Y6 teachers/SLT When SATs results become available, download your pupils' papers from the portal - they make for a very useful tool in explaining how to/how not to answer questions - especially for the 3 markers on the reading paper.

They say you should never release things on a Sunday as engagement is rubbish, but I have finally gotten around to writing why I think we need a healthy does of scepticism around AI in Education. > t.co/y29zavcz4E Let me know your thoughts.

The Easter holidays are here, so I have a copy of Primary Reading Simplified to give away. Just **repost** this post to have a chance to win. The winner will be selected 19th April.
Some Y6 SATs advice... Teach pupils, that whenever there is a multiple-choice question, they must go through each of them and eliminate the wrong answers as well as looking for the right answer. Prevents a lot of errors in my experience.
After a week off, your #EduWeeklyRoundUp is back with a bang. #BOTW to @blakeharvard.bsky.social plus loads more (particularly for those with an interest in maths): classteaching.wordpress.com/2025/03/21/w...

Looking forward to it!
Aimée Tinkler@aimeetinkler.bsky.social · 2y agoLast bit for now (it’s a work in progress) is to welcome @morgsedu.bsky.social to our trust conference day after half term to build on Jade’s work in the context of task design as part of our wider curriculum work with @pkckst.bsky.social
We are very lucky to have Danny teaching in our trust!
Jon Hutchinson@jonhutchinson.bsky.social · 2y agoThis teacher had me, and all of the class, waiting with bated breath to hear how the neighbouring European empires were responding to the revolutionary activity in France. Children were talking about what might be motivating the monarchs nearby. Everyone was learning TONS.
What do you do when the headteacher says you have to move on with the tour, but you just can’t bring yourself to leave the classroom? That’s the position that I was in yesterday at West London Free School Primary. Year 5 were learning about the Napeolonic Wars and I was on the edge of my seat.
Through PKC, pupils collect and represent increasingly complex data! via The Duston School on Twitter
Blocking primary DT; @morgsedu.bsky.social explains how progression is effectively built into our @pkckst.bsky.social curriculum ⬇️
Primary Knowledge Curriculum@pkckst.bsky.social · 2y agoDT is often taught in blocks. So, how can we ensure progression? Read tomorrow's newsletter to find out! Sign up free here - http://eepurl.com/dKze0s
Can't wait to dive into this from @suchmo83.bsky.social I learnt a lot from his first book and I am looking forward to developing my knowledge base further.
Charlotte should have said that Frankie was the traitor because she only counted 3 minutes to stop the coin task early rather than the full 5. I was screaming at the TV for her to make that play!
I'm not a class teacher and don't use AI but I still find it an interesting read. Worth checking out!
Neil Almond@mralmonded.bsky.social · 2y agoHello everyone! 😊 1️⃣ I run a weekly newsletter called TeacherPrompts, supporting educators in integrating AI into education. 📚🤖 2️⃣ it offers teachers insights, practical tips, and the latest industry developments to enhance teaching methods and administrative tasks. ✨
Powerful graphic here from @pepsmccrea.bsky.social and @steplab.bsky.social PD becomes centred on techniques, but it is the purpose and principles that they rest on that matters most. The technique is simply a manifestation of them. Check out their new documentary if you haven't yet!
Getting ready for #TDaPELondon tomorrow. Will be talking about the Norwich Writing Project and our work improving KS2 writing across a whole city. There will be toolkits and portfolios available for all attendees.

Are we being ‘instructionally efficient’?
I find that debates into methods of instruction often discuss ‘efficiency’ implicitly, though rarely by name. For the sake of this blog, I define ‘instructional efficiency’ as the speed…

Direct instruction vs discovery-based learning is a false dichotomy. Both pedagogical approaches have utility, but at different times in the learning process. It is not a question of which one should I use, but rather, when should I employ each one? morgsedu.wordpress.com/2025/01/11/a...
