Nodding along while @bennewmark.bsky.social talks about the lack of evidence around many interventions in Section F of EHCPs (and in some cases evidence of a negative impact) and the difficult position that SENCOs and school leaders are in. #rEDYshire
I bumped into @kevinmcl.bsky.social who told me that @bennewmark.bsky.social was going to be controversial in his session, so now I’m here! #rEDYshire
Join me at #TeachersTalkConnect in Manchester on Saturday 14th March! It looks like it will be an incredible day. www.eventbrite.com/e/teachers-t...
I am so pleased that my colleagues get to listen to @jonnybid.bsky.social speak about reading for pleasure this afternoon. It’s a great way to spend one of our weekly PD sessions and I am looking forward to hearing about what the school does with it going forward.
Folkestone was a treat today! @frankturner.bsky.social @mralmonded.bsky.social
Very pleased with @mralmonded.bsky.social’s viewing choice for this evening.
I am really interested in this distinction between hints and prompts in backward fading from @taylorda01.bsky.social and how to encourage student thinking and self explanation. #TDaPEManchester
It’s been a leadership/coaching heavy morning for me, so I’m finishing off with some maths with celebrated resource author @taylorda01.bsky.social and backward fading, which is one of my favourite things to share with colleagues! This is a great way to finish my learning at #TDaPEManchester
I had to come and see @mradamkohlbeck.bsky.social and @scottinghatt.bsky.social because I love Coaching Unpacked and they are such deep thinkers when it comes to coaching! #TDaPEManchester
I’m excited to see @alexgingell.bsky.social at #TDaPEManchester after hearing such great feedback from London!
What a way to start the day!! Thank you @andrewpercivaled.bsky.social for sharing your thoughts and experience at #TDaPEManchester 1. Clarify your curriculum precisely 2. Use multiple routes to knowledge 3. Space retrieval over long periods of time 4. Supercharge your homework strategy
Was there really any other option for the #TDaPEManchester keynote?! @andrewpercivaled.bsky.social is talking about optimising retrieval practice this morning to get us all in the zone for some good old professional learning on a Saturday!
Here is @kieran-m-ed.bsky.social kicking off #TDaPEManchester this morning! I’m up in session one, but I won’t force you to sit on the carpet!
We’re two tired teachers on bag duty at #TDaPEManchester this morning so come and say hello!
Today is the day our pea gets married! 💛 I feel so lucky to be sat on the sofa 4,000 miles away watching this. She looks beautiful and I’m already crying 😭🥰
I have to say I have LOVED this session from @benkowitzprimary.bsky.social #TDaPELondon
Oh that’s rough. Ours are usually Thursdays so they’ve changed to the next two Saturdays and then a Friday!
PROUD FRIEND MOMENT!!!!!!!! I got home to some post and look what was inside @emmacate.bsky.social 🩷🩷🩷 I am so very proud of you, Emma. You worked your socks off to write this bad boy at the same time as being so poorly. You are an inspiration.
Can’t beat a matinee. So happy to finally see Hadestown with @mralmonded.bsky.social!
I had a great day at #rED24. Two weeks into term for me and I am buzzing about everything I saw and heard today. Thank you to everyone who came to my talk and said hello. 📷 @samcrome.bsky.social
Lovely to see @scottinghatt.bsky.social being mentioned by @lwilliamsjones.bsky.social. These questions need answering when we start implementing something new. Is it what we need? Do we have the evidence? How do we know it’ll work? Collect the data first.
He might be smiling, but these can be really tricky barriers to effective implementation in schools. #rED24 Time Expertise Capacity Cognitive overload Competing priorities @lwilliamsjones.bsky.social speaks such sense about school leadership. He’s my absolute SLT goals.
I’m often in the pub for session six, but I had to stick around for @lwilliamsjones.bsky.social talking implementation at #rED24
A slides-less @olicav.bsky.social at #rED24 This is very exciting. Happy to partake in his experiment. He wants us to think about how we listen. We’re all hooked.
I remember when @mralmonded.bsky.social was reading the research on grips and grasps and this made for a very interesting conversation at home! We’re always banging on about that tripod grip, but the research says if it’s a mature grip then it’s fine #rED24
My beautiful mum and sister are doing the annual 34k walk in memory of Lorna raising money for Suicide&Co today. So proud of these two 💛 You can donate here www.justgiving.com/page/paula-d...
Time for @mralmonded.bsky.social talking handwriting at #rED24. This will soon be a chapter in The researchED Guide to Primary Literacy!
@mrsmithnorwich.bsky.social very kindly let me sneak in for the last ten minutes of this talk on writing. Looking forward to catching the whole thing at another researchED soon!! #rED24
