The main drivers of this success in England:
1. Phonics
2. Knowledge-rich emphases
3. Focussing on sequenced curriculums
4. Clearer behaviour guidance based on the behaviour curriculum, boundaries, consequences and support.
5. Teacher training/ ECT reform
6. Assessment clearly linked to curriculum

Framing up our annual targets for standardised literacy and numeracy assessments for our 2025 improvement plan. Would love suggestions from others as to what they use for DIBELS and PAT. Any suggestions @rayboyd007.bsky.social or @rachaellehr.bsky.social

Term 4 is busy! As a leader, you never know what the day will bring! Today was duties, intervention, Zooms, improvement planning, more duties, filming for a diocesan renewal project, assembly, more duties and phone calls! I didn't even get to spend more than 10 mins in any classroom today. #edusky

New starter pack! I've been wanting to make this all weekend, but a sick kid and grant writing took priority. Plenty of space on here--let's see some pups. go.bsky.app/8JBjFxH

As the term is winding up (I swear we used to wind down in term four), my reading list is getting longer. Sharing mine in the hopes you might share yours. The holiday reading season is nearly here! #EduSky

Hi All

Less than 24 hours in and I’m enjoying the idea of reestablishing an active #PLN sharing the challenges, joys and wonders of education.

I’ve started curating a list of Australian educators. If you or someone you know should be added, tag them below.

Enjoying this first experience of @bsky.app It reminds me of the mid-2000s when I first joined Twitter, and the Edu space was fantastic. I had an amazing PLC to share with, and you could reach out to lead thinkers in the field directly to ask questions and test ideas. Hoping for great things!
