The IPPR's "Making the Difference" report was full of incorrect statistics. Part 3
In 2017, the IPPR published false and misleading information about exclusions. It has distorted the debate ever since.

Beautiful stuff

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.
