T1 this week is basically a book in a blog post (it actually ended up as a book!). Will take a significant amount of time to work through Tom Sherrington's comprehensive repository of info here, so well worth familiarising ourselves with what's there for current and future reference.

T2 is an absolute gift. Over 40 research summaries by Dylan Wiliam.

T3, again from Tom Sherrington is a taste of his wisdom shared. This time on how to effectively use questioning in the classroom (and the types of questioning that exist).

T4 is well worth a listen and helped me to further come to terms with the great responsibility, and opportunity, embodied in the role of principal.

T5 is my most commented upon tweet ever, an excerpt from Dylan Wiliam's book ‘Leadership for Teacher Learning', which I'm currently reading in preparation for our ERRR Podcast discussion later on in the year. This book is crucial reading for anyone working to improve teaching in their school. It's having a big impact on my plans for next year and the senior maths department that I work with. More to come on this in the coming months.

T7 is worth checking out if you're not super familiar with ‘desirable difficulties' already.

T8, T9, and T10 are also well worth checking out.

Enjoy : )
