🚨🚨 Are we expecting too much from retrieval practice? I combine data from my research with @englishspecial and Ofsted's science subject report to explore this.

Thanks @theASE for accepting my paper 👇. I would recommend wrting for them, really supportive review process. They even put mine open access. ase.org.uk/resources/scho…



The gifts kept coming today, this time from our lovely Level 4 students. How lucky we are to work with such thoughtful students!

Truly lucky to teach such lovely undergraduate students. I got to spend my birthday today with our Level 6s who bought me a card and chocolates (which were shared before lunch…).

Today a Year 6 child asked if I’d heard the new KSI song and I was quietly glad they thought I was cool enough to even know who KSI is.


I’ve had an excellent day with our Level 4 Primary Education Studies students at Cambridge Central Library discussing the importance of libraries and exploring their children’s literature.

Met Lulu at the European premiere of ‘Elton John: Never Too Late’ at the American Express gala at @BFI London Film Festival and honestly, it may have been the gayest night of my year. Not mad about it! Truly great film! @eltonofficial @DisneyPlus

10 months since completing the PGCert in Teaching and Learning, today was the first face-to-face day on the PGCert in Lead Mentoring for ITT. A very insightful and collaborative start to the course! @AngliaRuskin @ARU_AHESS

A colleague showed me teacher TikTok today and OH MY GOD 🤯🤯 Literally millions of likes for teachers videoing themselves *in lessons* Millions of likes for classroom practice that are actively bad for student learning 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯


Today, we welcomed our Level 5 and 6 students back and asked what words come to mind when they think of our Primary Education Studies course… #ARUProud of everyone who works hard to ensure our students feel this way! @AngliaRuskin @ARUEducation @ARU_AHESS #education #primaryed
