Less than a week to go!

Huge thanks to @mrsball.bsky.social, @singhamarbeerg.bsky.social, & Adam Kohlbeck, who kindly read the book prior to publication.

Did we mention the LEGEND that is @funkypedagogy.bsky.social was generous enough to write our foreword!?

Thank you as always to all of the people I've learnt from, the BMet team for inviting me, and Katie Cavill for sorting the booking! 🙏🏽

What a fantastic message to come home to after a great day's training in Birmingham!

It's always a genuine pleasure to work with colleagues and provide a supportive space where they can challenge their own and each other's thinking and practice.

First up at #ReDBmouth was a very thought provoking look at assessment from @s-donarski.bsky.social - big takeaway being that "assessment" can't be separated from curriculum design and delivery.

I hadn't considered this previously but I think you've hit the nail on the head - such a critical part of being mathematically literate (and also something that I think many expert mathematicians take for granted, further proving your point!)

This was a great read!

And so glad to see that the work of our team @greenshawrs.bsky.social influenced Jon's thinking - we've got a publication around this coming soon so if you're interested in disciplinary literacy, watch this space!

Worried about literacy in mathematics?

Jon Fant has the answer.

The Accidental Revolution: How Atomisation Unlocked Disciplinary Literacy in Our Maths Department

When I first considered my department's priorities for the year, I admit, literacy was left to the side.

Inspired by the call to action around building schools where our pupils belong at #REND25, I've branched out from the normal T&L blog posts to write about something a bit more personal.

The poem "Singh song!" is part of the GCSE English lit syllabus, and in this blog I offer some reasons as to why I think it should be replaced, or at the very least thoroughly critiqued.

I'm particularly keen to get thoughts from English lit teachers, so please get in touch and share!
