🔍 How we share theory matters. Kat Howard reminded me: for busy teachers, evidence should support, not overwhelm. Our PD principle of Evidence-Informed Foundations is about clarity + purpose. New blog👇 elliothahn1.wordpress.com/2025/11/15/bui…

Brilliant blog from Elliot here. We should be asking teachers and leaders for feedback to consider how accurately research has translated to practice, or how it may have mutated along the way.

Favourite time of the week: PD + group rehearsal. Using Steplab we’re focusing on vocabulary teaching; breaking it down, modelling it & rehearsing it. Rehearsal isn’t about getting it right once… it’s about practising until you can’t get it wrong. 🌟

Great to see such a strong culture of rehearsal and shared practice at Manchester Communication Primary Academy 👏 Group rehearsals build expertise and strengthen practice, so everyone walks into the classroom knowing what great instruction looks and sounds like - every time.

Visiting a Steplab Hub is one of the best ways to see great PD powered by Steplab in action 👏 MCPA is welcoming visitors next Wednesday - a fantastic opportunity to explore their approach to professional development and coaching. Details below 👇

Great day at the Ambition Institute NPQSL conference with Forward As One C of E Multi Academy Trust, excited for the journey ahead. Always good to catch up with LEARN with FA1 team!

Another great Steplab Hub Day at Manchester Communication Primary Academy. Proud to share our PD model, how group rehearsal anchors real change, and how we use drop-ins + coaching to create coherence and drive improvement. Always learning. Better never stops.

Fantastic to see such strong engagement at the Hub Day at Manchester Communication Primary Academy 👏 Our Hubs across the country are opening their doors throughout the year. Full schedule + booking: steplab.co/news/steplab-c…

This time last week we were sat in a conference with a room full of aspiring / senior leaders embarking on their NPQSL. The conversation, engagement and networking was fantastic- such a great group led by Lisa Whittaker and Rhian Driver.

Great job 👏🏻 Elliot Hahn I would definitely recommend a visit to see Elliot in action! At Ridgeway High School our next Steplab Hub Day is Weds 18 March. Book now to see what we do that impressed Challenge Partners so much that they awarded us an Area of Excellence for PD!

Pedagogical Fit (and how it relates to adaptive expertise) One of my fav ideas: ↓

Excellent blog from Adam Boxer here. A powerful reminder that inclusive questioning isn't just pedagogy. It’s an ethical commitment. Every student. Every lesson!
