Many schools have strict rules on mobile phones. But what do teachers actually experience day to day? 🤔 We teamed up with @innerdrive.bsky.social on InnerTapp #2, looking at the gap between what’s written in policy and what really happens in the classroom 👇 bit.ly/46LNmME

🚨 The Teaching & Learning Summit 2026, with our partners Eton College 🚨 We have John Hattie, @mrenglishteach.bsky.social @mrspearce.bsky.social @rachelpixl.bsky.social, Jonnie Noakes, @alexjquigley.bsky.social, Iro Konstantinou, @drcastelino.bsky.social 🎟️ www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-teachi...

To the replies of ‘this study states the obvious’. People say that as if it’s a bad thing. That’s EXACTLY why we need research. Because we are filled with cognitive biases and common sense isn’t very common. Easy to get caught up in group think.

The response to this has been interesting… 🟡 Twitter: we need to focus on how to help students think hard (I agree ✅) 🔵 Blue Sky: we need oral assessment (I disagree ❌) 🔴 LinkedIn: this is a weak study/we need more AI training/this shows how AI can be good for learning (I cringe a little bit 🙄)

6. Fantastic! Engaging and full of wisdom to help teachers become more evidence informed

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...

Super excited to be part of the @innerdrive.bsky.social strand at Festival of Ed! The ID strand is 🔥 with speakers such as Brad Busch, Ed Watson, Claire Badger, Jade Pearce, Doug Lemov, Bruce Robertson and Mark Roberts. I’ll be talking all things cog sci and scaffolding 🪜

Book 50: Evidence-Informed Wisdom by Brad Busch and Edward Watson 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic book full of interesting studies and key insights into how we can use evidence powerfully if we use it judiciously

“Thank goodness for this book. Blake Harvard’s topic–the basic functions of human cognition–is quite literally the most important body of knowledge for any teacher to know in order to design and adapt instruction for students." [email protected] theeffortfuleducator.com/do-i-have-yo...

✈️ 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!
