** NEW ** Open Access article with Aidan Stannard in @ssma1901.bsky.social
found that mathematics teachers who practised predicting students' responses to diagnostic questions diagnosticquestions.com improved dramatically in a short time period. doi.org/10.1111/ssm....
Diagnostic Questions
Better results, more confidence, less time
