🚨Do you teach secondary? If so, Department for Education has published details of a short course that has been written regarding supporting reading in secondary. This is definitely worth looking at: gov.uk/government/pub… #reading #secondary #edutwitter


This Department for Education short course, developed by Jessie Ricketts, moving to @rickettslara.bsky, on ‘Supporting reading in secondary school’ is an excellent free resource with useful videos & more to build understanding for this crucial area: gov.uk/government/pub…


I haven’t seen the videos yet, but looking at the authorship of this course, and the overview of detail, this looks like it will be extremely helpful for secondary teachers and leaders looking at reading 👌 TheLiteracyCommunity

I’m enormously grateful for this framing of our CPD launched a week ago by Department for Education. It doesn’t provide all the answers but instead a starting point for school leaders and teachers to adapt according to their context and the needs of their staff, students. Thanks!!

Brilliant contribution from our Dr. Laura Shapiro @lashaps.bsky.social to the education of teachers on supporting reading govt guidance! A great example of our School's research and its real-world impact!
