Beyond thrilled to have received this award today from @NATEfeed. Only sorry I was unable to be there to collect it in person. NATE do such good work within the English teaching community and it's a privilege to be able to contribute.

And that breadth and richness has to start much earlier - just like attainment gaps do. Children need to be enjoying maths at six, not just at sixteen. That's why Labour has set out plans for an ambitious review of the curriculum & how it's assessed. https://t.co/wtaANpDFGA

Seeing recently qualified teachers so committed to a specific teaching ideology is very depressing indeed. The route to Twitter stardom and a book deal with a publisher that is just an echo chamber for Twitter teacher celebs? Perhaps. The route to genuine PD? No.

Ideas about deliberate practice, popularised by Anders Ericsson + referenced in lots of the @Ofstednews research reviews, are based largely on work in fields like chess, medicine, classical music and ... golf! Nothing on English. So why is this work in the English review?

Word gap proponents claim that low-income and racialised children have a poor vocabulary and that more words will make them richer. But the only people getting richer are the word gap proponents themselves. They turn ideologies of linguistic deficit into material economic profit.

A response to the Ofsted Research Review for English by @EngMediaCentre is now up on EMC's website. It's clearly a day for telling home truths to those in power! We don't pull our punches in critiquing what we regard as a rather poor piece of work. https://t.co/3LRVbHVU9g
