I had a brilliant morning at ADMTC2026.
A grassroots conferences dedicated to deep thinking about our profession. Great fun.

I spoke with Vaughan recently about Maths teaching, @AddvanceMaths and more.
Vaughan is a constructivist teacher, and I am not. We spoke about this difference between these approaches (17:00).

Somehow missed the publication of 4 evaluations of Trauma Informed Practice funded by YEF and the Home Office, the first RCTs looking at the connection between trauma informed practice and children's behaviour and involvement in crime.
Headline: "no or very small positive impact"

There are such limited resources in our public services, we don’t have enough people, money or time and everything we choose to do means that we aren’t doing something else. Evidence of what does consistently make a difference gives us the best bet on where to focus that resource

ADMTC next weekend. Very excited to host and present a session.
The enthusiasm for it has been awesome, not many professions are so eager to give up their Saturday mornings to geek out and think I deeply about practice.
Great stuff.

Life hack:
Schedule send yourself emails you need to action in a few weeks time.
Schedule send is very good, I use it all the time.

A recurring feature of education is how romantic jibber-jabber about the centrality of projects, cross-subject, and student-led tasks, flourishes fashionably, bears no fruit, and having withered, is reborn a generation later under a new alias. And everyone breathlessly follows the trend, thinking themselves to be the Adam and Eve of this new Eden.

Hirsch’s index of edu-lingo written in 1996 continues to be timeless.
Here is an example of the rhetoric traced to 1918. It parallels the misguided fads of 2026 as yet again popular discourse tries to reinvent education in the age of AI, oblivious about the mistakes of the past.

We really don't teach or learn from history enough. Reading my books on education from a century or more ago is still so relevant to today. Incredibly frustrating to see the system hasn't learned from the past.

"Observers found the project method to be the least effective mode of pedagogy...but the terminology shifted and the practice remained in different forms under different names such as 'discovery learning', 'hands-on learning',..."

There's an old saying that all of Western philosophy is basically a footnote to Plato. We could say, without much exaggeration, that all that is useful and sensible in education is basically a footnote to Hirsch.
