A belated TOT this week. Had the school holidays then a busy start to term. Plus have been having tech issues with my mailing list, plus other projects keeping me busy.
But fear not. It's a goodie!
T1 should be read by all interested in what evidence based education is, is not, and can be!
T2 is entertaining… those naughty teachers!
T3 is the first audience-created infographic of one of the ERRR podcasts!
T4 is a fantastic list of resources on teaching reading : )
T5 is on a toping I'm finding myself thinking more and more about, the role of speech in learning.
I'll let the rest speak for themselves. One cool thing this week is that there are a lot of resources for maths and physics teachers. I've been getting into using booklets in my physics class, and I've been having a great time with it.
Enjoy : )
If you'd like to support Teacher Ollie's Takeaways and the Education Research Reading Room podcast, please check out the ERRR Patreon page to explore this option. Any donation, even $1 per month, is greatly appreciated.

A (new) manifesto for evidence based education, via @profcoe and @ProfKime
Great post by @ProfCoe. 'A (new) manifesto for evidence based education'. Clearly and concisely outlines what evidence based Ed is, and what it can become. I'm excited for 'The Great Teaching Review' and 'The Professional Learning Evaluation Framework'!!! https://t.co/d3bIw8eO1Y pic.twitter.com/Q7qCxfxit5

Need to teach reading? Check out this twitter thread!
OK. So I'm reading this because I want to know how to better support my students to read, but I'm finding it far too generic. It's giving advice like 'ensure systematic vocabulary instruction in all lessons' and 'give students specific feedback on their reading' where can (1/2) pic.twitter.com/a4IGJi6qfL

Little or no overall relationship between technology use and student achievement, PISA and NEAP, ht @DylanWiliam
Cross-sectional analyses of PISA and NAEP data suggest little or no overall relationship between technology use and student achievement: https://t.co/q9NfBy3Ssy. We need to stop asking "Does technology help?" and start asking "When does technology help?"

Reading challenging texts aloud increased reading comprehension… what? ht @DylanWiliam
Now this is very interesting, and I don't think at all obvious. Reading challenging texts aloud, and at a fast pace, improved the reading comprehension of all students, but for the lowest achievers, the gains were almost twice as great: https://t.co/TxJ1MZPI4X.

'Children with autism may use memory differently. Understanding this could help us teach them'. Doesn't explore potential benefits of different processing tendencies, but a very interesting article none the less. https://t.co/vOXM7mYBld

Booklet on vectors and scalars, distance and displacement +. I'll note that the majority of the content in this booklet is from Colin Hopkins, but I've added SLOP, changed the sequence, added because, but, so, and included @BenRogersEdu's recent image : ) https://t.co/Zo3jzL2JA3

Ooh. The 'Open Middle' worksheet. Has space for 6 attempts. @robertkaplinsky writes of how this incentivise student perseverance. I like it.
