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.

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.

So, expect conversations around sustainable logistics, long-serving structures, impactful mechanisms, social support and ways to achieve it, culture-building and the importance of a coherent curriculum. There are so many insights shared, you'd better bring a notebook along! Putting staff and students at the heart of her strategy, Nikki clearly knows her stuff and this episode is a must-see for anyone in education with an interest in learning more about culture, motivation and professional learning. Standing on the shoulders of giants, Nikki also took the time to pay tribute to those who have impacted on her work such as Nick Hart; Zoe and Mark Enser and their book: The CPD Curriculum; Shaun Allison and his Perfect Teacher-Led CPD book; Sarah Cottingham and Dylan Wiliam, among others.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

“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.

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.

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.

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 this first part, we cover school, sport and wanting to be Bertrand Russell. Tune back in tomorrow to find out about Rob's university and rowing career, as well as his PGCE and step into teaching.   If you haven’t already, do check out the previous episodes of Knowing Me Knowing Ed-U with Daisy Christodoulou, Alison Peacock, Geoff Barton and Sugata Mitra. Do you have suggestions for future guests of Knowing Me Knowing Ed-U? Who would you like to hear from? Let us know at info@evidencebased.education.

Cognitive load theory is a theory of how the human brain learns and stores knowledge.
