My own personal view on UK Education and bits n bobs. May 22, 2015. A few days after the general election the tone from Nicky Morgan suddenly changed. For the Secretary of State that was seen as a safe pair of hands leading up to the General Election; a politician who genuinely seemed to want to listen and engage with the profession. We had the return to ‘gun to the head’ education policy. Http:/ www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/k-12/VirtualAero/BottleRocket/airplane/rktcoup.html. Is it Mrs Morgan herself that will ...

#EducationFest 2015: a feast of pedagogical delights! | teachertweaks

Small changes can make a big difference! EducationFest 2015: a feast of pedagogical delights! I shouldn’t really have been there. After all, how could I justify taking two days off school to attend a jolly at Wellington College? For the record, Wellington College is Hogwarts without the wizards. Luckily, my head decided I was allowed two days out for good behaviour and as a present for the publication of our first book. My highlights of the festival. Things that have stuck with me over the weekend….

Small changes can make a big difference! Archive March, 2015. Ofsted preparation and workload: can teachers working in an RI school have a manageable workload with a school inspection looming? Aren’t we scaring ourselves by going overboard like this? This week I’ve been thinking about the rest of our staff. If I’m feeling like this, then how on earth is everyone else feeling? And so the little piece of paper stays on the board accompanied with a plaintive murmur ‘It’ll be ok once Ofsted have gone’. You s...

Recently supported schools & colleges. Research articles worth reading. TLC Education Services Limited. Professional Development at my academy – No Lesson grades EVER! I joined the academy as a member of staff in September 2010 and at that time worked two days a week. Prior to joining the school I worked for Somerset LA as a consultant and had been seconded to the school to help them out of the category: notice to improve. Why judge 3 hours out of a possible 700 hours? The insights they glean from this v...

Can we teach students how to make inferences? | Reflecting English
https://reflectingenglish.wordpress.com/2015/01/17/can-we-teach-students-to-make-inferences
In search of classroom answers. Can we teach students how to make inferences? January 17, 2015. Good readers make inferences. They dive beneath the surface of a text. They reveal rich seams of meaning not immediately obvious to the naked eye. They draw insightful logical conclusions by synthesising a range of information. They deftly translate their findings into finely crafted academic language. It seems sensible, then, to teach children the skill of inference (or whatever you want to call it:. Refer to...

The story of a book | teachertweaks
https://teachertweaks.wordpress.com/2015/06/07/the-story-of-a-book
Small changes can make a big difference! The story of a book. I think one of the reasons that working with Debbie was (and still is) so fantastic is that we go about things very differently. We worked together as ASTs a few years ago and if I picture the two of us in a meeting it would seem as though I wasn’t there half the time! So what led us to write a book together? Ell if he can do this why can’t I. 2015 is the release date for ‘Lesson Planning Tweaks for Teachers’ an important date of course but to...

February 16, 2015. February 16, 2015. Like many schools, we’ve been embedding growth mindset into our school culture over the last couple of years. Although I find the overarching message an attractive and useful one, I’ve been persuaded by a couple of blogs about how honest we’re being with children when we talk about there being no such thing as talent. In particular, @disidealist makes the difficult case. For excluding genes and background factors in the equation:. David Didau (@learningspy) questions.
