Excellent post from Mary. As @counsellc.bsky.social says, "You cannot Rosenshine your way into a curriculum, and nor can you Rosenshine your way into mediating content in subject sensitive ways."

I don’t think as much attention has been paid to implementing the curriculum as it has to the pedagogy to teach it. It’s a bit like going into a restaurant where all the effort has gone in to making it look amazing... open.substack.com/pub/marymyat...

Reading aloud means we can introduce sophisticated works across literature, history, science, and beyond, without diluting them. open.substack.com/pub/marymyat...

Some of the issues with Key Stage 3... open.substack.com/pub/marymyat...

Reading aloud is a high-leverage practice that has the capacity to support complex thinking and to provide access to disciplinary knowledge. open.substack.com/pub/marymyat...

The Governors’ Gateway has launched! We’re delight to share a new learning platform built for the realities of school governance. It’s the brainchild of @catherinepriggs.bsky.social and we know it will be so helpful for governors. /1

Some thoughts on KS3 open.substack.com/pub/marymyat...

I'll be doing a live webinar on transition from KS2 to KS3 tomorrow, Wed 3 Dec Schools that are serious about strengthening KS3 are finding practical ways to sustain momentum. /1

"Too often, KS3 is treated as a rehearsal for GCSEs rather than a stage with its own intellectual purpose." @marymyatt.bsky.social asks: Can we turn Key Stage 3 into the ambitious years? marymyatt.substack.com/p/can-we-tur...

In my latest podcast, @marymyatt.bsky.social said the recommendations in the Curriculum and Assessment Review's final report could make Key Stage 3 the 'intellectual powerhouse' of secondary schools. Listen to the full episode here: insideyoured.com

Morning, A request for help: I recently moved up north (near Bolton) and I’ve been on supply ever since. I need a permanent job. Science teacher. 20yrs exp. Schools don’t always advertise on the TES so if anyone knows anyone, please pass this on? I’d really appreciate it!

Great day with colleagues at Cleves Cross showing the impact of working with The Teachers Collection!

Just had a great conversation with Shareen Wilkinson What a fount of knowledge and a joy to talk with Preparing for the writing session on The Teachers' Collection next Mon 17 Nov 3.30 marymyatt.typeform.com/mml-002-merr...

🚨 NEW POST 🚨 ‘Feedback: A message in a bottle’ “Feedback is not a clear, simple exchange. It is a difficult, contingent, emotional, belief-laden effort. Teachers pose messages that can be easily lost, or can hit home very directly.” alexquigley.co.uk/feedback-a-m...

While the Curriculum and Assessment Review contains recommendations for the DfE, there are some themes that are worth considering now. As with Ofsted’s new EIF there’s a big focus on inclusion. /1

Is your school's "improvement" culture just more top-down initiatives? Many school improvement plans fall flat because they lack buy-in. What if we shifted from "directing" to "developing"? /1

Curriculum Conversations: A Reference Pack for Senior Leaders Coming soon marymyatt.substack.com/p/coming-soo...

From @marymyatt.bsky.social: "I’ve seen how much difference it makes when SLs & subject leaders have meaningful, informed conversations about the curriculum. The best discussions aren’t about spreadsheets or data drops, they’re about the substance of what we’re teaching, why it matters & how..." 1/2
