Time for reflection is just a vital as time for relaxation so the Future of English @LondonLATE summer conference on Saturday will cheer you in many ways. Plus super lunch! See you there!
Good rant!
Looking back on 14 years of the Tories is like looking back at the traumatising post-vindaloo shit you just did in the toilet.
I'm watching a little person learning to read. Everything that @charliehacking & @Dominic_Wyse say in their brilliant book on reading is happening before my eyes. The double helix model should be a game-changer, with reading & writing intimately connected & meaning at its heart.
Query Is it true in Leighton Buzzard that the blizzards are a hazard for the wizards who are gathered with their lizards who have staggered where the buzzards with their gizzards hover overhead haphazard? Or not?
Very striking! I would like to see the same analysis made for UK wealth.
I do not want to get political on this medium but this is such a striking visualisation of a system that does not seem functional for collective flourishing that I think all should see it.
We believe that playful classroom conversations evolve into purposeful and empowering dialogue: oracy in the curriculum. Our newsletter is updated and we are promoting the next @LondonLATE conference on 6th July. Hope to see you there!
It’s true I have a funny bone (We all have, I believe) It’s just that I don’t show it off — I keep it up my sleeve.
Intimations of Dotheboys Hall.
We're increasingly hearing from teachers working in large MATs about the demoralising experience of having to teach a centrally imposed curriculum of poor quality. I can't think of anything more damaging for English. Wake up MAT leaders. One way is rarely the best way
Even if you can't make it to our in person resources development in Bristol on 21/5, you can still browse our activities and choose one to try out and one to tweak. @BetterBilingual PS We plan to post the results of our collaborative planning.
Only a week now to our hands on workshop with @BetterBilingual in Bristol on 21st May. See you there.
@Miff__ If viewed as a commodity it can be monetized, if viewed as a process - a long conversation it can be free for all.
@BarbaraBleiman Collaborative Learning provides lots of scaffolds for reading aloud to each other, to small groups, to the rest of the class with curriculum foci (love that word!). Join our @BetterBilingual workshop in Bristol on 21/5.
@WTACRaymond @AndrewEMC Oracy needs to be modelled by teachers sharing exploratory talk with each other
Oracy is the verbal equivalent of literacy. Listening is to reading, talking is to writing. All four need to be developed together in a planned oracy/literacy curriculum. It is not a fad or a strategy: it is fundamental learning.
We're increasingly hearing from teachers working in large MATs about the demoralising experience of having to teach a centrally imposed curriculum of poor quality. I can't think of anything more damaging for English. Wake up MAT leaders. One way is rarely the best way
We have neglected to remind you of LATE's cheap and inspiring research conference: 'Becoming our own Experts this Saturday. Drop everything and come along. Explore the difference between research and teacher action research londonenglishteachers.com
English Association is spot on with their warning on Ofsted's narrow interpretation of spoken language in their telling the story report.englishassociation.ac.uk/our-response-t…
Well done @guardian. And it's not just money. MATs often v controlling of curriculum too. Multiple schools teaching exactly the same. Deprofessionalising for teachers + in extreme cases leads to 1000s of students learning from sub-standard material theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
