I’ve visited @kielderobservatory.bsky.social and @herstmonceuxobs.bsky.social this summer. Have I been to the most northern and most southern observatories in England?

It’s a pleasure as always to be at @herstmonceuxobs.bsky.social astronomy festival. Surrounded by inspiring people and surroundings.

Day 1 of my new role at @meimaths.bsky.social. Have just been made a ‘enjoy your first day’ breakfast by #boy2. Nothing better to kick off a new job than coffee, lemon drizzle cake, chocolate and a brioche. To be eaten with a spoon.

Outside of my day job I was very pleased to be asked to be involved in evaluating the hashtag#PlanetPossibility consortium of grassroots charities, universities, and education partners across the UK. Over three years this consortium reached nearly 95,000 people.

Beyond excited to be at @kielderobservatory.bsky.social. Pray for some cloud breaks!

@meimaths.bsky.social conference 2025 extra special since I will be joining the organisation at their first Chief Learning Officer in September. Leaving NCETM will be hard but evaluation is in VERY capable hands and that the two organisations are linked by shared vision and partnership working. 1/n

Over the last couple of months I have been watching - Expertly designed and led PD - With out-of-field maths teachers 'growing' their identity as mathematician, - Become even better at teaching students who need maths teachers the most. So important that these programmes externally evaluated. (1/n)

The @ncetm.bsky.social has a fabulous #SKTMSecondaryNonSpecialistTeacherProgramme for anyone teaching mathematics outside of their specialism. This video featuring @kandmmathshub.bsky.social captures it perfectly. @j9allen.bsky.social @garethshadick.bsky.social www.ncetm.org.uk/news/inside-...

Milestone for me today in my role as Director for Evaluation and Impact at @ncetm.bsky.social today - can confirm that we will take part in not one, but two @theeef.bsky.social funded RCTs in 2025/26. This is something we have wanted for a long time! I have written a blog about it (thread below)

Currently reading a PhD thesis in a street food terrace bar in Hackney Wick. Ive never felt more cool.

In #MathsToday I taught a y7 class that I don't normally teach, and filmed them doing some Fluency tasks using double number lines from @ncetm.bsky.social Secondary. They were a pleasure and showed some great insights.

Anyone interested in maths education should read this blog co-written by Charlie Stripp and I about #TIMSS2023 www.ncetm.org.uk/features/how.... Headlines below

Not sure I will ever beat sharing the bill with Prof Anne Watson and @robeastaway.bsky.social. No pressure then… Cannot wait to share thoughts on 10 years of maths hubs and what the next 10 years might bring.

The Curriculum Review Roadshow highlighted positives in existing curriculum and how the principles of coherence and access for all students could and should permeate throughout the subjects and phases. Teachers praised work started by @ncetm.bsky.social and #mathshubs

I enjoyed attending the Curriculum Review workshop in Folkestone today. Prof Zongyi Den @ioe.bsky.social mentioned Biesta in the panel discussion - I nearly fell off my chair! 💪👏🙏

Why have #MathsHubs10Years thrived? 1) Commitment to an evolving, evidence-informed pedagogy for all children to succeed in maths 2) High quality training led by colleagues in both @ncetm.bsky.social and #MathsHubs thus linking theory with practice 3) Relentless focus on culture change in schools
