🧠 A thread on “something in teaching/teacher development that seems obviously true, but *might* not be”. Or at least not so cut-and-dried…
In the dock: “Obviously, rehearsal should be as authentic as possible.”
At first glance this sounds pretty hard to disagree with… 🧵

🗞️ Super proud to have a piece in the latest @CharteredColl Impact journal alongside the brilliant @wheninclass.
Is deliberate practice a salve-all for CPD and teacher education? Where might it help (or hinder)? Thoughts, challenge and feedback welcome!

In a @Steplab_co seminar on Wednesday, I promised that I would post some links to recent research on instructional coaching.
Is IC better than other PD? How much do coaches vary in effectiveness? How can we train coaches?
