A very special moment meeting John Hattie at the @innerdrive.bsky.social Teaching and Learning Summit. Professor Hattie wrote brilliant testimonials for two of my books, so it was great to finally meet him in person.
A jaw dropping moment when John Hattie said he had just finished reading The Scaffolding Effect and name dropped it into his keynote!
In 2024, if someone had said this to me and @mrsball.bsky.social we wouldn’t have believed it!
Thanks @innerdrive.bsky.social for believing in us!
This is a wonderful sketchnote by Jen Deakin, summarising key messages from my presentation at the @innerdrive.bsky.social Teaching and Learning Summit.
