New on 100% Assessment Substack: Target Grades - Useful or Unhelpful? 100assessment.substack.com/p/target-gra... @head-teach.bsky.social

At lightening speed (for me), I've written up my talk from ResearchED this month. Can AI help with formative assessment? profbeckyallen.substack.com/p/can-ai-hel...

New from me. The Dangers of Diagnosis. bennewmark.wordpress.com/2025/09/02/t...

I know it’s just abridged and has to sound and it is swifty differentiated explained in the text. Alas: As long as we explain «AI» w/ human analogies of understanding, addressing or supporting, we keep ourselves from thinking it different. Worth reading the more complex text, #BlueLz. #lernenmitki

New on 100% Assessment Substack: Should Subjects Be Required to Report Attainment on a Common Scale?https://100assessment.substack.com/p/should-subjects-be-required-to-report @head-teach.bsky.social

I’m really looking forward to my ResearchEd National talk this year: 'Of Gods and ideas: how intelligence became artificial’. I’m going to chart how our conceptions of learning have evolved (or degraded) over three millennia — from communing with gods to acquiring and organising data.

Enjoyed interviewing @profbeckyallen.bsky.social for @ttradioofficial.bsky.social on AI and Schooling last month. The discussion threw up lots to think about (1/8)

Today @teachertapp.bsky.social and School Dash publish an update to their teacher labour market report, showing showing job adverts down 27% on 18/19 and -36% on last year.

I agree with Pepe here. For the very long-standing teacher pay system to work, two things must happen: 1. Unions have to accept the amount. 2. Government has to fund it. Anything else is chaos.

New today from 100% Assessment. What can we infer about a student’s knowledge when they answer incorrectly? @profbeckyallen.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/100asses...

Brilliant session on assessment, and how it shapes the thinking and actions of students, parents, teachers. Thank you, @profbeckyallen.bsky.social and the warmest welcome to @elprogramme.bsky.social

What happens when every subject assesses the same way? 📚⚖️ Schools strive for consistency, but does enforcing uniformity help or hinder subject progression? We break it down in our latest post: 🔗 100assessment.substack.com/p/what-happe... @head-teach.bsky.social

Our fourth post on 100% Assessment, a new Substack for anyone interested in school assessment by me and @profbeckyallen.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/100asses...

Why do different subjects take such different approaches to assessment and reporting attainment? This question will be a recurring theme in 100% Assessment, our new Substack, as we explore the diverse ways subjects shape their assessment practices. buff.ly/ZBPGD9D

I gave this talk on Artisan Teaching and AI over 4 months ago at #researchED in London. It doesn't feel too out-of-date, despite how fast the world of technology is moving at the moment! rebeccaallen.co.uk/2025/01/07/g...

In case you missed it, this @teachertapp.bsky.social blog by @profbeckyallen.bsky.social is a useful summary of life in primary teaching:

A reminder that I send a weekly newsletter that tries to bridge the gap between AI and evidence-based practice. I usually don’t promote myself, but if you’ve read it and found it useful, or you’re seeing it for the first time, please share. I’d love to hit 2,000 by 2025! news.teacherprompts.ai

He died as he lived, clicking “Forgot password,” then checking his inbox for a code, then putting in that code, then setting up two-step verification, and then waiting for the text message that doesn’t come, and then calling the 800 number, and then downloading an authenticator app, and dying.

Have you ever answered a survey question with what you think you should say rather than what you actually believe? You’re not alone! Find out how we uncover hidden preferences 👉

That must also follow in terms of staff QandA groups during ofsted. When staff are answering direct questions from an inspector in front of their peers. Does social desirability bias increase in group questioning? What about department meetings?

Do teachers always answer survey questions truthfully? A clever technique shows how social desirability bias can hide what people really think. Intrigued? Check out our findings 👉
