Tracking the correlation b/t Comparative Judgement & NAPLAN data for 1 cohort. From Yr2 CJ - Yr3 NAPLAN - Yr4 CJ - we can see growth tracking positively. Recursively reviewing writing at the sentence level has improved the average scaled score. @daisychristo @rhyssy33 @nmmarking
Less than 2 weeks to go and only a few spots left in my upcoming course. If you’ve ever walked out of a maths lesson thinking, “I’m not sure that landed,” this course is for you! Effective Primary Maths Teaching is two days (live and online) where I walk through the frameworks,…
When good intentions are not enough. All teachers need to know the results of a classic study, the implications of which are profound ⬇️
This reflection on AI and the purposes and benefits of writing by @daisychristo is outstanding and 100% worth your time. substack.nomoremarking.com/p/what-is-the-… The analogy of…
I had lots of fun unpacking a maths lesson that I taught with these two legends! Teaching is all about effective decision-making. The more of them we can get right, the more effective our lesson will be. You can also read my extended analysis here: open.substack.com/pub/knowledgef…
So excited for this Episode on Mathematics Teaching to land! It's coming at 6AM Melbourne time! open.substack.com/pub/chalkdustp…

Writing is obviously a tool for communication. But it is so much more than that. It is a means of expanding limited working memory and a tool for thinking. AI can write really well - but if you want to develop your own thinking you need to be able to write yourself!…
1 thing learned from @daisychristo & @nmmarking - finding the quickest route to achieving an outcome, creates space in mental load to focus on doing something else better. Eg. Understanding writing development = knowing what, when & how to teach, practice, retrieve, & assess it.
In the latest post on our Substack I try to make sense of the mutual incomprehension between teachers & students about the role of AI in the classroom. Is it OK for students to use AI to write their assignments if that's the most efficient thing to do? If not, why not?
This is the best thing I’ve read this year! On the importance of writing in an AI age. @daisychristo is one of very the best thinkers and writers in education.

Great article describing the weird war in Australian education between researchers writing useful strategies for teachers, and the academy that jealously gate keeps against it School leader blasts academics for ‘bizarre’ and ‘patronising’ AERO criticism educationhq.com/news/school-le…
Doing this quiz with my class showed me that we need *far* more lessons on run-on sentences when I take them into Year 5. It's well worth doing this quiz with any KS2 class, I think.
The Writing Framework is a really useful read. Lots to reflect on. Going to give my Year 4s this quiz from @daisychristo tomorrow and really, really hope that our 'endless' work on run-ons has paid off...
Worth looking at the Writing Hub on NMM by @daisychristo . We do one lesson a week and then a daily quiz
Delighted to announce new TRAINING DATES in Australia and NEW ZEALAND, Sept 2025. Due to demand last time, I'll be back in Brisbane, Adelaide, Auckland, Christchurch, Hamilton and Wellington. Link in next post. Hope to see you there; please share.
‘If ITE programs had been operating in recent decades the way medical, engineering, and nursing programs (for example) do, AERO might not even have been established. Ironic, isn't it?’ @PamelaSnow2 nails it. @EdResearchAU @C_Hendrick @ThinkForwardEdu

‘CLT is a theory about how novices learn new information, not about the whole ecology of schooling. Suggesting this makes it invalid, is like criticising Newton’s laws for failing to account for depression in astronauts.’ @JennyDonovan2 @zidman @C_Hendrick

AERO's recent work in promoting evidence informed strategies has been one of the brightest and best things to happen in Australian education for ages. @C_Hendrick's defence of it here shouldn't be necessary, but because this is the bizarro world of educational research, it is.…
