There has been a lot of interest in my form time resources, I have 25 schools primary and secondary in UK and abroad trailing them, so thought i would see if i could share the evaluation at a researchED. If not I will be there anyway to hear some great people talk about education

I'm working on a crib sheet to support with curriculum coaching. I have used the EEF framework for mechanisms to consider questions for the coach to consider prior to leading a session on an area of curriculum. Still early stages but ran it past some HOD on results day and they liked it

#edusky I have previously shared our new form time activities developing pupils understanding of learning. After recent conversations on here, I have decided to add an introduction lesson on "why working hard is difficult." And link to misconceptions about motivation.

I met with a group of "underachieving year 11s last year" to find out what was wrong. I used target grades to identify them. Turns out I didn't need to here why

This graph is clear evidence that measuring pupils against target grades is pointless, this is the range of ks4 outcomes from a large group of pupils with the same ks1 starting point. Thanks Alex. #edsky

Also as part of our push next year to step up pupils understanding of "How learning happens we want to focus on leaning goals. Easier to do without target grades
