Teacher. Seasoned explorer of the Dunning-Kruger map. Here to learn more about how education works.

Used to think that formative assessment and assessment for learning were the same thing. They're obviously similar, and there are overlaps, but yeah. Being able to understand each of them separately has helped me choose better ways to assess students.

There is so much to the book I hope it doesn't feel rushed as a film.

I literally just finished season 1 again before the Sunday game here.

Not sure it will at this rate

If a recession hits and jobs become scarce, then education has failed them? Seems a bit harsh, no?

Smart move. So strange how it was ever longer than a year in the first place

If you were the minister for ed, what would be your solution?

I find teachers very defensive about this. But when I ask them do they think their driving has improved over the last 10 years they admit it probably hasn't.

I just always wonder do students make the right choice in such a scaffolded environment. After a year of college and being more independent I think reality hits students (and maybe parents) more about what is right path of study for them.

The CAO is hard to get right, easy to get so wrong

Do you think broader first-year courses would be better or help? Spread (or push) the assessment pressure into college when students are more certain where they want their direction of study to go?

Questions on content put together on PowerPoint in coloured grids. Typically questions in red squares are more difficult and get more points. Reduces opportunity for effective feedback and very workload heavy.
