Hi #EduSky - late to my #Saturday3 this week because, well, it's lovely weather where I am and I have enjoyed being out most of the day. The big education story this week is Burnham's proposals for technical education but I don't feel qualified enough to evaluate blogs on that so...

I feel that you really took on board my feedback that the episodes with guests are better when there is some disagreement! 🤣

That’s great to see!

People are having issues with my selections this week! I worry quite a bit about the accuracy of SATs reading assessments and this chimed a lot with previous examples denying marks to answers which seemed fine to me.

Very selective quoting, I am afraid. As the article goes on to say immediately afterwards, this was an initial hypothesis that they themselves were unsure about. To make this tentative ordering done for a very different purpose into a pyramidal hierarchy seems a major misstep to me.

I wouldn’t put them in any sequence and neither did Bloom! It was a method of typology for exam questions and IMV shouldn’t be used as the basis for designing lessons (which is how schools usually present the made-up pyramid).

Because it suggests a hierarchy which isn’t what Bloom was saying.

Found this absolutely fascinating and it has caused me to rethink something I am writing. He makes a strong case for the interrelationship of oral language and decoding and against practices which artificially divide them.

Yes - have been enjoying these a lot!

This is true and it’s weird that most rugby fans can’t see it.

Fun game, this. My nomination would be The Murderer’s Ape by Jacob Wegelius. Goes through so many phases and different settings.
