This was a particularly good episode. Didn’t agree 100% with @profbeckyallen.bsky.social on everything but her views on AI and different subject practices were really stimulating.
NEW EPISODE
We asked @profbeckyallen.bsky.social what are the three most important things for teachers and leaders to know about assessment.
Number 1? That it's all about learning.
Tune in and share!

Interesting exploration of attendance data & school outcomes from the DfE.
Students need to be in school, but it’s complicated: prior attainment, birth month, poverty, gender…

Excellent post. Fascinating/frustrating that I hear this a lot and yet people (myself included) find it so hard to do in practice.
You can spin a plate quite well when you’re only spinning one.
And if that one plate is going to have a big impact, it deserves to be spun well.
Worth remembering.

Following a few requests from teachers and school leaders, I've made a short video on the key ideas that I think teachers (and parents/carers) need to know about reading development, based on my reading concept map.
