What a privilege to celebrate and contribute to the University of Cambridge Primary School Lesson Study programme, earlier this week. It was wonderful to see that establishing authentic audiences for children's writing has impacted so positively on their motivation and confidence. 🙌🏾 #WritingRocks

🧵An important part of the primary experience is having a lovely time- adults ringfencing the unique state of childhood and ensuring that primary is a glorious place to be little. Playful and joyful are not the antonyms of high standards and aspiration.

The problem with using AI as a writing teacher is that you have no idea how it produced the piece. To teach writing effectively, you need to understand the decisions writers make - so you can pass that knowledge on to your students too.

You hear a lot of arguments about the abstract need to "slim down" the curriculum - without the detail about exactly what should be cut. In our latest post I take this argument seriously and suggest 2 specific topics that could be cut from primary - but I also warn against

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Aidan Chambers. His reflections on reading, the environments that nurture it, and the centrality of talk have profoundly shaped the way I understand and teach literature. His influence will remain with me always.

I did a talk about formative assessment and the science of learning at the @LearningandtheB conference in New York last month, and InnerDrive's Brad Busch was kind enough to write up some notes. He also asked me some follow-up questions: bit.ly/42Zq9G4

You cannot standardise great writing. When we try, we trade brilliance for uniformity — and all we’re left with is writing that follows — never leads.

“Adults position themselves as writers within the classroom community, modelling their own writing processes alongside children; a significant shift from their traditional role of micro-managing teacher-led writing tasks.” 👏 👏 NWP UK

Leadership isn't measured by how many followers you have. It's gauged by how may lives you improve. Selfish leaders divide people to advance personal agendas. Servant leaders unite people to achieve common goals. The best leaders are those who bring out the best in others.
