Are you looking to harness feedback and pupil understanding in the classroom to adapt your teaching?
The new Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) ‘Check.Adapt’ tool offers a simple scaffold for reflection.

Leading with 'the Greens don't have financial might' is an interesting approach... when you've accepted big donations from shady businesses and your master of the dark arts is being questioned by police over his association with a fancier sex offender
Everyone has pointed at individual people + appointments for terrible comms strategy coming from DS, but these delusional responses suggest there's a much deeper, systematic detachment from where the country is at...
just can't tell if that's with the PM and his team, the cabinet, or wider PLP
(not genuinely 98%, and very much support progressive taxation... but not this RPI + whatever we fancy nonsense!)
Some more opportunities for North West schools have gone live this week, with the launch of 14 new Education Endowment Foundation funded projects.

Endcliffe Park at its best, by looks of it!
Wide range definitions given for a key educational term by those working in FE / 16-19 education this week, via the EEF Exchange.
Education is littered with abstract nouns that are interpreted in various ways.
This causes lots of confusion, and leads to very different behaviours in practice.
@juliangrenier.bsky.social sets out three areas where changing the approach to early years workforce training could make a big difference to the youngest pupils
This is what we setup the EEF Exchange for - to speak directly with educators and respond to educator needs.
Signing up is super simple, it’s completely free, and members can engage with regular polls, etc, as much or as little as they want.

A couple of super simple insights, but highly valuable – they help us combine what we know from research with practitioner knowledge, voice and expertise.

And after we spoke to hundreds of teachers & leaders through surveys, interviews, and focus groups about their barriers to using evidence, we developed a new guide on the topic, with extra tools.

For example, a few months ago we carried out in-depth interviews with college practitioners on a framework we were planning to publish.
We found that the language it used wasn’t quite appropriate – it caused confusion: 'Learn' became 'Select'.

At the EEF, listening to educators is a priority.
It’s central to how we shape guidance, tools, and resources.
It’s written into our strategy - literally.
2/6
Lots of national education coverage this week, with some weighty, controversial stuff.
Always interesting to think about how the experiences of educators have fed into national and local policy changes.

This briefing culture was built during the Corbyn years, wasn't it? Old habits die hard, even in Gov.
Good luck getting it sorted. Same thing happened to me and I tried and failed to get X to respond many times.
Going to report as cyber crime & identity theft to police next.

Over Christmas, we Madgwicks have been predicting what 2026 holds for the UK’s finances.
To do so, I’ve taken stock of the winners and losers of the economy over the last year or so.
Expect a bit of an education leaning here, given my work. 🧵
Pretty stunning that of the 3,751 NEU members polled, only 60 per cent said they voted Labour in 2024.
A lot of causal claims made of some pretty limited poll correlations in that PH piece.
Don't really doubt that educators feel working conditions are worse now than in 2023/24 though.
Happy new year Sean - hope it's a good week for you all at TVED!
Keep doing what you're doing @gunnerblog.bsky.social.
Hope to bump into you in a N. London pub to buy you a pint & thank you for all the great content and insight.
What utter idiots.
Do often think that some people genuinely aren't emotionally mature enough to understand what sport and supporting your team is all about.
One of at least two top spots I hope you to be celebrating this season Gary!
Can't work out whether the obstinate refusal to acknowledge structural failings of our economy on the left are due
A) failing to grasp the scale of the problem, or
B) a hopeless cling to a world order and view that they perceive as 'sensible' and balanced that actually thrives on monopolisation.
…whilst also paying attention to big corporate profits, their pay to executives, and statements to shareholders and through stock prices.
Endless discussions on the ‘cost of living’ so often ignores how unequally we experience the economy: one person’s crisis is another’s profit and gain.
Don’t need to agree with everyone on every topic, but important to filter out those who cling to an outdated way of thinking that likens economic change to the weather…
worthy of a 5 minute snippet on the evening news but ultimately at the whims of fate.
Also going to make a habit of listening to @macrodosepod.bsky.social , @novaramedia.com @graceblakeley.substack.com , @neildotobrien.bsky.social, @garyseconomics.bsky.social and others.
