Ask whether what you're doing is useful and constantly interrogate for this. Why this intervention? Does it work? How do we know? Be brave! If there isn't good evidence for something working (e g coloured paper/lenses) don't just roll over and do it.

Firstly, (got this from @bennewmark.bsky.social) don’t ask teachers to do things you don’t/have not done.

It’s too broad and aspirational in nature - it relies on hope not trust.

Inclusive practice requires clarity of core elements (scaffolding, chunking, DI etc.) so as to ground the heady heights of QFT in measurable strategies that are built on true trust accountability not simply trust.

Great points raised.

What about the concept of QFT do you think makes it intangible? How might we be able to move towards more concrete ideas around inclusive practice?
