Just seen an EEF video which basically claims that everything we do as teachers is 'retrieval practice'. This is why I keep pointing out that the learning = memory narrative is so problematic. You end up defining a complex process by its potential outcome. The role of motivation basically goes MIA.

YOUR HISTORY TEACHER NEVER TOLD YOU-

Have just pre-ordered this collection edited @benniekara.bsky.social - looks like a great range of genres and writers explored.
Diverse Words and Voices, a collection of 30 extracts from writers with a range of identities, will be published 7th October. I am proud to have edited the collection. Have a look to see which extracts we have included!

The only way we will see an improvement in workload is if we have a finite working week.
If every single task relating to every aspect of teaching had to fit into an 8 hour day, we'd think very carefully about what those tasks were.
Doing a heavy workload at home is still doing a heavy workload.

Today on @teachertapp.bsky.social we’re asking all about PPA time - where you can go, can you go home.
Be sure to add YOUR voice you can answer questions or download the app here: onelink.to/teachertapp
Is flexibility for PPA the workload win some think it is? Do you want to do PPA at home?

Black History Month is coming up with the theme ‘Reclaiming Our Narratives.’ In education, let’s ask: Whose stories are centred? Whose are missing? It’s time to move beyond performative acts and make Black British History truly part of British History—beyond single stories and beyond struggle.

Amen. The idea that school should teach adult life admin is the bleakest, drabbest view of education
I also get really bothered with the "teach them taxes"...
No. We don't have a US system where you file your own taxes until you earn a significant amount. By which time you basically hire an accountant.
Stop doing click bait headline things - focus on good disciplinary knowledge!

I find people's 'my favourite whatever' lists interesting, but I find making these choices impossible personally. My favourite book? Right now? Last year? Five years ago? As a kid? For plot? For character? For relaxation? For a mental challenge? OK, I've got ten titles for each category, now what?

Look after yourself this year.
Doing ‘what’s best for the kids’ does not (and *must* not) necessitate the compromise of your health - mental and physical.
It just isn’t worth it. *You* matter.
Assert your boundaries unabashedly.

My view on #Edusky 🎓is that if we really want this community to function well, we need to lay off the like button.
