I was working with a group of teachers from multiple schools last week: HALF of them are required to use Verbal Feedback stamps or write VF in books when supporting pupils in class.
Is this the norm?!
Seems like this message from the EEF feedback report is still not impacting on school policies…

Exam Nation by @sammywright.bsky.social is a 99p deal on kindle today. Highly recommend it for anyone thinking about schools at the system level (it's not really about exams, or at least not just about them).

Today we launched our EEF pilot, ‘Thinking Mathematically’, to over 50 teachers from across the North West at Bolton Stadium.
Tomorrow the roadshow hits York, and we’re in Kendal later in the week.
Super excited to work with all of the schools who’ve signed up!

This looks like interesting and important work.
Building a culture of community and belonging for children in our schools is vital, especially for more vulnerable pupils.

So happy to share a big project that I’ve been working on for the last few years with my LSX teammates.
The building belonging project features insights from world experts, as well as classroom resources.
