The most read article of the week was ‘Homework: three big questions (plus one more) ’ by @drcastelino.bsky.social 📚

If you're looking for an authoritative book on homework then look no further than this from @drcastelino.bsky.social It's useful for teachers but as a parent I found it even more useful.

The Long Game has been out almost a month Here’s what @drcastelino.bsky.social thought

IT’S HERE! I am a massive believer in the power of concrete examples. This 4-part documentary shows lessons & unpacks the thinking behind them. Huge thanks to @pepsmccrea.bsky.social, the team at Steplab, Postcode films & of course colleagues & pupils for their involvement. 🙌🏼

Have ?s re homework? Highly recommend @drcastelino.bsky.social new book: The Homework Conundrum! #PowerfulClassrooms #PowerfulTeaching

The secret sauce for professional development…

Woo hoo! SO excited to be speaking - it's going to be great to meet so many fabulous people! Tickets here: bit.ly/rEDNYC

Alright squad, tonight's question: What's the thing you've seen this year that you thought "wow that's a great idea I'm going to do that" and then done it? Could be within your school, or something you saw online or whatever. Anything goes, T&L, behaviour, curriculum, leadership etc

Boom!!!

My son just googled my name and is beaming with pride because it was actually me in the top hits 😁

Our school got each of us in our working party a copy of this. It is, as you would expect from @drcastelino.bsky.social, absolutely superb! Highly recommended!

Awesome book! Will defo get you thinking about homework and how to set it in a productive way. Well done @drcastelino.bsky.social

I think The Long Game is brilliant and an important book for all teachers! Congratulations @pnjfoster.bsky.social!!

I’ve been looking forward to this episode for ages. Both @rastokke.bsky.social and @drcastelino.bsky.social are right at the top of my list of education thought leaders.

"What you permit, you promote. If we permit little effort or incomplete work, we are promoting this work ethic." This is a great quote from @drcastelino.bsky.social in my latest podcast episode on homework. open.spotify.com/episode/2yFM...

Just finished @drcastelino.bsky.social The Homework Conundrum! An exceptional book. Full of evidence which supports strong strategies to develop a homework culture

This photo makes my heart sing! Mostly because there's a beautiful dog in it. And I'm a usually a cat person!

1/2📝 Are you wondering how much homework to assign and how to make it effective? I asked @drcastelino.bsky.social to talk about this on my latest podcast episode. Learn all about homework and her awesome new book! 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/c...

One of the things that keeps me going back to Twitter is that I get fairly regular DMs on there asking me for advice about reading. Just to be clear: I am more than happy for people to DM on here for the same reason. Please repost this if you think this info might be useful to someone.

If people don't like Amazon (like my mum, who has refused to order a copy from it!), then pre-order is now also available at: Waterstones www.waterstones.com/book/how-to-... WHSmith www.whsmith.co.uk/Product/Paul...
