Great day in London today with @teacherhead.bsky.social and @mattteachcoach.bsky.social. Really inspiring to work with the amazing @walkthrus.bsky.social team. Feeling really fired up about leading training and supporting schools to implement WalkThrus with precision.

Thursday's Three Things is back after brief hiatus for the 4th of July. Links to @dtwuva.bsky.social's first Substack post, designing inclusive classrooms from @teacherhead.bsky.social, and a consideration of context prompting with AI. episcopalacademyctl.substack.com/p/thursdays-...

We’ve had great fun at the Festival of Education last week! Thanks to @teacherhead.bsky.social for hosting us in the Walkthrus strand!

You all already know that I have a new book coming out but it seems a shame not to share this video which someone at the publisher has kindly made. You can pre-order a signed and dedicated copy from the lovely people at @foxlanebooks.bsky.social www.foxlanebooks.co.uk/product-page...

From @johntomsett.bsky.social‬’s upcoming books: nine things truly great teachers consistently do. Here’s number six ⬇️ Now available to pre-order: #TrulyGreatPrimaryTeachers: buff.ly/9vTPyop #TrulyGreatSecondaryTeachers: buff.ly/5ASChbZ

Excellent … really worth thinking about the implications of this eg cueing attention via test expectancy

Every time we make a new tune I think it could be our best yet... So here's the latest. Under the Clock I made this up about 20 years ago on the piano but Tom AP has just completed the lyrics and vocals. It’s rather beautiful. on.soundcloud.com/JVyw8AJ55qpc...

Very relevant to MFL when considering interactions between pupils and teachers and pupil-pupil practice. Is everyone taking part and learning?

"Their assumption seems to be that if the student is present in the room, it’s their responsibility to engage, not the teacher’s responsibility to engage them." Spot on from @teacherhead.bsky.social on what being inclusive really means.

Systematic inclusion: Is literally everyone thinking, talking, practising, learning? How much does it matter to you? teacherhead.com/2025/06/25/s...

Rosenshine’s Principles Revisited - a real deep dive into effective instruction with Tom Sherrington today. I love learning about all of this because it is relevant to all subjects. #EdChatIE #ScienceOfLearning #InAction @teacherhead.bsky.social

The most read article of the week was ‘Encoding: Possibly the most under-emphasised element in securing learning for all.’ by @teacherhead.bsky.social‬ 📚

A fantastic day @walkthrus.bsky.social annual conference in London today. Thought provoking and lots of practical ideas to take away. Great to hear inspiring case stories of WalkThrus in action in schools. @teacherhead.bsky.social @mattteachcoach.bsky.social

After two days supporting a wonderful history team, it feels especially meaningful to arrive home to find this on my doorstep - a printed copy of the book I’ve co-authored! @hachettelearning.bsky.social @teacherhead.bsky.social #HistoryEducation #HistoryTeachers #InternationalTeaching #EdChat

Codering is een essentieel concept binnen onze leertheorie, maar het lijkt vaak onderbelicht in discussies over hoe leren werkt en in de onderwijspraktijk die daaruit voortvloeit. Met dank aan @teacherhead.bsky.social #EduSky www.kirschnered.nl/2025/06/02/c...

Whoop! Thanks to everyone supporting us on this amazing journey. It's been exciting - and working with @olicav.bsky.social @mattteachcoach.bsky.social and @johncattedu.bsky.social is amazing. More to come. walkthrus.co.uk

Another anniversary. 17th May 2019 is Rosenshine In Action day. The little red booklet peaked at #17 in the book charts for all books which blew my mind. I think we’ve sold 200,000 copies of it … Enthusiasm for a short book led to the birth of the In Action series. amazon.co.uk/Rosenshines-Pr… >

Come and work with me… Are you interested in moving into higher education and initial teacher training? Do you have experience of teaching humanities (primarily geography & history)? Would you like to work in the South West in a fantastic setting? www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DMY330/l... Repost & share 🙏🏼

At #ResearchEd Warrington, @teacherhead.bsky.social: Teaching success isn’t reaching a few students — it’s making every student think hard. Short feedback loops, scaffolded discussion, and high expectations aren’t extras — they’re essentials. Teaching all > teaching some. #teaching #researchinformed

Here's a 15 second teaser for #CoachingWalkthrus. It's a beautiful piece of work. Such a joy to have the opportunity to work with @mattteachcoach.bsky.social and @olicav.bsky.social on this book. You will want a copy! Out in September we hope.

Just finished the Cognitive Load Theory book from @teacherhead.bsky.social's In Action series Really glad I found this in my ITT year. I've had training on CLT, and this has helped to expand on it, deepen my understanding, and given me ideas that I can hopfully act on in the classroom soon

Does subject knowledge matter more than teaching techniques? That is a terrible question. teacherhead.com/2025/04/20/d...

"there are three types of knowledge teachers need: Subject knowledge- Pedagogical Content Knowledge - General Pedagogical Knowledge- The thing is that there is no meaningful hierarchy here." - Tom Sherrington @teacherhead.bsky.social #Education #EduSky #Edutooters teacherhead.com/2025/04/20/d...

The April release WalkThrus so far… one of the three properly upset some people .. which is funny in itself. Cos .. seriously!

Get started on this today.

New WalkThru just dropped. 👌👌

Epic weekend in NYC for @researchEd. Love this city .. first came in 1985 and it’s as exciting to be here as ever.
