EXCITING OPPORTUNITY We are looking for teachers to help us with a Top Secret AI project. It will take 35 minutes only, and it should be pretty interesting! If you teach science, geography, DT, English or psychology (KS5) and can help out click 👇 forms.gle/c1gvLrz7Cfah...

New post: Are book looks a waste of time? For some, they are a meaningless scourge. For others, they are a vital accountability lever that provides insight into the lived curriculum. Read on for more, and please share if you can! carouselteachlearnlead.substack.com/p/are-book-l...

I find it wild that if you’re verbally abusive to a police officer or a nurse you can be prosecuted, but we are saying that when it happens to teachers it’s not even appropriate to send a child home.

*DATABUSTERS DERBYSHIRE* tickets now available for the first of our Databusters days. Join us in beautiful Ashover on the edge of the Peak for a whole day of data fun. Morning focused on accountability/IDSR; afternoon on assessment, tracking, reporting. www.insightinform.co.uk/event/databu...

I approached this blog by @adamboxereducation.bsky.social with a fair degree of scepticism because I think coaching is an effective way to make lasting change but he certainly raises many real difficulties in implementing it well. open.substack.com/pub/carousel...

Thanks BBC for helping us all to join the dots here.

Is it a spoiler if I mention that The Greatest Do Now Ever is also a way to set cheat-proo, high-compliance homework @adamboxereducation.bsky.social?

Super blog from @scientistsinthemaking.com on retrieval practice from a US science teachers's perspective, building on @carlhendrick.substack.com's excellent recent post on lethal mutations. scientistsinthemaking.substack.com/p/the-dos-an...

I feel like I say this every week but it was just another great and fascinating episode. @adamboxereducation.bsky.social and @amymayforrester.bsky.social - congratulations on a great term of podcasts! (PS - can you get Liz English on this platform. Loads I would like to ask her!)

“Selecting an answer from a multiple-choice array is a pale shadow of producing that answer from memory.” And other gems on how (not) to build an education app from @carlhendrick.substack.com

What do you get if you cross a turnaround school with a startup school? Yup - a whole load of problems. But Liz English is actually doing it, and leading one of the most fascinating and successful schools in the country. TUNE IN + SHARE open.spotify.com/episode/3Atp...

New 🚨 free Carousel Teaching course 'Beyond the Basics' C-Scores • feedback • retrieval culture • analytics Now available to all users in the CPD tab.

Particularly good episode with lots of great thinking on assessment and how it can be effective. Also, I learnt a new Japanese word - kyozaikenkyu - meaning knowledge of instructional materials. If this whetted your appetite for Japanese words in an educational context….

Measuring ed. impact is hard, but we’re proud of the methodologies and results here. It’s one school’s data, so we’re careful not to overclaim, but still, we think the correlations in the article tell us and important story.

That’s quite some booking! Can’t wait to listen on my way home from dinner..:

NEW POST Schools rightly spend a lot of time thinking about classroom teaching and in-the-moment learning and lesson structure. But without a plan for long-term memory, we are probably wasting our time. Please do share if you can 🙏🙏 carouselteachlearnlead.substack.com/p/the-long-t...

Product idea: browser extension that tracks which online shops use Evri do shipping and then blocks you from being able to buy anything from them.

🚀 New 🆓 Carousel Teaching course just launched for all Carousel Learning account holders! 'Beyond the Basics: optimising your use of Carousel Learning' is now live. Available now to all users - just log into your Carousel Learning account and click 'CPD'.

This is @adamboxereducation.bsky.social at his finest. Fascinated to follow the thread and see if anyone disagrees with the central point.

The national gap between "What SLT think happen in their schools" And "What actually happens in their schools" Is huge carouselteachlearnlead.substack.com/p/autonomy-a...

Retrieval practice for history Join me for a *free* webinar exploring the common pitfalls of retrieval in history and how to avoid them. I’ll be sharing questions from the new Carousel Edexcel History retrieval banks. Link: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/retrieval-...

Underreported key details regarding the budget pension changes as far as I can work out: 1. They don't come in until April 2029 - so time to backtrack 2. "Normal" employer/employee pension arrangments available to all aren't affected - only optional salary sacrifice. If that's right...

This is a thing we should bear in mind when considering personalised learning in education. One man’s “perfectly tailored learning content” is another man’s “bleak classroom of headphone-wearing, screen-captured antisocial individuals”.

If you haven't found them yet, I could not recommend more highly @profbeckyallen.bsky.social's Substack on assessment. This post is particularly great - tonnes of practical thoughts that can improve anyone's assessment writing/review process. 100assessment.substack.com/p/does-your-...

@richardselfridge.bsky.social and I will be organising some of our awesome Databusters events to look at IDSR, performance measures, and use of assessment data in schools. Watch this space for dates.

NEW POST Almost every school I know has a list of Teaching and Learning or curriculum "non-negotiables." But is that a good term to use in schools? Please share if you can 🙏🙏 substack.com/home/post/p-...

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

Fed and watered and ready for a great day @insighthq.bsky.social at the Gtech stadium. Brilliant line up. What a way to finish the week! @daisychristo.bsky.social @richardselfridge.bsky.social @jpembroke.bsky.social @joshuaperry.bsky.social

This is a great example of where AI as the default could make education worse.

⭐SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT⭐ Steve Wren, Director of Yorkshire Educational Excellence, will join us at DISCO Birmingham as one of our keynote speakers. Don't miss the chance to join us - and Steve - for a data deep dive! Buy your tickets and check out the full agenda here: buff.ly/GMxUimZ

Adam writes a cracking blog. This one on school improvement priorities is well worth a read.

Hoo boy I can’t wait for this one.

Moving from "what's the most authoritative answer?" to "what's the most plausible answer?" turns out to have downsides.

Super excited about this school data conference in London (Bristol and NW editions also available!)

An email I got last year following the webinar: [our] trainee came at break today saying (direct quote): "I just delivered an Adam Boxer style lesson with my tricky Y7 class and what a difference!!! I can't believe how such simple changes made such a big difference to the behaviour"
