This afternoon kicks off our Term 1 feedback forums for ECTs, Mentors and Induction Tutors with our ECT group. Great to hear how well the @NIOT ECF is supporting our ECT cohort - bitesize videos were a big hit! #weareEACT

Session 5- coaching, communities and consistency with @siobhanMered really interesting to hear about how coaching and practice is working with ECTs around professionalism and relationships

Session 4 looking at why data matters. Really making me reflect on how I can best use data to map professional learning as teachers impact the ‘data’ of pupils in different ways. They make progress in the classroom themselves at different rates. Does great data mean great teaching?!

Session 2 #rED24 Josh Goodrich, and Jon Gilbert. Making tacit knowledge explicit- removing luck and chance from developing expertise. Thinking about how to get our expert teachers to unpack and explain their craft.

Starting off my #rED24 day with @profcoe.bsky.social ‘why we need feedback more than we think’ huge implications for judging teaching and learning from lesson obs and self reflection. “Using video is the most powerful tool when getting a reality check.”

Happy Wednesday. Excited to be on route to Birmingham for E-ACT Primary strategy day. Just KNOW my shoes will give me blisters - but kind of obsessed so wearing them anyway.

What a list!! I’ll be in K28 at the end of the day. Glad I’m in the last session - it will really let the imposter syndrome build up throughout the day 😂.
For the BlueSky people- the researchED 2024 program is FINALLY HERE. I’ll send out the downloadable link later this evening. It’s a MONSTER
