If you are an educator, you need to see this: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Not only is Katie an expert in this area, she is a lovely person as well. She is even infinitrely patient with an unsociable pain like me!

This is a talk from ResearchEd National in 2023 - an intro to the world of home education, what we do know, and what - in my view - would be interesting to find out. If you are like me and prefer to read (and skim if need be!), here you go: learnwhatyoulive.substack.com/p/home-educa...

Imo the main reason #edutwitter hasn't moved here is because the DfE, Ofsted and other government departments don't see it as a useful form of communication with people who work in public services. It's a blank spot in their ability to understand the situation and personally I think it's a shame.

I'm running a webinar on adaptive teaching on 5th November. Loads of practical advice about inclusive approaches to teaching. Pay what you can to attend. Please share. Thank you! #EduSky www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-ultima...

When I first got into research-informed practice, I was starry-eyed at its potential. Now, it's just a complete mess of egos and dogma. Completely disillusioned by the general atmosphere if it.

Stop worrying if people like you. They don’t…

What a cesspool of a society we have made for ourselves. And now we have to watch the worst of humanity stir that cesspool, allowing the most rancid of faecal humanity to rise to the top. What have we done?

Thank you @collegeofteaching.bsky.social for my Certificate in Evidence informed Practice! Time to start the next one 😁

Isn't it time England had a bank holiday to celebrate the successes of the Lionesses and Roses?

One of the most important, but perhaps underestimated questions for teaching and learning: 'Who should be reading aloud in class?' alexquigley.co.uk/who-should-r...

Breaking news: Tommy Robinson set to organise an emergency nationwide demonstration after the MET office reported that Britain might have an Indian summer. (Had to be shared after seeing it doing the rounds 😁)

Can't help but think that using AI in schools at the moment is like letting someone into a Nascar with no experience and a basic driving licence.

This is a really useful blog from Oracy Cambridge and researchers from the University of Surrey on assessing oral language. This is a real practice gap. 'Speak Up, Measure Up: Building Better Tools for Evaluating Classroom Conversation' oracycambridge.org/speak-up-mea...

Well, England won't get revenge over the Black Ferns, but the best two teams in the world in the RWC final? Glorious.

Got mine. Science. Definitely a good read 👍👍👍

Primary subject leadership webinars! We’re holding a series of webinars for primary subject leads. They’ll dig into the how what and why of the job, as well as subject specific nuggets of wisdom. We’ll kick it off on Oct 15th with all of the authors of the book series. doodle.com/sign-up-shee...

New post Sounds boring, but I don’t think it is :) open.substack.com/pub/birmingh...

After a hiatus, the Working Class Leaders in Higher Education Network is back with a bang: delighted to kick off with Prof Maria Delgado, Vice Principal at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. Details below. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/working-cl...

Flagging my home ed and SEND slides to @phoenixedsarah.bsky.social @bennewmark.bsky.social @oldmanteacher1.bsky.social @elliefahy.bsky.social @sophiacollins.bsky.social @rethinkingjames.bsky.social

@learnwhatyoulive.bsky.social hope you had a good day mate. Sorry I didn't come and find you - needed to hide in my shell a bit. Hopefully see you at anothet ine at some point.

Looking forward to speaking at researchED National Conference this weekend at Parliament Hill School. My presentation will be on driving school improvement. I am presenting session one in room M30! More information on my website: www.miriamhussain.education/events

Room K08, session 1 at ResearchEd on Saturday - join me to investigate what the data, from official sources and from parents, says on the question “Are SEND needs driving an increase in children being home educated?”

OUT NOW It’s publication day for the first two books in the How To Lead It series for primary subject leaders. The science edition by @kirstysimkin.bsky.social and English by @triciamoss.bsky.social and @missis-scs.bsky.social are available to order. www.bloomsbury.com/uk/series/ho...

Just finished rehearsing for researchEd next week. I do hope I get this right 🤣

1/ This year I’ve lived in the margins of others’ work: Willingham, Sweller, Chi, Counsell, Hirsch, Myatt, Sealy, Ritchhart, Cremin (and more). They rarely align neatly. I needed a way to hold them together in my own head - not to claim the last word, just to orient myself.

#UKEd #EduSky I've 2 copies of the Coaching WalkThrus book to give away at the #rEDNatConf next Saturday — one in the morning, one afternoon. Just approach me, telling me the 5 stages of the S|T|A|R|T model, as used in the @WALKTHRUs_5 Case Stories. First with correct answers get the books.

Final touches going on for my ResearchEd presentation. If you’re at all curious about home education and SEND, and how - or if - the two are linked, I think you’ll find some food for thought here. With the data to back it up!

It isn’t more work! It isn’t more work to create a curriculum that is both energising to teach and full of engagement for our classes. /1

NEW BLOG: The Story of the Individual: Why Exam Results Days Tell Us Nothing www.emaths.co.uk/blog/general...

How fascists use black-and-white thinking to win youtu.be/Ggca48_uYN4?... Fascists and far-right politicians define an 'other' group in society and then blame them for all its problems. I explain why this tactic is so effective – and so dangerous.

I'm loving all the England flags up. We need to have a bit of pride, ownership and hope in England - the Lionesses and hopefully the Roses will show us that. But don't use our flag, my flag, as an excuse and a symbol of your vile hatred an ignorance. You can never truly be English if you do.

Really practical helpful read for parents & carers preparing for transition @collegeofteaching.bsky.social #GarethMorewood #DebbyElley
