Amazing response to this piece by Sir David - and it really deserves it!

We're hiring! We have a very rare (no one leaves!) teaching role at our school in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire West. We have amazing children, sensible policies, a great curriculum and a superb staff team. Lots of lookarounds this week. Please retweet!

What do teachers need to know about using data in the classroom?

Have a listen to Kieran Mackle and me talking about my little guide for teachers to using student data on #TDaPE

Big, big fan of this. Engaging in good faith, tons of respect paid, tentative, constructive, acknowledging complexity.

Listen to 'Desirable Difficulties with Jade Pearce and Isaac Moore, Mind the Gap, Ep.77 (S4, E14)' Brilliant episode with Jade Pearce and Isaac Moore (on Threads as isaacmoore7775) 🔥🔥 podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mindt…

Less than 2 weeks to go until the 2nd round of applications close for the West100! Termly conferences, leadership coaching, expert-led webinars and regional, national and international school visits:

This is cool. Hadn’t seen it before. Really drives home how relatively cheap a very large % increase in a small-ticket item like children’s services would be.

This was my favourite episode so far! Have a listen if you have time

WE ARE BACK

Join me, Amy Forrester and special guest Jon Hutchinson as we discuss his recent trip to the Uncommon Schools in New York. We look at T&L, curriculum, leadership, behaviour and more - listening to him was fascinating!

Please share 🙏🙏

Adam Boxer (find me on 🧵s) Amy Forrester Jon Hutchinson Loved this. Our trust is part of SW100 and our colleagues are evangelical about its impact. The NY visits were - by all accounts - incredible. A great scheme. Thanks Jon Hutchinson

📢New blog! The series is finally done, with part 3 titled:
'Is deliberate practice relevant to teacher development?'

The final part of my series on deliberate practice asks whether we can genuinely compare teaching to other 'performance professions'.

This is just one example of incoherence in the national curriculum and assessment when you look at it from an all through perspective.

There are plenty more…

This seems like a really sensible idea.

Parents tend to have a much better relationship with HV.
Your baby is already annoyed when the HV comes so might as well get the jabs done then.
Saves a trip to the doc!

My job means I’m lucky enough to speak to 100s of teachers & leaders in dozens of schools regularly, and I can reckon that curriculum reform which would be most popular would be to have less of it.

(I don’t necessarily agree, but that’s my read of the sitch)
