Is it reasonable that I'm feeling saying "Literacy is an English Teacher's Responsibility" is somehow a controversial statement? chris.edutronic.net/the-conference/

My cherished friend Bagley and I are both HoDs of English at boys' schools. What better reason to launch a podcast! podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/its…

The 2nd edition of 'How Learning Happens' is finally out! and @P_A_Kirschner and I are very excited to share it. Here's a brief preview of what's new ⬇️ 🧵 ➡️ Firstly, we felt that the missing elements in the first part of the 1st edition all fell within the broader category of memory and specifically how it underpins, foregrounds, and interacts with learning so we added a new section featuring 5 seminal works and why educators should know about them. ➡️There is a new foreward by John Sweller. ➡️ We also added a second closing chapter in which, after discussing the ten deadly sins of education (the original concluding chapter), we discuss the ways in which seminal research can become distorted into dysfunctional implementations of its original form, what Brown and Campione christened “Lethal Mutations”. ➡️ Finally we’ve updated, checked, and rechecked the links and QR‑codes, added some links to new additional materials, and corrected mistakes that we and others found in the original book.

If you share our concern about the 1000s of boys in New Zealand who are not realising their potential - come and join us at our conference. We're bringing together a group of experts - all of whom seek to lift up boys and see them thrive trybooking.com/nz/QXM @BorrowdaleLaura

@MorganGodfery I worked at Mount Aspiring college for a number of years and could not agree more. I was literally hounded out of the town. Those “pride” events are nothing more than the worst kind of perfomative allyship.

@Miff__ @LNS_MissJ @emma_au_soleil @LitdriveUK We took it to the level of having the students choose their class and teacher. We do this now in my current school too. Choice!
