Stop looking for a “root cause” behind poor attendance. It’s always the same, uninteresting answer: parents aren’t making them come.

A key takeaway from Manisha Gazula from Marsden Road Public School at Sharing Best Practice: "appreciating student mediocrity is patronising & has minimal impact. Success is the greatest motivator." We know students learn mostly the same. Let's raise the bar and teach them.

Sharing Best Practice Congratulations to the committee on a fabulous conference. It was a pleasure to present to a very keen audience of nearly 300 who gave up their Saturday to learn, promote and celebrate evidence based practice.

"Before this year, I didn't know a sentence could be good or bad." How can we get students to pay attention to the quality of sentences they read and write? Provide lots of good models, analyze them, and have them create their own with lots of feedback. Link in comment

No one actually likes rigorous education It's so much easier for everyone--parents, teachers, students, admin--to just give everyone an A and shuffle them along to the next grade fordhaminstitute.org/national/comme…

“Engagement” is all the rage in k-12 education, but it doesn’t mean what people think it means. David Didau explains.👇🏼 “The uncomfortable truth: is that real engagement often doesn’t look like fun. It looks like silence, or frustration, or long moments of effortful thinking.”

Sad to hear of the loss of #AllanAhlbergRIP His poetry books “Please Mrs Butler” “Heard it in the Playground” were actual life-savers when I started teaching. Having children I realised how wonderful his picturebooks and stories were. A great children’s writer and a big loss.
