I've seen people criticized for using the words "effectiveness" and "efficiency" in education. Whatever you think education should do, if you don't care about effectiveness, you don't care about students, and if you don't care about efficiency, you don't care about teachers.

Coherence, not consistency
Although there are some useful ideas about teaching that apply to the teaching of 3 years olds and 18 year olds, or teaching English or music, the reality is that these are different.

“It is useful to track complex concepts back to their most fundamental, overarching of concepts because the more we do that, the more likely it is that we find common ground on prior knowledge.” This feels very relevant - a great post @MrNickHart

Can a school improvement plan embrace complexity?
We’ll never capture the full complexity of school leadership in a table. We can make sure that it guides thinking towards appreciation of complexity rather than working in opposition.

Some images from our incredible student performance last week, Matilda! 📚 We just loved watching the children on stage performing their hearts out. Their energy and enthusiasm was inspiring.

What an inspiring event at @researchED1 - thanks to @WEK_Primary and the team for organising. Safe to say talking teacher development with @ProfCoe and @MrNickHart was incredibly insightful #rEDDubai
