Technology is the only thing that has ever eliminated poverty.

When I say "due to unforeseen circumstances", this is what I mean

On my way home from my first ever researchED event #rED24. Really glad to have been able to talk #accountability and #CPDL with Philippa Cordingley and Bart Crisp. Exploring the possibilities of making evaluation part of staff training rather than part of accountability.

When Labour introduced Winter Fuel Payment in 1997, pensioners were more likely to be in poverty than working age people. Since then pensioner incomes have risen faster than those in work & the situation has reversed. The gap is projected to widen further still.

I see you. I have watched you. For a thousand years, I have watched you. Who among you still fears death? Who will not face emptiness?

This is indeed a problem. Put blunty, most pensioners I know have been righteously enthused by the prospect of benefits claimants being squeezed until the pips squeak and are often the first to mock such ideas as universal free school meals. Universality for me, but not for thee.

#rEd25 massive appreciation to Helene, Tom and everyone who helped make yesterday's conference such a success. What a lot of positive energy!

2/5 Obstacles impeding vulnerable Y5/6 pupils' writing progress were more complex/dynamic than for reading. BUT teams (teachers, leaders, LSAs) using RTI together built a 3D, actionable picture via scaffolded case analysis; interventions menu successfully expanded possibilities

3/5 Vulnerable pupils can learn to love writing AND make great progress in & through it very quickly through CCA based selection from practical menu of interventions; all pupils can benefit through using strategic monitoring tools.

4/5 Participants worried re lack of writing support in Y7. So we are revisiting RTI to support transition via CPDL for writing in Y6&& in partnership with LAs/MATS. It worked B4… A new CPDL programme for writing | Centre for the Use of Research & Evidence in Education (CUREE)

5/5 We’d love your thoughts/comments. Writing is under researched/supported. A school we’re working with was asked by an OFSTED inspector trialling the new framework what their approach to writing was. So they asked OFSTED what's known re what it should/ could be. A) Not enough…
