Neuroscience - will watch this site with interest but need to be sure it's more than 'pop' psychology

Useful tool to turn data into something more digestible

Fascinating and practical post from Oliver. Interesting it ties in with the findings from talking to my year 7 form for purpos/ed - above everything else they wanted more choice in their curriculum.

I like this - would be great starter for upper KS2 literacy or P4C session I think.

Interesting article from Bill Lucas that sums up the debate over 'intelligence' and provides some practical ideas about how that might impact the classroom

Just ordered the book!

120+ pages of ideas to help children and young people when they say 'I don't know what to write!'

I like this, quite fun to play with. Not sure how I'd use it yet...

Discussion on Lesson Objectives, including great example from Sally Thorne

Interesting post - about games in education, but actually about all learning experiences. My next big problem (wrong word?) is how to do this kind of stuff inside a school that's moving very slowly or not at all in this direction.

What happens to those students who get taught by me in a student-centered, project based if they then move on to someone who has a more teacher centered approach the following year? They either revert to being passive learners or they demand more from the next teacher who then has a choice.... Also, expectations from whole school need to be cranked up if slow in this regard. (However, I do understand why some schools are finding it hard to move on, it requires energy and drive to do this, things which are being drained from our schools and leaders because of so many pressures and anxieties) . As they say though, our students only get one shot at this ......

Using Groups Effectively: 10 Principles - Interesting article, including suggested practice which goes directly against some of what I already do. Will be pondering!
