Is the curriculum to blame for plummetting absence?
Why blaming the curriculum for falling pupil engagement oversimplifies a complex problem and risks doing more harm than good.

Excellent post on ‘How to read and why’.
The points about how books are so incredibly dense with information compared to alternatives like a podcast, along with the transitoriness of an audiobook, both struck me.

Still chipping away at KS3 assessment. Varied multiple choice formats provide a confidence boost for students whilst rigorously assessing knowledge. This builds to a historical skill/second order concept response. Review of knowledge/writing enhancement to finish. #historyteacher

SUMMARY
• The classroom is a distraction-rich environment, the costs of which are often more than we think.
• Eliminating all distractions could improve learning by over 50%.
• Leaders tend to underestimate this effect even more.
