogscisci conference!! If you want updates on the talks on scaffolding, behaviour, cpd, SEND then this account on the 'other more sky blue' place is worth a follow as that will be priority.

Really moving tribute by Adam Robbins (on 🧵and 🦋) for the greatly missed Dawn Cox, a teacher who exemplified the drive to always improve and learn. #cogscisci
