ICYMI: ⚠️New Post: Attention ⚠️ "What we attend to, we amplify." Attention is an element of school leadership. Are we considering the attention of school leaders? How often is this spread across multiple areas? Read by thoughts below: researcherteacher.home.blog/2025/08/17/l...

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays. Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088...

If you're at #CogSciSci tomorrow, do consider coming along to my talk on Embodied Cognition, and what it looks like in the Science Classroom. It's also about elephants, rockets, ASMR and "buono!" Be interested to hear your thoughts & ideas -lots of interest in this in @theeef.bsky.social RSN session

Who's coming to the @cogscisci.bsky.social conference? Here's something to whet your appetite (tickets still available): open.spotify.com/episode/7Dg4...

At #CogSciSci Surrey I'm looking forward to talking about how cognitive science can help us scaffold learning in Science. Tell me, in the replies below, which topics or tasks students find most challenging in Science and I'll try and add some solutions to my talk. See you there!

Moving house next week, I think it's time to ditch the teacher training folders. Trying not to be distracted by what's inside them when I should be packing!

The aim of the 'bridging the gap' series is to link researchers with practitioners. The fantastic @jillberry102.bsky.social and @catrplace.bsky.social have written the first post of the series exploring how reflective practice benefits headteachers. edublogger.wixsite.com/bridgingtheg...

What’s does falling off your bike have to do with practicals in science lessons? It’s also why I start a lot of Psychology lessons with an interesting story… benjamindwhite.wordpress.com/2025/03/26/s...

Cognitive offloading (using scrap paper) doesn't just help students remember more, it helps them think more clearly, especially when tasks involve several steps.

Latest on our Substack - resuming our series on designing the perfect curriculum & assessment system. Do we need to slim down the curriculum? Depends what you mean. In one way I think it's a good idea - and in two other ways, it's terrible. substack.nomoremarking.com/p/designing-...

There are some brilliant things people are doing and sharing on social media, but it can sometimes lead to feelings of inadequacy. Don't let it. If you're turning up at school doing the business in the classroom you're having the biggest impact. Remember this.

A new blog from me. It's a delicate subject and I'm not one hundred percent sure I got the tone right. What do you think? What did I miss? How do we get the balance right on this one? mrefinch.wordpress.com/2025/01/21/showing-up/

We may feel like we’ve done ‘effective revision strategies’ to death… but the kids still aren’t doing them folks www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/15...

What have you read that has significantly changed your thinking and/or what you do as a teacher? If there’s a book chapter,article, post that could be read in 40 minutes or less - could you share it here with a comment on why it’s worth reading? Am planning a ‘reading room’ workshop…

*** NEW POST *** What role should AI play in the homework that pupil's do? Whatever way you cut it, I suspect it should be very little... teachreal.wordpress.com/2025/01/14/w...

Wonderful post about the philosophical dangers of AI. Read it. As I did a sad thing occurred to me. I've already stopped setting extended writing that would once have generated huge satisfaction because it's being gamed. It's gone. Forever probably.

Here's a question that perhaps @teachertapp.bsky.social could ask about. Is 'reading around one's subject' considered an important part of one's job? I don't mean pedagogy, I mean history, maths, geography, philosophy etc.

My first article for @rsc-eic.bsky.social - not showing the most exciting cover picture!! edu.rsc.org/ideas/make-w...

We're excited to join the @bsky.app community! Looking forward to connecting with fellow science educators. Give us a follow and let us know if you're here too! #chemistryeducation #scienceteachers #chatchemistry

One of the things which has struck me about the interviews @Sam_LGibbs and I have been doing for our book has been that many of the 100+ teachers we've interviewed, who've served 20+ years are career teachers...a thread 🧵

Signing off social media for a while. Posting this as accountability.

So I have finally done it....exclusive launch here on BlueSky of my new blog "The SciEd Distillery". I aim to share insights from the research literature that I read during my time on the BEST project. Really hope this will be useful. thescieddistillery.blogspot.com/2024/10/meta...

Looking for something to do next weekend? @researchedmk.bsky.social is landing, 26th October, at The Milton Keynes Academy! One week to go! Check out the speakers below! Tickets: tinyurl.com/2eken9zt

My @schoolsweek.bsky.social piece on curriculum reviews. If we learn from 35 yrs of them, we might avoid the ever-recurring problems. But without strong subject-curricular training, espec for senior/system leaders, the finest rubric will still feed old distortions. schoolsweek.co.uk/what-a-natio...
