Think Forward Educators hosting a series with @carlhendrick.substack.com not to be missed!

Discussing marking & written feedback from @daisychristo.bsky.social
From experience:
-students don’t respond to it
-it’s more work for teachers than learners
-parent expectations make it hard to let go
Is there a more effective way?

Latest from us: Feedback should be a thermostat, not a thermometer.
There's a lot of effort going into producing AI-generated comments on student writing.
But even the very best written comments are not great at helping students improve.

What has No More Marking discovered in testing the capacity of AI in assessment?
LLMs have some usefulness but they cannot as yet operate independently. Newsflash-humans still needed!

Out today: a new episode of the Melissa and Lori Love Literacy podcast in which I talk about my new book, Beyond the Science of Reading, & the connections between the science of reading & the science of learning.
It was a great conversation!

Skills vs knowledge, 13 years on by @daisychristo.bsky.social

‘Even if perfection or perfect happiness isn’t possible, it’s still worth trying to improve – and it’s still worth trying to improve VAR.’
I know little about this in the sporting context but it occurred to me that you could replace ‘VAR’ with pretty much anything.
Why does technology work in cricket & rugby so much better than VAR in football?
What if it's not to do with VAR, but with fan culture instead.
Is there a quantity theory of grievance - a fixed amount of anger regardless of how good the decisions are?
