What a stunning setting for #rEdEdinburgh today! It was a privilege to be a part of an amazing line up of speakers! For anyone who'd like to see the slides you can find them on my blog lnkd.in/eZSf6iQP

Worth remembering when using teacher assessment to monitor standards within and between schools, that a human opinion is not a standard unit of measurement.

Less than a week to go! Huge thanks to @mrsball.bsky.social, @singhamarbeerg.bsky.social, & Adam Kohlbeck, who kindly read the book prior to publication. Did we mention the LEGEND that is @funkypedagogy.bsky.social was generous enough to write our foreword!? Unlocking Oracy! amzn.eu/d/dft0jXh

A massive well done to @mrenglishmaths.bsky.social and @nimtassoc.bsky.social for putting together an absolutely phenomenal inaugural conference - big things to come for maths in Northern Ireland!! #NIMTAConf

It finally happened! After 3 years on the circuit I met another sardar invited to speak at a conference, and it was none other than @theteacherwins.bsky.social ! #EduSardars

"Assessment is at the heart of effective teaching and learning, yet it remains one of the most complex and often misunderstood areas within education." @marymyatt.bsky.social in conversation with @singhamarbeerg.bsky.social for @myattandco.bsky.social: marymyatt.substack.com/p/assessment...

What a fantastic message to come home to after a great day's training in Birmingham! It's always a genuine pleasure to work with colleagues and provide a supportive space where they can challenge their own and each other's thinking and practice.

Registration for our conference is open - sign up now and spread the word. @singhamarbeerg.bsky.social will be leading our keynote and some local educators will be leading workshops throughout the morning. Tickets available at: nimtaconference2025.eventbrite.com

A day's worth of training for £10 or less?? Excited doesn't even begin to describe how I'm feeling about this!

First up at #ReDBmouth was a very thought provoking look at assessment from @s-donarski.bsky.social - big takeaway being that "assessment" can't be separated from curriculum design and delivery.

This was a great read! And so glad to see that the work of our team @greenshawrs.bsky.social influenced Jon's thinking - we've got a publication around this coming soon so if you're interested in disciplinary literacy, watch this space!

Something special is brewing for Sikh teachers in the UK...watch this space! @mrsaujla.bsky.social

Anybody following @education-ni.gov.uk's recent work will notice @innerdrive.bsky.social's involvement. We are delighted that our keynote speaker in August will be @singhamarbeerg.bsky.social who has contributed to InnerDrive content and spoken at ResearchED conferences.

Inspired by the call to action around building schools where our pupils belong at #REND25, I've branched out from the normal T&L blog posts to write about something a bit more personal. unpackingeducation.wixsite.com/home/post/wh...

Tomorrow is our second & final webinar on Disciplinary Literacy in Science. We enjoyed a great Session 1 with @nikika.bsky.social - join us for Part 2, 3.45-4.45pm 👇 researchschool.org.uk/greenshaw/ev...

Looking at my workspace today. Thinking about all the school leaders whose voices have filled this space. A simple desk with a full history. @patricebain.bsky.social @singhamarbeerg.bsky.social spot my current reading 👀

Thank you to @greenshawrs.bsky.social for inviting me to talk about literacy in Science today. In our session next week, we'll be thinking about writing in Science (among other things), and it brought to mind this post from a while back (2021!) #ancienthistory researchschool.org.uk/norfolk/news...

Today we kick off our free webinars on Disciplinary Literacy in Science, taking place today and next Thursday from 3.45-4.45pm. Join us ➡️ bit.ly/GRSDisLit

Are grades *always* the best way of communicating attainment? How can we be sure? Jen Curran and I explored these Qs and more when we sat down with @shaneleaning.com to explore data, grades, and assessment. Sneak preview below and you can click this link for the full episode: lnkd.in/euCTvgd5

Why can no goal sometimes be the best goal? A blog I wrote for the EEF exploring how, counterintuitively, we can sometimes support pupil attention by being *less* directive: researchschool.org.uk/news/why-som...

Some wonderful educators were kind enough to read 'Unlocking Oracy' in advance of publication and share their thoughts. Here's some of what @singhamarbeerg.bsky.social had to say... 'Unlocking Oracy', available for pre-order 🎉 amzn.eu/d/5KFqkpE

That student who scored 65% versus one who scored 60%? @singhamarbeerg.bsky.social and Jen Curran reminded me they're likely within each other's margin of error. Our comfort with numbers creates a dangerous illusion of certainty in education. What matters isn't the score itself but what follows.

🧵 1/7 Imagine for a moment... That there was a mode of teaching better than all others. A set of techniques that worked best in any classroom, anywhere, every time. Some not only believe this exists—they proclaim it with absolute certainty.

A great day of CPD led by @singhamarbeerg.bsky.social and @jensutherland.bsky.social; an opportunity to really reflect on how I present things, ask questions, model and expect our children to retain information.

*** ONLINE GEOGRAPHY CPD OPPORTUNITY *** We will explore the shift in focus from curriculum intent to curriculum implementation by considering the question 'what does it mean to teach geography well?'. Details here www.schoolimprovementliverpool.co.uk/Training-Det... #GeogChat #GeographyTeacher

Such a pleasure to co-facilitate "Implementing CPD so it Sticks" with @singhamarbeerg.bsky.social. A great group who had some fab discussions about teacher professional development that's both impactful and sustainable. My first time working with @innerdrive.bsky.social - thanks for having me! 🤓

It was a pleasure to deliver a session on "Implementing CPD so it sticks" for @innerdrive.bsky.social alongside @nickpointer.bsky.social. Great reflections and feedback from attendees, grappling with the knotty challenge of what effective and sustainable CPD looks like and how can we implement it.

This is an experience people of colour (PoC) go through regularly. Some don't mind, and that's fine. For others, including myself, it brings up some really uncomfortable emotions. Most people on here will know me as "Singh"... (1/6)

EPISODE 2 OUT NOW! @singhamarbeerg.bsky.social discusses the pressure of assessment and the responsibility we have for reporting on the progress of learners. How do we genuinely know that what we report is a genuine reflection on what the child has learnt? Listen now @ https://buff.ly/4ghNS7N

Why are students so bad at word problems?? This is a question that has bugged me since the day I started teaching, and it's exactly what I'll be exploring tomorrow as I kick off @greenshawrs.bsky.social's series on disciplinary literacy. To get warmed up, check out the blog below!
