The New Ofsted Report Cards: Reform or Rebranding? headteacherchat.com/blogs/the-n...

Does your school use coloured paper or overlays to treat reading problems, despite an absence of scientific evidence for the practice? Our blog ‘Papering Over the Reading Gap’ explains more wp.me/p4hKgx-7Xq (7 min read). #EduSky #UKEd

If you think about potential warning signs that a system isn't meeting needs, an increase in exclusions and a decrease in attendance would be two obvious ones to look for. The DfE is not going to be able to increase #inclusion simply by Ofsted-ing it. They have to look at the wider system. #EduSky

"Don't track SEND as a group" Number 8 in top tips for assessment has really given me food for thought! I'm not sure we think deeply enough about this statement when tracking data in schools! @georginadurrant.bsky.social 💭 www.twinkl.co.uk/l/11rdl3

One of my favourite parts of Dylan Wiliam's work is his explanation of why written comments are "true but useless". Vague comments like "be more systematic" might be true, but they aren't useful. We are using these insights to develop our new AI feedback feature.
