Ditching Differentiation? "It’s fair to say that the term ‘differentiation’ has had its day in education (or at least in England). At one point, it was considered to be an integral element of lesson planning, design and delivery to ensure all learners were involved and could succeed. Adaptive teaching has gained interest and attention within the profession, but with some teachers understandably asking: is this the new differentiation? Is adaptive teaching simply a new label for an old approach?" Blog by @KateJones_teach hubs.la/Q0438BVb0

Thanks for a great evening. Congratulations @RipleyITT on 10 outstanding years.

Great Heads’ meeting today, planning for the year ahead, reflecting and supporting each other with the constant array of challenges and opportunities. Hugely thought provoking session from @ChrisUpton14. Thank you! We need more sparkle… ✨

Spending time in the natural world provides a sense of balance and belonging. For young people, access to nature is so important for helping to build confidence, self-belief, life skills, and a sense of perspective. That is why organisations like @scouts are so important. #SkillsForLife 🎥 Watch the full film on YouTube: youtu.be/vEzwz_KisAU

As Scouts, we bring young people together to celebrate our differences and recognise that we all have more in common than what divides us. Scouts chose hope, not hate. Violence and thuggery has no place in our society.

Excited to have been appointed as the substantive Chair of @WandFCouncil Local Alliance of System Leaders- the body of all nursery, primary and secondary school and academy leaders working to unlock the potential within our school system and to raise standards for all.

Great to work with such talented trainee teachers today.

When two worlds collide…

Looking forward to attending and speaking at Safeguarding Insights 2024 today. #GlobalSafeguarding
