Funny how the characteristics that constitute ‘diversity‘ do not include diversity of thought or views. 🤔

*Diagnostic overshadowing* can thwart inclusive teaching. What's useful for teachers to know: ↓
Surely, it is more effective to train teachers in proven methods that produce capable readers than training them to use adaptive teaching techniques. One produces independence for children, the other dependence. 2/
“The longer a teacher talks for, the more likely it is the number of pupils paying attention decreases.” Great blog on strategies to ensure students pay attention during the lessons explanation. Well worth a read. Thanks @priteshraichura.bsky.social bunsenblue.wordpress.com/2025/02/08/c...

I genuinely believe teaching is the best profession! We are responsible for shaping characters of our pupils as much as we think hard about how to improve their attainment. How stimulating & what a privilege. My article with @joshpd.bsky.social below 👇🏼 #EduSky schoolsweek.co.uk/we-need-a-be...

3 and a half years ago, a small group of 11 teachers set up Ark Soane Academy. We are now recruiting for our FIFTH year as a school. Where has the time gone?! 🧵
Thank you to everyone who came to our second Ark Soane History conference yesterday. It was such a joy to see so many history teacher colleagues together. As always, I’m proudest of our pupils who were so keen to help and talk about history. What a lovely day. #Soane25
This is a really interesting blog. Often our questioning focuses on ‘check for understanding’ rather than ‘check for attention’. I’ve started using ‘choral response’ and ‘I say you say’ much more in my teaching and it’s really effective. 👏

Ofsted's proposed 'toolkits' have been criticised as being too unclear - but do they make sense?
