How do we make sure homework is still valuable when AI can 'do it for them?' Excellent post from @drcastelino.bsky.social

I am heartbroken by this news. I am so so sorry. Dawn's writing improved my teaching and thinking immeasurably.

I'm really looking forward to reading this book ( I have read lots of positive reviews & recommendations!).

I haven't read a book dedicated to Homework before so I think this book will be very helpful & important.

Congratulations @drcastelino.bsky.social 👏🎉

If the student, school and parents all have completely different conceptions of homework then it's likely to be a waste of everyone's time.

If you're looking for an authoritative book on homework then look no further than this from @drcastelino.bsky.social It's useful for teachers but as a parent I found it even more useful.

IT’S HERE! I am a massive believer in the power of concrete examples. This 4-part documentary shows lessons & unpacks the thinking behind them.

Huge thanks to @pepsmccrea.bsky.social, the team at Steplab, Postcode films & of course colleagues & pupils for their involvement. 🙌🏼
