Summary of my presentation at the Directors of Improvement conference today. (Strap in, it's a bit of a beast) ↓
Gu’s work is not widely translated. He speaks no English. The Chinese tradition of sameness against a background of variation is rooted in Confucian Heritage Culture.
Off to an interesting start in Anil Seth's Being You: A New Science of Consciousness, page 17 with its initial consideration of 'information processing'.
I'm increasingly convinced that the #VariationTheory of learning is one of the most important theories for secondary teachers to understand. It ain't just another trick to add to the bag—it's a powerful theory to think with You'll see why in my forthcoming book: Difference Maker
So, one way of defining knowledge is that it is inversely proportional to surprise (Mobus and Kalton 2015). The less surprised you are by new events, the more you know. And the more you know, the less information any message contains for you.
Teach science? I'd love to hear your views if you have 5 minutes?! 😃👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Approaching 100 respondents so far, thank you all! 😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #EdD forms.office.com/Pages/Response…
Information Theory —Pioneered by Claude Shannon in the 1940s— Gave interesting insights into communication and knowledge that would revolutionise many scientific fields, including systems theory. Here's what could be inferred on knowledge⤵️🧵
@J0GOODMAN If a school is a complex system - presumably a complex adaptive system, is there not a problem with leaders working to make all the decisions? They will never have a detailed understanding to make such decisions by themselves. The model seems quite linear given you're identifying
Well … I can’t disagree with this! 👇🏽@ATMMathematics @Mathematical_A @MEIMaths @NCETM @DrHelenDrury @LearningMaths but what does it mean to understand the theory? Interested to know how others understand variation theory and pedagogy.

Last week some people pointed out how many of my post were obvious to them. But the more I dig into educational research, the less obvious is everything to me. I am becoming increasingly interested in "nuance-based learning". Every idea that is worth my attention is nuanced.

This was a brilliant presentation yesterday from @PepsMccrea. The thread below from Peps provides an excellent insight and is well worth a look.
Summary of my presentation at the Directors of Improvement conference today. (Strap in, it's a bit of a beast) ↓
@CMooreAnderson @tweet_ning I think that last part especially (negative instead of positive) would be rather eye opening.
They’ve given up now. It seems to me that the Conservative Party’s strategy is to bury their heads in the sand until after the election, at which point they will blame the in-coming Labour government for the (escalating) consequences of Brexit and claim that it would have been…
ITV News has learned that imports of food and plants from the EU are being waved through customs even if they have incorrect paperwork @ITVJoel reports on the new Post-Brexit border checks which came into force this morning
Gu’s work is not widely translated. He speaks no English. The Chinese tradition of sameness against a background of variation is rooted in Confucian Heritage Culture.
@CMooreAnderson @jvdallimore @olicav @mfordhamhistory Do you know where/how Guo came to the conclusion that similarity comes first when considering Bianshi? I’ve never been able find something concrete on this, nor find a study the varies (if you pardon the pun) this one aspect.
I'm still working to keep it organism-centred. I'm introducing ATP as the way cells move energy between the biochemical reactions that keep them alive.
Back on track with my online course. I'm creating a list of lessons for a teaching unit on Respiration etc. I'm thinking of starting with ATP (the goal of respiration) and working backwards. Considering this past exam diagram as an opener.
And I'm using the lesson example on page 83 of @CMooreAnderson's book "Biology Made Real". That includes comparing mammalian ventilation to that of frogs. I'm also comparing the lung capacities of the Sherpas & the Bajau people. Designing this course is fun!
So many people are so unserious when they talk about instruction v inquiry. Hyperbole, false generalisations, false comparisons. And then look in the camera 'gotcha'. If you pretend to care about evidence stop such a deeply unserious stance.
Excellent thread from Peps. To me the really crucial bit is how much teachers and leaders underestimate just how important these things are & therefore that these things can't just be left to chance.

@olicav @mfordhamhistory @CMooreAnderson I come back to the ‘primary’ education argument. Clearly we cannot be specialists in the 11 subjects we teach. So I ask, what do the subjects look like in primary? There must be room for generoism otherwise we are doing an impossible task.
@Mr_AlmondED @mfordhamhistory @CMooreAnderson I think this relates — at least for me — to the discussions in the 1990s around when a subject emerges as a fully differentiated domain, in the context of pupils with SLD/PMLD. We concluded, contrary to the NC, that at particular levels subjects inherently were yet to be 'born'.
@olicav @CMooreAnderson @mfordhamhistory @Mr_AlmondED I think he does! But here he's trying to reach those to whom it hasn't occurred that distinctions between fields are crucial in education and that 'you can't cross a boundary until you know where it is' (Wittgenstein, sloppily paraphrased by me)
Off to an interesting start in Anil Seth's Being You: A New Science of Consciousness, page 17 with its initial consideration of 'information processing'.
@olicav @Penny_VB @jvdallimore @CMooreAnderson @mfordhamhistory @Mr_AlmondED Seems to me if you start with pedagogy alone its going to be less successful than starting with content (in this case language) knowledge. (Plus it will end up deadly boring and no one will learn any French)
@olicav @Penny_VB @jvdallimore @CMooreAnderson @mfordhamhistory @Mr_AlmondED Yes that is what I'm thinking. An example I like is to try and figure through how one teaches a second language. You need to know the language well to do it justice (I'm French trained but know where my limit wrt language knowledge after a long time not teaching this subject)
@SallyLars_27 @Penny_VB @jvdallimore @CMooreAnderson @mfordhamhistory @Mr_AlmondED Is it rather more than that in the sense of it being nearer to what Hattie identifies as a feature of the best teachers: an understanding of the subject's 'deep structures'?
