“This is another superb book from Bruce, and as we’ve come to expect from him, it’s clear, practical, and informed by the latest evidence from education research. The section on meta-skills is fantastic, as Bruce breaks down the misconceptions around transferable skills and demonstrates the pivotal importance of knowledge. It’s that combination of professional experience, willingness to challenge orthodoxy, and clarity of writing that makes him such a compelling voice in global education.” - @robin_macp

Oxbridge success rates show that pupils based in Scotland are far less likely to get an offer than any other part of the UK. Why is that?@heraldscotland @stell_garrett @MrMcEnaney

In 2023, I went to Srebrenica and had the privilege of meeting Fadila Efendić and Nedžad Avdić. Their stories had a huge impact on me and today, with Ratko Mladić now dead, I want to share them again:

🔴 Day 1,754 of the Taliban's oppression of Afghan women.
Millions of Afghan girls are still prevented from entering the classroom under the Taliban's ban.
End the normalization of gender apartheid. You are not forgotten.

We always have someone in the equivalent to the legends slot at Glastonbury, and it wouldn’t be a researchED Scotland without @colinmcgill 🙌 #rEDCrieff

‘We are effectively advertising our low expectations’ @lamb_heart_tea talks about how a lack of understanding about differentiation can lead to
diluted and dumbed down teaching. Everyone is entitled to learn a rich diverse curriculum in full. 🙌 #rEDCrieff

@lamb_heart_tea encourages us as teachers to be ‘Unapologetically ambitious’ with our expectations for learners. Teach to the top. 🙌🙌🙌#rEDCrieff

It genuinely makes me happy to hear @lamb_heart_tea speak. Her work with @MrsBallAP on scaffolding is superb. I strongly recommend their book on it. #rEDCrieff

A massive welcome to @lamb_heart_tea! She’s sharing her work in scaffolding, and we can strongly recommend her brilliant book with @MrsBallAP #rEDCrieff
💯 agree with this from @HughesHaili - teachers need to be critical consumers of research. Look into the research and ask hard questions about the quality of it, and don’t just amplify a headline. #rEDCrieff
