Think you've got that next big project all sorted in your head? Hold that thought because today we're going to explore why sometimes those best answers often come when we dare to dream just a little bit bigger.In this episode of the organisational change series, Shane explores the 'develop' stage of the change process, where schools need to think big before narrowing down solutions. Through real examples and practical frameworks, learn why temporarily suspending practical constraints might lead to better solutions for your school.Key TopicsWhy schools need to think big before getting practicalThe power of "no limits" conversations in leadership teamsThe four Rs of de-implementation: reduce, remove, re-engineer, replaceHow one international school transformed their approach to student wellbeing through expansive thinkingThe crucial balance: adding new initiatives whilst taking things awayResources MentionedMaking Room for Impact by John Hattie, Dylan Wiliam, and Aaron HamiltonPrevious episode with Aaron Hamilton on De-implementationEpisode PartnersThe International Curriculum Association | Learn more at internationalcurriculum.com.The University of Warwick's International Programmes | Learn more at warwick.ac.ukThank you for tuning in, and as always, if you found this episode useful, please share your experience.

Te gast zijn onderwijspedagoog Joop Berding en toetsdeskundige Anke Swanenberg en we spreken over ambachtelijk onderwijs en formatief handelen, naar aanleiding van het prachtige boekje Het tractaat over het spieken van Cornelis Verhoeven, uitgegeven door Telos.We gaan eerst in op de kern van de filosofie van het onderwijs van deze Nederlandse filosoof en classicus. Volgens Joop draait het bij Verhoeven om kennis en om de eruditie van de leraar, die door middel van de verwondering de interesse en de motivatie van de leerling wekt. Onderwijs gebeurt in een pedagogische relatie tussen leraar en leerling en in de school als een eigen biotoop. Verhoeven zet zich hiermee af tegen onderwijs dat enkel alleen gericht is op het snelle resultaat. Dat noemt hij de productie van schijn.Deze filosofie van het onderwijs sluit wonderwel aan bij wat toetsdeskundige Anke zo aantrekt in formatief handelen en cijferloos werken. Vanuit het gedachtegoed van Dylan Wiliam onderscheidt zij de leer- en de presteerzone. Zolang leerlingen in de leerzone zitten, helpen formatief handelen en kwaliteitsbesef hen verder en moet je ze niet kwellen met beoordelingen, iets wat Verhoeven ook voorstaat voor examenleerlingen. In de presteerzone zullen leerlingen dan niet verrassend anders scoren op summatieve toetsen.In het tweede deel van het gesprek gaan we dieper en persoonlijker in op de ervaringen, inspiraties en visies van Joop en Anke ten aanzien van goed onderwijs en het ambacht van de leraar.Deze podcast is mede mogelijk gemaakt door schoolleidersopleiding ATTC, onderwijsadvies School Matters en rustplek De vallei van het goede leven.

On this episode of Mind The Gap, Tom Sherrington and Emma Turner are joined by René Kneyber and Valentina Devid, co-founders of Toets Revolutie in the Netherlands and co-authors of the upcoming book Formative action: From instrument to design. The four of them talk about the concept of formative action, which is purposefully named to steer clear of the sometimes-problematic term 'assessment'. They walk through the five steps involved in formative action, and highlight how it can be empowering for both teachers - aiding their learning processes - and students - giving them agency and independence. René Kneyber is a former mathematics teacher and currently a consultant and book publisher in the Netherlands. He has written and edited multiple high-profile books on classroom authority and discipline, including the Dutch book Het Alternatief and the Dutch translation of Embedding Formative Assessment by Dylan Wiliam.

This week, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Arran Hamilton, Author, Researcher and Group Director of Education at Cognition Education. We dove deep into the concept of doing less to achieve more in education. Dr. Hamilton, who has worked closely with John Hattie and Dylan Wiliam, shared insights into the process of de-implementation in schools. Our discussion revealed that not all educational practices are equally effective, and by de-implementing, we can actually enhance student learning. Key Quotes:"The short answer is categorically yes. We do too much in schools." - Arran"So few of these things are really robust drivers...that on their own seem to significantly accelerate student learning." - Arran"It's really hard to unlearn. So if you've got an ingrained behavior...it's really hard to unlearn that behavior or that practice." - Arran"Everything we do generally makes a positive difference...but it's how much difference is that making?" - Shane"You're probably looking for no more than one to three high priority initiatives that you want to pursue in a given year." - Arran Arran's insights from our conversation, along with his, Hattie and Wiliam's book "Making Room for Impact", offer valuable guidance for school leaders seeking to streamline their practices for better outcomes.Thank you for tuning in, and as always, if you found this episode useful, please share your experience.

How do you safely define 'peak humanity' and what would you consider its main characteristics? What ingredients make the education, reasoning, rationality, and creativity for an era of fulfilment for humanity; particularly when faced with dramatic and powerful tools such as AI? Dylan Wiliam is one of the best known educationalists in the world. He's dedicated his entire career to understanding how to ensure learner outcomes are achieved, especially through the study of formative assessment. Dylan is currently Emeritus Professor of Educational Assessment at the Institute of Education, University of London. He was previously Deputy Director of the Institute, and has held posts at King's College London and Princeton University. He earned his PhD from the University of London in 1993. We highly recommend one of his recent and many publications about preparing for AI: https://edarxiv.org/372vr/—-This Season is done in partnership with Salzburg Global Seminar. https://www.salzburgglobal.org/Please check out our partner's publication advocating for education transformation: https://www.diplomaticourier.com/issue/transformed-the-case-for-education-transformation—Transcript available at thelearningfuture.com
What makes an excellent teacher? According to acclaimed educational researcher, Professor Dylan Wiliam, it's about regularly checking for student understanding.Professor Wiliam is passionate about the practice of formative assessment—the assessment that many people say ‘doesn't count'. Over the course of many decades of research, Professor Wiliam has established that there is nothing teachers can do that has a greater impact on student achievement than by making teaching more responsive to students' needs through consistent, formative feedback. This is a particular focus in Year 7 at Girls Grammar, with students undertaking a ‘Philosophy of Teaching' course that sets a foundation for students to embrace academic challenges and benefit from struggles they may encounter. Professor Wiliam sat down with Principal, Ms Jacinda Euler Welsh, to discuss how teachers can prioritise formative feedback.
In this episode, I'm speaking with Craig Barton. Craig is an author, maths consultant, former Secondary Maths Adviser to TES and OG podcaster who originally hosted a TES podcast before going on to produce the Mr Barton Maths Podcast and Tips for Teachers podcast. For me this was an enormous highlight of my own podcasting experience so far given that Craig's was the first teaching focused show I ever listened to many years ago and was responsible for my discovery and interest in the likes of Dylan Wiliam, Adam Boxer, Daisy Christodoulou and many more who have ultimately enhanced my teaching to a better and better standard. We discuss:1. A brief summary of Craig's transition from teacher to podcaster to author to consultant2. What his typical working day and week looks like now that he's doing a variety of roles3. Whether the fantastic amount of publications, podcasts and other media we now have access to can lead to a sense of professional dysmorphia 4. How Craig has managed to juggle his many ventures with kids5. Craig's advice for someone who sees teaching as their passion, wants to help as many people as possible and wants to work hard at establishing themselves as a writer, consultant or podcaster6. And finally, what's motivating him to keep creating such brilliant resources and what has he got planned for the futureThanks again to Craig for finding a time in his busy schedule and being so candid and insightful with his responses.

Today Femi and Matt discuss an article by Dylan Wiliam titled ‘Teacher Quality: why it matters, and how to get more of it'. In addition to this central theme the pair touch on the failures of policy initiatives to raise standards, teacher learning communities, considerations of the alignment of personal professional development with the school priorities, the learning cycle of teacher improvement, the common failings of school leaders to be strategic and to prioritise effectively, and the forces that incline us all towards initiative central. They also talk about alternative approaches to professional development (including coaching), the need for initial teacher training to deliver both high quality training and to instil attitudes of a career long commitment to professional learning, creating a culture of improvement as a leader and what it means to ‘fail better', amongst other things.
In Don't @ Me (3:56), Tom opens by explaining why the exceptions prove the rule rather than discredit it.

For this episode, special guest Dylan Wiliam joins hosts Tom Sherrington and Emma Turner to discuss good teaching practices, theories of student learning, and implementation. The conversation begins by exploring the concept of “good teaching.” The trio discusses differentiating good teaching from successful teaching, student engagement, humility, successful teaching strategies, research on the value added of good teaching, and the quality of different assessments. In the second part of the episode, the trio discusses the background of effective learning. A primary focus of this discussion is understanding the purpose of data and the importance of cognitive load theory. A key insight in this conversation is tackling the disparate learning skills of students and how understanding the factors of learning can increase student achievement. The episode closes with a discussion on Dylan's upcoming book, Making Room for Impact: The 9p Deimplementation Guide for Educators, which will publish later this year. The book focuses on how implementation makes way for great teaching and learning. About the participants: Dylan Wiliam is an emeritus professor of educational assessment at the UCL Institute of Education. Dylan's research and authorship focus on the professional development of teachers. His book, Inside the Black Box, is a seminal work on formative assessment. He has served in various leadership roles in the UK and has written numerous books, articles, and academic papers on development, assessment, and teaching.

Today I have the privilege of sharing with you a conversation that I had with the phenomenal Professor Dylan Willam. He is the author of several books including, most recently Inside the Black Box: Raising Standards Through Classroom Assessment. Dylan is Emeritus Professor of Educational Assessment at University College London. He has had a diverse and prolific career teaching in urban public schools, directed a large-scale testing program, served as a Dean of a School of Education, and pursued a research program focused on supporting teachers to develop their use of assessment in support of learning. In this conversation we talked about: Why we need to raise achievement. What formative assessment is and isn't. The power of Teacher Learning Communities, and Why the same assessment instrument cannot serve multiple purposes. I hope that you get as much out of our discussion as I did.

Tom talks to the great Dylan Wiliam about everything you can possibly think of - from his preference between beer and wine, Britain and the USA to the more serious matters of teaching and learning. Under discussion; SLANT, assessment for learning, teacher training time periods, teacher autonomy, school leadership and so much more!
Dylan Wiliam, PhD, is one of the world's foremost education authorities. With partners Paul Black and Siobhan Leahy, Dylan has developed and helped to successfully implement classroom formative assessment in thousands of schools all over the world, including the United States, Canada, Singapore, Sweden, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Wiliam is Professor Emeritus of educational assessment at UCL Institute of Education (IOE), London, UK and Executive Director of the Learning Sciences International Dylan Wiliam Center. After a first degree in mathematics and physics, Wiliam taught in urban public schools for seven years, during which time he earned further degrees in mathematics and mathematics education. He has served as dean and head of the School of Education at King's College London, senior research director at the Educational Testing Service in Princeton, NJ and Deputy Director of the Institute of Education, University of London. Since 2010, he has devoted most of his time to research and teaching. Wiliam's most recent publication, Creating the Schools Our Children Need: Why What We're Doing Now Won't Help Much (And What We Can Do Instead), analyses the approaches that American schools have taken in order to improve student achievement, and shows why they are unlikely to succeed, while at the same time, providing clear advice about the steps that schools need to take to raise student achievement and close achievement gaps. His other works focus on the profound impact strategic formative assessment has on student learning. He is co-author of Inside the Black Box, as well as Embedding Formative Assessment, the Embedding Formative Assessment Professional Development Pack, and Leadership for Teacher Learning.

If the sky was the limit, what would you do to become the best educator that you can be? In 2016, Ollie Lovell asked himself this same question, and concluded that asking the world's foremost leaders in education what they do would be a great place to start. So he did just that! Over the past five years, Ollie has spoken to sixty of the world's most prominent teachers, leaders, and education researchers. Based upon interviews with Tom Sherrington, Anita Archer, Dylan Wiliam, John Hattie, Judith Hochman, Jay McTighe, Tom Bennett, Bill Rogers, Daniel Willingham, and many more, this book summarises the most useful techniques, strategies, and mental models from sixty in-depth conversations, and presents them in a clear and actionable form for you to start improving your teaching and learning from the first page.

January 2022 Bonus Episode: Designing Backward to Move ForwardWhat is the goal of modern education, and are we designing our schools and practices properly to help us meet that goal? That's the central question of this episode with Jay McTighe, who provides a detailed road map to help educators navigate the answers. What should a school's mission statement actually include?

What is the purpose of Jewish education? What is the trick of Jewish education? What is the core challenge that, if navigated successfully, can lead to success in the form of student learning? What is one way to sum up this core issue? Is traditional or progressive pedagogy more appropriate? Does it even matter? Is this a false dichotomy? Maybe it is. But maybe it isn't. Opportunity cost is what educational decision-making is all about - if you believe Dylan Wiliam (and I mean, why wouldn't you?). But what if you tried to hold both this option and that option. Is this pure indecision and insanity or is there something to it? Are there ways to turn zero-sum games (EITHER OR) into BOTH AND situations? Who knows? I certainly don't.

researchED is an educator-led organisation with the goal of bridging the gap between research and practice. This accessible and punchy series, overseen by founder Tom Bennett, tackles the most important topics in education, with a range of experienced contributors exploring the latest evidence and research and how it can apply in a variety of classroom settings. Claiming that the leadership industry has failed to have the impact on schools that is required, this book takes a fresh view that domain-specific knowledge and expertise is vital to running schools well and argues that we tend to underestimate the knowledge required to do this complex job efficiently. In the researchED guide to leadership, Stuart Lock brings together chapters by experts including Dylan Wiliam, Jen Barker, Danielle Dennis, Jon Hutchinson and The Reading Ape to unpick the challenges of school leadership, combining a thorough trawl of the research and mixing in practical advice to exemplify a very different approach to leading schools – one that is rooted in developing the required knowledge to address the challenges that are common to our schools.

Collective teacher efficacy, professional learning communities, collective professionalism… There are many similar but different forms and terms for effective teacher collaboration, and there is a significant body of evidence about their positive impact on teachers themselves and student learning. There are gains to be made through effective and focused collaboration. In this second episode of the Evidence Based Education podcast mini-series on teacher collaboration, we catch up with colleagues from the Dulwich College International group as they seek to enhance collaboration across nine of their schools. We also hear from John Hattie on collective teacher efficacy and Dylan Wiliam offers some words of caution on teacher collaboration more broadly. Sadly, the audio quality in the conversation with Dylan is slightly poorer than normal due to technical glitches. However, they soon pale into significance once you are tuned into what Dylan is saying. All of our podcasts can be found in our podcast archive, and you can listen to the first episode in this series there too. What's more, we have a host of free eBooks, videos and webinars in our Resource Library!

This year's GCSE and A-Level students are suffering with a double whammy. They're facing into future looking questions while also worried about catching up. That's an awful situation to be in but does that mean it has to be a hopeless one? In this episode The Study Buddy's founder, Nathan McGurl, is talking to Dylan Wiliam about this year's exams. Given the uncertainty we consider alternatives as well as some practical guidance for parents when it comes to supporting their teens. In a wide ranging conversation Dylan talks about the purpose and need for assessment and the shortcomings and upsides of different approaches. He draws on years of working in a multitude of roles in the UK and also the US. He also gives practical advice to those facing exams this year, touching on retrieval methods and growth mindset.

Formative assessment proves to be effective based on empirical data presented by various studies.Teachers using formative assessment in class observed considerable improvement in their students. Listen to the full episode to find out how! How Students Become Lifelong Learners Through Formative AssessmentFormative assessment is composed of five strategies: success criteria and learning intentions, collecting evidence of learning, providing future-focused feedback, collaborative learning, and activating students as owners of their learning.The primary purpose of feedback is to make students become self-regulating learners.Students shouldn't be dependent on feedback. The purpose of teachers' feedback is to help students become able to take over their learning.Peer assessment is a stepping stone to self-assessment. Listen to the full episode to hear examples of how the five strategies of formative assessment work inside the classroom. How Teachers Can Do Formative AssessmentIf you want to meet the learning needs of all of your students, then you also need to get evidence about what's happening to all the kids in the class.Teachers need to model effective practice so that the students can take it over themselves. Teachers should think of one teaching technique that they would like to try and use it until it's second nature to them. Create a culture in the classroom where students feel okay about making mistakes. Plan and use a hinge question to determine where the lesson will progress to based on the answers the students provide.

Dylan Wiliam is a world famous educationalist and author probably best known for his research on formative assessment. In this episode, he talks to Greg Ashman about how he became interested in formative assessment, what it is and how it became deployed by the UK government as Assessment for Learning, as well as the importance of a knowledge-rich curriculum, 21st century skills and the issues surrounding educational meta-analysis.
We’ve travelled a whole mile away from campus for this episode, for the very first ResearchED Cymru event. ResearchED is an organisation aimed at bringing educational research to teachers in a way they can use, promoting the idea that knowing about the clues to ‘what works’ that current research gives us as teachers can save us chasing myths or getting stuck in practice that’s not the best for our pupils. ResearchED events happen on Saturdays, and this year the organisation came to Wales for the first time. There was a star-studded list of speakers for teachers to choose from… and us! While we waited to give our presentation on cross-curricular pedagogies in the expressive arts (see episode 2 of this season of the podcast for details of what we were talking about), we attended some interesting presentations, watched a video message from the mighty Dylan Wiliam, and grabbed some informal interviews with some of the big-name speakers. Now we’ve glued it all together, along with an interview with Gareth Rein who organised the event, and our own musings on the day, to give a flavour of ResearchED to anyone who hasn’t managed to attend the real thing. Our grateful thanks to everyone who contributed to this episode, and to ResearchED for inviting us to speak! Our contributors this episode, in order of appearance: Gareth Rein (Headteacher of St Joseph’s RC Primary School, Penarth) Dylan Wiliam (Emeritus Professor of educational assessment at UCL, co-author of the seminal Inside the Black Box and AfL guru) Mary Myatt (author of The Curriculum: Gallimaufry to Coherence) David Didau (author of Making Kids Cleverer: A Manifesto for Closing the Advantage Gap and loads of other books) We also feature a blog post by John Tomsett, headteacher of Huntington School in York, which you can find here.
With the nation still in lockdown, and no prospect of normal life resuming, our intrepid podcasting pair have used all the ingenuity and bloody-mindedness that comes as standard with classroom teachers everywhere to bring you some light relief, despite our enforced separation now well into its third week (or fifth, by the time this hits your devices). With Emma still speaking down the line from her house, and Tom’s car parked in his street doing sterling work as a recording studio (picking up the all-important WiFi signal through the front room window), we’ve scoured the internet to bring you our trademark mix of high-minded, substantial reflection on the world of education (Emma) and a load of bizarre ramblings from way out of left-field (Tom). We flatter ourselves that the overall effect is something that will at least while away 40 minutes of lockdown time, so kick back, ignore your children trashing the house [or is that just mine? - Tom] and enjoy the audio equivalent of that meal you cooked from things you chipped from the ice encrusting the inside of your freezer when you were too scared to get fresh food from the shops. As an added bonus, listen with a mixture of horror and pity as our flimsy masks of professionalism finally slip and we get an unstoppable case of the giggles courtesy of Tom’s final offering. If you’ve been affected by any of the issues raised in this programme (basically, if you are a senior leader who wants to put the case for misunderstood SLT everywhere, or you have suggestions for crimes against education that are punishable through the medium of cake) please tweet us: @ethayer_cmu or @thomasbreeze We’ll be back in a fortnight with an audio relic from a distant age, when ‘social distancing’ was that thing you did when you sat at the opposite end of the staff meeting from the person who asks all the awkward questions: namely, our episode from ResearchED Cymru. We’ve got exclusive interviews with Mary Myatt and David Didau, plus a talk from the almighty Dylan Wiliam (of ‘Inside the Black Box’ fame) himself. Stay safe!

In this episode, Claire talks to Tom Wallace, a former teacher and founder of ‘Balance’, an assessment software tool which helps teachers to reflect on their assessment in school and adapt it to make it more efficient and meaningful for the children. Tom’s desire to be a teacher came from hours of watching and helping his mum (who was also a teacher) make displays with great sheets of paper, rulers and big wooden stencils. He thought that this would be a great job and put aside his dream of becoming a footballer and a rockstar to pursue a career in teaching. Because it was what he had always wanted to do, he found it an easy progression through college and university. He has worked in three schools, and credits his last headteacher, Andy Moore, with changing his life. In addition to his work in schools, Tom has also worked alongside many key names in education such as Shirley Clarke, Dylan Wiliam and Guy Claxton, to name a few. It was through working with these people that he found his passion was around assessment and how it can be transformed to improve the outcomes for pupils and the lives of teachers. A traumatic event was the turning point for Tom, and he realised he could not continue teaching because of the impact it was having on his life. He decided his desire was greater than his fear and took the plunge to leave teaching to concentrate on his business. In the podcast, Tom speaks openly and honestly about the heart-breaking events which led him to a very dark period in his life, as well as how he recovered from it. He discusses how schools can change their culture and vision by reflecting on themselves as staff and the impact they are having on their pupils to make feedback less onerous and more purposeful. *If you have been affected by any of the issues raised in this podcast, you can contact the Samaritans, who provide confidential, emotional support for people who are experiencing feelings of distress or despair.

It’s easy as a teacher to get bogged down in the responsibility of the role but ultimately, you need to be in the right headspace to do your job properly. Sometimes you have to prioritise yourself and your own mental health. Reach out to people. Everybody is battling with some kind of inner struggle; don’t be afraid to reach out to them. You never know when it might make someone’s day or change someone’s life. Work never ends for a teacher. It is easy to say ‘no’ when someone asks you to do something in your personal life because of the amount of work you have to do. It’s important to make time for the relationships in your life because the work you need to do will never end; it’s important to have an internal discipline. Surround yourself with people who guide and direct you. Everyone will need support and guidance at some point in their life. It is important that you surround yourself with people who can channel your emotion into positive action. Assessment is about staff reflecting on the impact they’ve had on their children. It’s not about what the children do or do not know. If we reflect, we can help to direct our teaching better next time. Changing the culture around marking and assessment and asking the right questions could save a lot of time in schools. Your mood and feelings have an impact on the pupils and their outcomes. It’s important to look after the teacher to improve outcomes for the pupils. It’s important to re-evaluate what is being done in a school and find ways to do it better and more efficiently. You can’t cut down a whole forest with a broken chainsaw, so it’s important to take time out to fix the chainsaw so the job can be done better. SLT could take extra assemblies to give staff that time to work in year groups, key stages etc. Be disciplined with your time. There are many cultures and policies that can be improved but you also need to look at yourself and reflect on how you can save time. Purposeful marking in the lesson (using structures to make it meaningful) is more effective, and less time-consuming, than written feedback. Changes won’t happen overnight as the culture of written marking is so ingrained, but there are structures that can be put into place (such as crib sheets) to make marking less onerous and more effective. Everyone must be involved in the culture change. Everyone needs to be on board to make change effective; it can’t just come from SLT. BEST MOMENTS “We started to realise then, when we became a teaching school, [that] it’s not the same progression from teacher to assistant to deputy to head; actually we can start to go in different directions. We had the resources to do so. My love of assessment just took off, but at the same time I could see all the great things that Dylan [Wiliam] and Shirley [Clarke] were talking about; it just was not being reflected in the school. It was so data-driven.” “We just couldn’t continue seeing brilliant teachers leave the profession. We couldn’t continue having the same workload that we had ourselves. We wanted to do something about it. I taught my last lesson in July… So far it’s ok; I do miss the children though.” “I remember going to the intensive care unit to see my cousin; he asked me to come and see him and stay with him. I did over the weekend but then I had to be back at school on the Monday and I just couldn’t do it… The class I was teaching, they were a bit of a tough class. The boys didn’t really want to show emotion apart from anger. They were lovely, lovely children but it was a lively class. I remember when I came in… They all walked in so silent, and I’ll never forget that, and they just looked at me because they all knew… I remember trying to do the register and I couldn’t even get halfway through the register; I just broke down.” “I went to the doctor and said, “Look. Can you sign me off for a couple of days? Because I just can’t cope with this right now. I need to be in intensive care; I need to be with my family, with my mum and dad, with my cousins and whoever else, and we’re a very close family”… I remember him saying he would but I would be back in the week after asking for more time, so he said he was going to sign me off for three months. There was no way I could do that: I was a year 6 teacher. We had SATs coming up; there was not a chance… I’ll never forget this. He said to me, “You’re not that special. The school will survive without you.”… But he was right, and the school did survive and everything was fine, but I wasn’t.” “I remember just sitting in the car thinking, ‘That’s it. I’m done.’ And what I planned to do next was just stupid, and horrible… Luckily, a really good friend, in fact, my headteacher, Andy Moore, just happened to phone to say, “How are you doing?” and that was all I needed… To cut a long story short, I stopped doing what I was going to do and that was it. It was like, ‘Ok, come on. We can do this.’ But my answer was: I need to leave teaching… I need to get out of this because I can’t have this guilt and that guilt; it’s just not good for me. I can’t continue as a human being.” “I remember thinking, ‘But my case isn’t a one-off. This is something that’s going on up and down the country.” “I knew people who were leaving education. Good teachers, people who I went to university with… they’re so disengaged with their job... and I know they are brilliant teachers. They loved it.” “My biggest fear in life is not living life.” “I got to the point where I couldn’t even take [my books] out of the boot because the thought of even beginning to look at that workload was just too much.” “There’s a great quote… ‘The change will only come once our desire is more than the fear.’ I felt from that moment: what could I lose?” “[Andy Moore] was such a brave leader to say, “Do it, and if OFSTED come through that door, I’ll tell them exactly why, and if they don’t like it, I don’t care. This is what’s best for our teachers and our children.”” “[My little boy] is the best reminder ever of: don’t let this get on top of you… It scares me to think that I might not have been here for him… To think that I was ready to pack it all in because of marking books and data. It gets me angry.” “I felt powerless.” “What I say in terms of Balance and the support we offer, and the culture, is not rocket science. Everyone knows it, but there’s a gap between knowing and doing.” “I’ve got family who are just fed up of teaching at the moment who want to leave. The pressure it puts on their kids, their husbands and wives… something has to change.” “There’s an institutionalised mentality about marking, that, ‘We’ve always done it, and if I stop, I’m going to be seen as a bad teacher.’… There’s little to no evidence to say that it has any impact, yet we can’t give it up.” “At certain points in the week, or every other week, we need, in school time – not after school; in school time – [to] structure this point for teachers to stop and reflect on their impact. There’s nothing more powerful that we can do in a school.” “The ‘why’ is really important.” “Wellbeing is how I’m feeling regardless of the task… the work/life balance is when we apply that to part of our life… One is how you feel and the other is managing that tasks at hand.” “[Balance] has challenged them to think differently about their culture.” “I’d wave a wand over OFSTED (if that’s the right way of using my wand!) so they turn round and apologise for getting it wrong about assessment and especially feedback and marking.” “I think we need to give teachers 30-40% [of their timetable] to think about what they’re doing.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Tom Wallace Twitter: https://twitter.com/Balance_Tom Balance Website: https://www.thisisbalance.co.uk/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/balance.education/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/balance_edu Shirley Clarke: https://www.shirleyclarke-education.org/ Dylan Wiliam: https://www.dylanwiliam.org/Dylan_Wiliams_website/Welcome.html Guy Claxton: https://www.guyclaxton.net/ Debra Kidd: https://debra-kidd.com/ Hywel Roberts: https://www.independentthinking.co.uk/associates/hywel-roberts/ Jaz Ampaw-Farr: https://www.jazampawfarr.com/ Jamie Pembroke: https://twitter.com/jpembroke and https://www.sigplus.co.uk/ Shirley Clarke and Tom Hattie – Visible Learning Feedback Book: https://www.shirleyclarke-education.org/publications/visible-learning-feedback-john-hattie-shirley-clarke/ The Samaritans: https://www.samaritans.org/ or call on: 116123 The Teachers’ Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheTeachersPodcast/ Classroom Secrets Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ClassroomSecretsLimited/ Classroom Secrets website: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/ LIFE/work balance campaign: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/lifeworkbalance-and-wellbeing-in-education-campaign-2019/ ABOUT THE HOST Claire Riley Claire, alongside her husband Ed, is one of the directors of Classroom Secrets, a company she founded in 2013 and which provides outstanding differentiated resources for teachers, schools, parents and tutors worldwide. Having worked for a number of years as a teacher in both Primary and Secondary education, and experiencing first-hand the difficulties teachers were facing finding appropriate high-quality resources for their lessons, Claire created Classroom Secrets with the aim of helping reduce the workload for all school staff. Claire is a passionate believer in a LIFE/work balance for those who work in education citing the high percentage of teachers who leave or plan to leave their jobs each year. Since February 2019, Classroom Secrets has been running their LIFE/work balance campaign to highlight this concerning trend. The Teachers’ Podcast is a series of interviews where Claire meets with a wide range of guests involved in the field of education. These podcasts provide exciting discussions and different perspectives and thoughts on a variety of themes which are both engaging and informative for anyone involved in education.

In this interview we talk to the renowned Dylan Wiliam on the subject of formative assessment.
“Teaching should start from where the student is, not from where we would like them to be." says education professor Dylan Wiliam. In this episode of Trialled and Tested: Embedding Formative Assessment, we introduce how formative assessment strategies can be used in the classroom. Dylan is the co-developer of a professional development programme, Embedding Formative Assessment, which supports teachers to use real-time knowledge of their pupils’ strengths and weaknesses to adapt their practice. The programme builds on existing evidence that formative assessment can improve students’ learning. Many schools already prioritise formative assessment, but it can be challenging to implement. An independent evaluation funded by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) recently found that pupils in schools following the Embedding Formative Assessment programme made the equivalent of +2 months’ additional progress in their Attainment 8 GCSE score. Find out more, as Evidence Based Education’s Jamie Scott spoke to some of the people behind the programme - Dylan Wiliam, Emily Yeomans, Corinne Settle and Claire Taylor - and its evaluation to find out what it is all about. Tune in to hear from: Dylan Wiliam: Start to 16:40 Emily Yeomans: 16:40 to 21:40 Corinne Settle: 21:40 to 28:52 Claire Taylor: 28:52 to 35:23 Dylan Wiliam: 35:23 to end Full length: 38m You can read about the Education Endowment Trust's Embedding Formative Assessment project in full here.

Our guest today is Dylan Wiliam – Emeritus Professor of Educational Assessment at University College London. He’s a former school teacher, over the last 15 years his academic career has been focused on the use of assessment to support learning, and he now works with teachers all over the world on developing formative assessment practice. We caught up with him in Melbourne to talk about effective questioning in the classroom. Over the next 20 minutes, he’ll be explaining what’s wrong with the traditional teacher approach of ‘I’ll ask a question and you put your hands up to answer’, sharing a classroom display technique called ‘the parking lot’, and describing how to plan your lesson around checkpoints that he calls ‘hinge questions’.
Anthony Mackay is joined by University College London Emeritus Professor and CIEB International Advisor Dylan Wiliam to discuss his recent book Creating the Schools Our Children Need.
There is now a large and growing evidence base that helping teachers develop their use of minute-to-minute and day-by-day assessment is one of, if not the most powerful ways to improve student learning. In this episode, Sarah Gilmore interviews Dylan Wiliam about why and how assessment for learning, or formative assessment works. Dylan is Emeritus Professor of Educational Assessment at University College London. After a first degree in mathematics and physics, and one year teaching in a private school, he taught in inner-city schools in London for seven years. From 1996 to 2001 he was the Dean of the School of Education at King’s, and from 2001 to 2003, Assistant Principal of the College. In 2003 he moved to the USA, as Senior Research Director at the Educational Testing Service in Princeton, NJ. From 2006 to 2010 he was Deputy Director of the Institute of Education, University of London. Over the last 15 years, his academic work has focused on the use of assessment to support learning (sometimes called formative assessment). He now works with groups of teachers all over the world on developing formative assessment practices. To learn more about Dylan you can visit his website or follow him on Twitter, and to find out more about the Teacher Learning Communities project discussed in this episode, you can visit the Dylan Wiliam Center website. You can also follow us on Twitter to keep up to date with news and exciting opportunities to work with fantastic educators like Dylan!
Happy new year! The podcast is back with an extended episode featuring not one, but two special guests. Emma and Tom are joined by Dr Judith Kneen who runs the PGCE Secondary English course, and Sharne Watkins, Deputy Head of Initial Teacher Education, PGCE Primary literacy specialist... and Tom's line manager - gulp! Emma, Tom, Judith and Sharne bring us a meaty 57 minutes in which they review a fairly controversial publication: Daisy Christodoulou's 'Seven Myths about Education' - a book that ruffled a fair few feathers on its publication in 2014, propelled its author to instant fame as a darling of the traditionalist wing of the education world, and had commentators even tipping her as the next head of Ofsted. The book itself aims to set out seven 'myths' which are apparently dearly-held by 'progressives', and to demolish them with evidence and science. Focusing mainly on the first two myths for reasons of time ('facts prevent understanding' and 'teacher-led instruction is passive'), our intrepid podcast quartet interrogate Christodoulou's work and try to get to the bottom of whether this really is 'the most important book of the decade on teaching' (Dylan Wiliam). Sharne then provides us with her wellbeing tip, which involves getting your trainers on and going for a walk, a shoutout to a student who changed careers to become a teacher and press-ganged her giant-vegetable-growing friend into participating in a memorable lesson, and looks at how to grab pupils with a memorable 'hook'. See you in a fortnight, when we'll drag yet another guest into our studio, and provide some sage advice for anyone considering applying for a PGCE.

Many people who are well known for their work in education have such interesting backgrounds and stories to tell, although many of us don’t get to hear them. The aim of this podcast series is to learn a bit more about these people. We sit down for a chat to find out a bit more about them – what was their experience of school? How did they come to work in education? What they’re currently working on etc. And in every episode we ask for three favourite pieces of music. Whatever we discuss, every podcast episode ends with the same question: If you were in charge of the education system for a day, what one policy or structural change would you make? Professor Rob Coe is a former Teacher, and is now Director of the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring and Professor of Education at Durham University. We work very closely with Rob and his team at Durham University, and while he is fairly well-known in education circles, it's fair to say that he's not someone people know much about. In this interview, we chat about his time at school, rowing at Oxford, having Dylan Wiliam and Guy Claxton as PGCE tutors, free schools (but not as we know them now), the birth of the EEF toolkit and more! As it's a long old episode, we've divided it into three parts for you, to be released on 16th, 17th and 18th March. In Friday's first part, we covered school, sport and wanting to be Bertrand Russell. In yesterday's section, you can learn more about Rob's university and rowing career, as well as his PGCE and step into teaching. And today, in the final part, we discuss how far we’ve come since his Manifesto for Evidence-Based Education (the philosophy rather than us!), establishment of the EEF, the birth of ‘the toolkit’, current research and his answer to the big question...

Det blir ett samtal om skola, digitala verktyg och lite annat.
Cognitive load theory is a theory of how the human brain learns and stores knowledge. It was recently described by British educationalist Dylan Wiliam as 'the single most important thing for teachers to know'. Grounded in a robust evidence base, cognitive load theory provides support for explicit models of instruction.
