(I tried to post this thread a couple of weeks ago but I didn't get to finish it smh) For the last 8 years, over at Steplab, we've been working on a project to codify HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEACHING. A long-ish summary of what we've learned: ↓

🌟 Exciting times ahead for our midlands region of schools! Together, we're fostering innovation, collaboration, and excellence in education. 📚💪 #MidlandsRegionalLift #EducationForAll #collaboration Lift Schools @mrsrmurad

A library in every primary school - because every child deserves the chance to fall in love with reading! So far we've transformed over 1,000 primary school libraries and we won't stop until every school has one. That's why we're in parliament today. #LibrariesForPrimaries

This is such an important consideration when thinking about how learning happens. It's not about being a luddite or a technophobe or being wedded to the past, or not embracing change; it's about recognising that handwriting has a markedly different impact on the brain.

A lifelong love and proficiency for reading should be an entitlement for all. Books open worlds — and there’s no 'one way' to explore them. This #WorldBookDay, we encourage everyone to Read Your Way because reading for pleasure fuels curiosity, creativity, and confidence.

Year 5 are diving into creativity with a Pobble 365 Live Lesson to celebrate #nationalwritingday 📚Pobble Craig Nicholson Stephanie McAuliffe
