Super interesting article from @C_Hendrick about neuromyths, particularly how they cluster, and possible reasons why, and the impact it can have. Thanks. carlhendrick.substack.com/p/the-enduring…

Really interesting points on ‘knowing the dots to join the dots.’ Reassured by the research within the CIC discussion papers. Hopeful that the work going on with teachers in the CIC core groups will positively impact the need for knowledge. @dnleslie @stuartphysics

@dnleslie @stuartphysics @AndyBrown314 Finally got around to listening - always great to hear Andy's thoughts. Time for subject specific professional learning is so important. The mistake of focusing on skills over knowledge was made twice: first in the curriculum for students, and in development for teachers.

📻 The politicisation of Scottish education over the last decade has been to the detriment of schools. We have had more prominence and politics around these issues in recent times, but much less actual scrutiny. A clip from ‘Talking Scottish Education’: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/tal…

It is great to get the first #TalkScotEd podcast with @BarryBlackNE and @MrDegsy live at last. Despite @dnleslie’s best efforts Derek’s audio on this one is a bit poor but hopefully the quality of the conversation makes up for it.

If you want a quick summary of the Technical Framework and the direction of travel of curriculum reform in Scotland give the latest @EducatioScot podcast a listen. The @IOPTeaching curriculum guidance gets recommended too, see iop.org/about/publicat… @IOPScotland

Always a pleasure to speak with the next generation of science teachers, to inform them of the support available from @IOPScotland and @IOPTeaching, and to use some @Perimeter resources for some cognitively active learning @ENUTeacherEd
