@MarsdenRoad @EricaStanfordMP What an honour to welcome a delegation of New Zealand principals, led by the NZ Minister of Education, to MRPS who visited to observe our learning culture. Conversations like these remind us that great education is a global conversation.

Another reminder from the brilliant @HollyLanePhD ๐
Not all โevidenceโ is created equal.
If an intervention canโt point to randomized control trials, systematic reviews, or meta-analysesโฆitโs not strong evidence.
Parents & educators:
โก๏ธ Demand quality
โก๏ธ Ask for the research
โก๏ธ Watch for snake oil

It was such an honour to meet @NickGibbUK today at the #SoLA conference today. As the Minister for Education, he did outstanding work shifting England to the explicit teaching of phonics, maths and knowledge rich curriculum. He now works to improve education around the world.
