Reading Radical Candor and I like this quoted phrase from John Stuart Mills: "...(his) errors are corrigible. He is capable of rectifying his mistakes through discussion and experience. Not by experience alone." As teachers, just 'practising' teaching won't make us better at teaching. #edchatie

Any MFL teachers know what the situation is with the LC Spanish role plays for the 2026 cohort? #edchatie

Really good, thought-provoking post. Well worth languages teachers taking a moment to read.

While this piece probably resonates more with those who, like me, lean away from AI use, this is absolutely worth reading. Two paragraphs jumped out at me. This paragraph sums up just how problematic it could be to allow AI use in assessments. #edchatie

A short (2-minute) thought piece recognising the increase in discussions around AI use, and what that may mean for how we evaluate whether to use it in the classroom and make decisions on PD. Would welcome any response. #edchatie linguisticket.wordpress.com/2024/12/11/a...

One of my favourite Do Nows, especially for encouraging students to analyse. Mini-whiteboards when asking for answers uncovers which students have each misconception. Questions like "Why do you think 'B' is wrong, Tom" reveals the thinking behind the misconception. #MFLBlueSky #edchatie

This is an excellent piece for visualising the inherent inequity of home-based assessments. It also, I think, exemplifies how the students who will see the most benefit in terms of (supposed) stress reduction are those who have the means to do this type of assessment well.

For anyone in #edchatie who enjoyed Jennifer Buckingham's report into literacy instruction in Ireland and UK, her interview here with Ollie Lovell in the ERRR is also well worth a listen. Loads of really interesting (and complimentary) insights. open.spotify.com/episode/4jjv...

I like how writing helps me to clarify my thoughts on what I'm writing about, but I'm not sure about this one. So any feedback or critique would be welcome! A short-ish post on accepting failure in our teaching practice. #EduSky #edchatie linguisticket.wordpress.com/2024/08/20/b...

Based on a line that stuck with me from 'Psychology and the Teacher', a short post taking a granular look at when I think we should (not) praise. #EduSky linguisticket.wordpress.com/2024/08/22/p...

Well worth taking the time to read. Really good post.

This is great, and describes my experience so well. Routines are so important, and we need to think about how we establish and maintain them . Love the phrase 'valley of disappointment'; we've all been there!

My first contribution to #EduSky - a short post in which I argue that strong routines in the classroom require us to go beyond just getting out of the Valley of Disappointment. linguisticket.wordpress.com/2024/08/12/o...
