Very excited about this talk where we'll be exploring some of the key themes from our upcoming book with @innerdrive.bsky.social; The Scaffolding Effect
Putting together the final tweaks for the presentation me & @mrsball.bsky.social will be giving ResearchEd National.

We’ll be talking all things scaffolding and adaptive teaching.

Consider it group therapy for those of us who survived through differentiation days!

Libraries are so crazy. I can just put a "hold" on something? I can basically just wave my hand and tell them to get me a book, and then they get it for me? This must be what being a king feels like.

That phrase “disadvantaged students”. Will always remember interviewing sixth formers about their experiences as “disadvantaged students”. They hated the term. Said it lacked hope & suggested they were doomed. Preferred anything else e.g. "pupil premium students"
