To attain knowledge, add things everyday. To attain wisdom, remove things every day. (Lao Tzu)
Cynicism: ‘Leadership failed to fix behaviour before. It’ll be the same story all over again.’ A staff body shorn of hope cannot turn behaviour around. But that is very often the prevailing mood. SLT need to sell a narrative of hope.
Ideology: 30% of staff want strict systems. 30% are malleable. 30% want restorative approaches. 10% will go against anything you say or do. That’s the first thing to tackle! Without a clear ideology you will be buffeted by events.
THREAD: Inspired by @teacherhead's blog, here are all the things I’ve found that make behaviour leadership difficult in turnaround schools. Many of these turn on culture – there is already an established set of norms and values.
🚨 NEW POST 🚨 'Adaptive Teaching: Scaffolds, Scale, Structure & Style' "It's important, if we're trying to help teachers move on from differentiation, to be clear how tasks can be adapted whilst retaining the same challenging goal." Feat. @ClareSealy theconfidentteacher.com/2024/04/adapti…
.@C_Hendrick’s keynote at @researchED_US was astoundingly good. I caught most of it on video… Sorry that it’s in Tweetable chunks, but I promise that it’s worth the headache of pressing Play a few times. What is learning, Carl asks?
It is often assumed that the rate at which we forget things depends on how well we learned them. By varying how many times the material was presented, in four experiments, "the rate of forgetting proved to be independent of initial acquisition" bit.ly/3TcJFty

New post, this time on school leadership The problem of conformist bias and prestige bias birminghamteacher.wordpress.com/2024/03/30/the…
The anti-smartphone movement will be one of the biggest movements of our time. It's just getting started...
The Matthew Effect: The rich get richer; the poor get poorer. If you are in knowledge and language-rich home or school, you are poised to grow richer still in vocabulary. If you don't, you are likely to fall further behind. 11/11
A brief thread on knowledge, vocabulary growth, and the "Matthew Effect." The vast majority of words you know and use were acquired by exposure not direct study. Consider how a child might encounter, learn, and ultimately add the word “endure” to her vocabulary. 1/11
"Our data suggest that for classes in which retrieval practice occurred, 92% of students reported that retrieval practice helped them learn and 72% reported that retrieval practice made them less nervous for unit tests and exams." researchgate.net/publication/26…
@Debi22979287 @helenrey @toddle_edu General problem solving is biologically primary—even crows can do it. Problem solving in a specific domain such as maths is biologically secondary, so for most learners, needs to be taught. For novices, this is best done by explicit teaching; for experts, problem solving is best.
"High school students exposed to explicit instruction in reading & math are significantly outperforming their peers, a comprehensive study involving 16,000 students has uncovered..step-by-step teaching & consistent feedback..advancing academic outcomes" bnnbreaking.com/world/australi…
Cognitive load theory provides teachers with a means of attempting to view the world through the eyes of a student (Hattie & Yates, 2014). Here, some principles of learning derived from this theory are presented. Shouldn't they be integral to teacher education curricula?
"Handwriting but not typewriting leads to widespread brain connectivity" perhaps because handwriting adds desirable difficulties to the task of writing (although participants had to type with just one finger): bit.ly/3HGsRVe
A recent meta-analysis demonstrates that students benefit from structured, predictable environments for learning -- no matter the grade-level. That structure should not simply be about controlling behaviour, but about building autonomy. Ask students! write.as/manderson/rese…
