I’m delighted to announce the launch of the new TEACHING POWERUPS membership website for schools: teachingpowerups.com 🔵 Over 100 Trusted Techniques 🔵 Coaching frameworks 🔵 Extra professional learning supports If this is of interest for your school, local authority or trust, please get in touch 😊

✈️ Evidence-Informed Wisdom is here!! ✈️ RT for a chance to be the first to read it. Today we received our advance copies. It’s a serious book written in a funny way. It’s my favourite thing I’ve ever done. Will pick someone at random on Sunday night and post them a copy!

There are lots of ways to provide opportunities for retrieval practice. There are benefits/limitations to different techniques that's why I embrace variety. As a history teacher, quizzes are great for knowledge recall but students must be given opportunities for elaboration & application too.

Great point from Andy to finish about the importance of *time* for teachers to access and engage with professional learning, for preparation and to work together.

Another really interesting episode of 'Talking Scottish Education' from @stuartphysics.bsky.social and @dnleslie.bsky.social speaking about #curriculum #reform with Andy Creamer from @educationscotland.bsky.social Many shortcomings of #CfE identified and discussed. Need for clarity and decluttering

An interesting whirlwind tour of the history of @gtcscotland.bsky.social, reminding us why it was set up 60 years ago. youtu.be/zZbMlc0ExPI

“Amidst a raft of other changes to the school’s ethos and to the level of expectation placed on children, [Berwickshire High School] injected content based on knowledge into a curriculum which has been largely stripped of it. The outcome was astonishing.”👇 www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

As a PE Teacher I am keen to begin sharing an insight into my lessons and how I plan them. I hope this helps fellow teachers of Physical Education #PEchat #teamphysed

@dnleslie.bsky.social @stuartphysics.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t... @barryblackne.bsky.social @sstatradeunion.bsky.social Darren, Stuart...I succumbed and listened to my voice droning on....'surprisingly' entertaining and interesting listen but OMG! I can talk! 😀 Thank You!

I might be wrong but could it be because we simply don’t have a shared understanding of what excellent looks likes Which then means excellent isn’t shared explicitly in a way that schools can look at and work towards. Do we all know (and agree) on what excellent looks like?

Paul gave a great summary of the decades of change and increasing pressure they have put on teachers, coupled with the diminished supports available. Really struck by the idea of a morning academic timetable and afternoons for sports/creativity. It'd be great to share what I love beyond my subject!

An hour well spent listening to the fascinating chat between @mrdissent.bsky.social , @stuartphysics.bsky.social and @dnleslie.bsky.social over on the 'Talking Scottish Education' podcast. Definitely worth a listen - open.spotify.com/show/4LECanS...

👋 Hi Team #PhysEd! ❤️ In case I haven't met you yet, ThePhysicalEducator.com is an online resource for PE teachers. It's been up and running since 2010, and continues to be run by me (@joeyfeith.com). 🧭 My mission is to help PE teachers everywhere teach from a place of clarity, confidence, and joy!

So much of what happens in learning and instruction is obscured from view, much like in a good magic trick. @carlhendrick.substack.com, Jim Heal and I lift the curtain on 10 such instructional illusions in our new book which is scheduled for release end-August but can be preordered now. #EduSky
