“So, definitely primary schools should be identifying children who are at risk of being NEET"
You want to know why I was so opposed to the vocational announcements earlier in the week? This is part of why.
Just what we need: more spurious labels.

I don't want to get in a fight with anyone, but teaching your students about "the science of learning" as a discrete thing for any more than like 20 minutes is not a good use of time
just get on with teaching them, and flood the zone with high quality retrieval

Scaffolding is not a synonym for support.
It should be temporary, responsive, and designed to disappear.

How to get them to think/participate?
Cold calling
- plan great questions
- tell them to expect questions
- pose a question, provide silent thinking time
- (warm) invitation, not interrogation
- maintain participation, bring others in...

WOW!!
That's remarkable... and it's been replicated.
Reading 2 books for 12 weeks increased reading age between 8 and 16 months. Phenomenal.
