Seventeen takeaways this week!

First up we have a riveting rollick through the history of reading. Fascinating stuff by Steven Parker.

T2 is the widely publicised EEF guidance report on Improving Literacy in Secondary

T3, I love Harry Fletcher-Wood's stuff, some interesting thoughts on getting students to act on feedback.

I found T4 quite insightful this week. When talking about the barriers to ed research we often don't go beyond the ‘teachers don't have time' argument. This post touches upon feelings of expertise, how welcoming different communities feel, and much more.

Lots of good stuff in the rest of the takeaways, but I will note that if you want to have your mind blown with a video on how to peel garlic, check out T17!

Enjoy : )
