@funkypedagogy.bsky.social Hi Jenny, I wonder if this would be helpful? Just published, aimed at non-specialist teachers in secondary. An overview of reading development and strategies that can help. With additional leader materials. 😊 Took several years to develop! www.gov.uk/government/p...

Genius idea during @englishassociation.bsky.social webinar with @openingdoors.bsky.social from @funkypedagogy.bsky.social Local residents and businesses purchase books for the school library from a desired list via local indie bookstore! Win win! 📖👏🏽

What’s that you ask for? An assembly? One with an uplifting but focused message for exam groups, challenging the tendency to dwell in dreamland, littered with late 20th century pop references and bookended with Shakespearean exegesis? I have just the thing: james-handscombe.co.uk/ambition/dre...

#EduSky #UKEd Split Attention. Often cited as the first example of the practical nature of CLT. Yet the solution of integrating text with the image really isn't as simple as asserted. When you consult the experts in visual instructions (as this professor & researcher) you find it…depends.

‘Inclusion is not about lowering the bar but ensuring every child has the support needed to reach it and beyond’ Blessed to have someone who really understands inclusion and writes about it. #edusky #uked
