Nobody wins in the hot chocolate schools. Lived it myself. Promoted the ideas in my youthful naivety before reading books like Running the Room. Big mistake. Forever grateful to not being part of that culture now.

I know this place is not what it used to be, but I want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has freely shared their thinking. I started to think about improving my teaching because of the blogs, tweets and interactions that arose from here.
I don’t have any data as evidence but after a month of explicitly teaching a knowledge-rich curriculum, I am even more convinced the greatest motivator to learn is successful learning. I’m seeing and hearing it. They want to learn more because they’ve experienced real learning.
*NEW POST* Reframing success. Some of the points I shared at #rED25 yesterday. (link in reply)
A schools behaviour plan/routine does not have to be a rhyming slogan.
I agree from a ‘meaningful learning’ - Asubel viewpoint. One sentence can’t capture nuance and I suspect this will be an easy target for people to attack it from a CLT view. Obviously we need knowledge in LTM to draw upon and have thoughts. We strive for developed schemas not..

We told ourselves kids were “digital natives.” Turns out they’re just digitally captive. Conscientiousness is falling, anxiety is rising, and 70% see porn before 18 while TikTok feeds them self-harm. The real online safety crisis is what tech is doing to our children's…

The encroaching adoption of AI in education presents some interesting questions to us. Why do we put children through school? If you think it’s ’to jump through hoops and get certificates’ then you’ll believe it should be used as much as possible. If you believe ‘it’s to learn…

I have a great deal of respect for The Sutton Trust but this worries me. This could be a costly investment in something quite damaging to young people. Lord only knows the kinds of “AI Initiatives” schools and companies will make up with no evidence to back it!

I loved this episode. Christine really *gets* education, and has done the hard intellectual work required to come to sophisticated and challenging opinions. Everyone should listen to what she has to say. Please share if you can 🙏

Honoured to announce my appointment to the UNESCO IBE Science of Learning editorial board. I’m excited to support the work of bringing clear, actionable research to educators worldwide.
Behaviour always comes first. You cannot do anything until behaviour is sorted, and fundamentally the main driver of that change is leadership. Centralised systems, robust escalatory processes, consistent strategies and unwavering support. All necessary conditions. 👇🔥👇🔥

Before spending hours telling teachers what new found research that they need to know about for their teaching, make sure the behaviour they are being confronted with is manageable enough that they can think about more than just surviving another day.
@NEUnion My children worked hard to prep for their sats & told me they enjoyed them Their results are good & they have had a positive experience which prepares them well for secondary This is because we have great staff, great kids & the right culture These tests are far from harmful
It’s inconceivable to me that a quarter of the UK population is mentally ill. Rather, the language of ‘mental illness’ - depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD - has become a culturally acceptable way to express our dissatisfaction with, and rejection of, the demands of society.
