Schools Week have devised a quiz!
Higher or Lower! Can you spot which statement in the Ofsted framework is for the higher grade?!

Ofsted quiz: Can you spot a ‘strong’ rating from a ‘secure’ one?
Ofsted's proposed 'toolkits' have been criticised as being too unclear - but do they make sense?

2/5. I hope this says more about the subjectivity of the criteria and less about my leadership (or literacy)!

Great quote from @dylanwiliam @CharteredColl 'If we direct our energies not on evaluating teachers but on improving them, we are far more likely to improve the quality of education that our pupils receive'

I'm getting some pushback on my post about banning smartphones. Lot of it is "this is a moral panic don't ban stuff it'll be fine.'
A key thing to understand here though is many young people themselves don't like what phones are doing to them. This is different to rock music or video games etc.

“Infinite” in maths and “definite” in not maths are related in that definite stems from “bounded within limits” (think “defined”) and infinite means unbounded without limits. So now you’ll never spell “definite” incorrectly again. You’re welcome. 😉

Turn and Talk is very popular right now, I see it in most lessons I go to.
HOWEVER, in 95% of cases I watch it and think "that lesson would have been better without it to be honest"
Why?

Putting on the heating is like going to war. Only justifiable once you’ve legitimately exhausted all other options.

One of the many great points made by @pepsmccrea.bsky.social at #REd24 yesterday was that in the dark days many of us were enthusiastically doing brain gym / VAK / discovery learning but we were unable to identify that it wasn't a good idea. Evaluating whether teaching is effective is hard.

How good is @pepsmccrea.bsky.social? So many things to take away from his presentation today. I hope I can do it justice when I share my reflections with colleagues next week.
