"Conveyor belt classrooms are typified by teachers who believe that the timetabled 'lesson' is a good unit of learning." Great blog from @markmccourt.bsky.social on the importance of getting off the conveyor belt approach. Well worth reading! www.emaths.co.uk/blog/general...

‘Learning that does not last was never really learning, it was mere exposure’. Another cracker from @markmccourt.bsky.social. In my role as an intervention teacher and as a tutor preparing pupils for GCSE I see this issue day in, day out.

Mark is spot on here. So much time is wasted in years 10-11 repeating content already taught and long forgotten. @markmccourt.bsky.social www.emaths.co.uk/blog/general...

The disastrous periodic 'revolution' so beloved of snake oil salesmen i.e. politicians et al desperate to leave a legacy - which they do, but mostly not in a good way 😱 - as opposed to the careful 'evolution' model of other successful jurisdictions. As always, Mark hits the nail bang on the head!

The words of a wise man who knows a LOT about teaching and learning.Too often I see an overcrowded maths programme being gone through at a ridiculous pace leaving many pupils trailing in its wake.

"...many MSPs included – and you’ll get the same verdict: CfE has been an unmitigated disaster. It failed to provide clarity, coherence, or direction. It eroded academic standards. It left teachers adrift and pupils underserved. So, naturally, we’re importing it into England."
