The Writing Framework has just been published, and I'm very pleased to have been part of the sector panel which helped produce this important document.

I'm optimistic that the framework will help leaders to further develop the teaching of writing in their schools.

@mralmonded.bsky.social Morning Neil, would it be possible for you to DM me, I’d like to talk Primary Maths.

Had the most incredible few days, working with the most inspiring leaders! Coming together to build a community to tackle educational disadvantage in the East region as a collective effort, rather than in the silos of our own schools. It's a privilege to stand amongst them! @leadeast100.bsky.social

ConnectED is back - a free online event 15th October 4-5pm with Josh Goodrich, co-founder and CEO of Steplab, exploring what great coaches know and do. Save the date and spread the word. @shirley01756.bsky.social @jgprofdev.bsky.social @nikkisullivan.bsky.social

Here is the #DiverseEd 2024-25 DEIB calendar for schools.

It has been a labour of love collating and checking the dates to pull it all together but it is finished.

Please share it far and wide with colleagues so they can download it too:

TEACHING MICRO TIP 7

Use a visualiser and, whenever possible, show them don’t tell them what you want work to look like and include.

It makes success visible, breaks teaching down, and makes the process clear.

With time this will pretty much eradicate your need to create any PowerPoints.

Just posted new blog on Bluesky and not (yet) on Twitter. Be interesting to see engagement. Will I fold and put it on Twitter too? Please help me avoid the temptation by reposting here!
