@LearningAtScale @rose_e_wang @YannHicke Riz, Dorna and @rose_e_wang have presented on how LLMs might support the scaffolding of middle school math curricula, saving teacher time and facilitating high quality differentiation. https://t.co/L9DMB9H7U7

The EduNLP lab had a great representation at @LearningAtScale this year! So proud of Dorna, Joy, Mei, Riz, @rose_e_wang and @YannHicke for presenting three awesome projects!!! 🚀🤩More in thread 👇

Really good thread on the huge mess we are in and some possible options to deal with it

Imagine class of 30 kids about to go into an exam hall for their test on An Inspector Calls. They’re nervous, but have been taught well and are mostly prepared. Now imagine that for 5 of these pupils, their parents arrive. They’d like to sit next to them for the exam.

nice summary - quick intervention to boost connection and success in tutoring, and illustrates power of adding rapid trials onto major progs to enhance impact. Inducing and evaluating variations within progs at least as important as evaluating progs overall!

Some great coverage of our NTP trials in @SchoolsWeek

We are thrilled to have achieved successful results from a *second* randomised control trial with @EducEndowFoundn, @B_I_Tweets – further evidence of the quality and impact of our tutoring in schools across the North. @ImpetusUK https://t.co/HlDBMJMsB2

Excited to be able to share findings from our work applying behavioural insights to try and improve pupil attendance at tutoring sessions! 📈👩‍🏫✅ See if you can guess what worked 🤔 The culmination of a lot of work with @rizmalik_ and a wider ace team at @B_I_Tweets 🙏🏽

📈One of these interventions improved pupil attendance at tutoring sessions. What do you think worked? 🤔

We're very grateful to all of the tutoring orgs (@TheTutorTrust, @tutors_sp, @TuteEducation, @ManningsTutors) that agreed to take part in the research in the middle of the pandemic. And a special shout out to @Lal_Chadeesingh for leading all of the work!

Snap Survey was a tool we developed that helped tutors and pupils find out what they had in common, helping to improve their relationship. In an RCT with 9k pupils, we found that using this activity boosted attendance by 4 percentage points.

Really excited to see our research into boosting attendance at tutoring sessions published today. This was a lot of hard work, and we're delighted to be sharing this positive result 🙌🏽

@TeachFirst @TF_Ambassadors

a few great jobs going in BIT's education team at the moment 👇🏽

@Stanford I owe huge thanks to @KnightHennessy for making this possible, and to all the people that supported my application - @Lal_Chadeesingh, @libbylhhills, @carloraffo and Mark Twitchell. I am so grateful for your continued support and mentorship🙏🏽

@Stanford Whilst at Stanford, I’ll be working on the use of data science and technology in the education sector, and how it can be used to drive meaningful improvements in learning outcomes worldwide. I can’t wait to get started. https://t.co/NivR8FGyey

I'm incredibly excited to share that I have been selected as a Knight-Hennessy Scholar, and will be heading to @Stanford later this year!

loved this piece about dodgy employers and smoked fish 🐟🐟
