âRefining adaptive teaching: Anticipate, assess, adaptâ
âWe anticipate what pupils have learnt and we make predictions and plans. Then good formative assessment is how we find out whether it was right. We adapt in response to those assessments.â

"Adaptive teaching cannot be reduced to a checklist, but nor can it be left to instinct enacted by expert teachers alone."

@alexjquigley.bsky.socialI'm doing a Teachology masterclass on 'Literacy & SEND'. It's in-person in Birmingham on 4th Dec (also online). It explores why literacy is essential to any inclusion strategy & includes the SHARE model to support high need learners.

âCognitive misers in the classroomâ
âStudents can be poor judges of whether an hour of work will pay off. If you cannot predict the return, the rational move is to keep your mental money in the vault.â

âCognitive misers in the classroomâ
âThere is an uncomfortable truth for teachers: for a teenager, hoarding mental effort is not a failure of character, but a defensible - even rational - reading of the situation.â

@alexjquigley.bsky.socialExcellent blog by @sendmattersuk.bsky.social on 'Invisible inclusion'
"How tangible is inclusive practice? While highly visible âadditionalâ & âdifferentâ practices are often the easiest to see, they should also be treated with caution."

'Trapped teens: The bedroom generation'
"These teens, hidden away in their bedrooms, often tethered to the blue-light of dopamine spiking devices, have been labelled a âbedroom generationâ." @csjthinktank.bsky.social
@susiedentwords.bsky.socialReposted by @alexjquigley.bsky.socialEtymology of the day: the expression âyou have another thing comingâ was originally âyou have another think comingâ: todayâs version appeared within a year of the original, back in the 1800s.

âLiteracy is an inclusion strategyâ
âIf we are not careful, inclusive teaching and literacy could spin off as separate 'specialisms' that donât meet in the classroom.â

âLiteracy is an inclusion strategyâ
âLiteracy is inclusive teaching; inclusive teaching is a focus on developing literacy skills.â

âHasty Readingâ
New PISA results have shown a global slump in reading ability and theyâve asserted an issue of âhasty readersâ. What might it mean for classrooms, the use of tech, and what we do next?

âHasty Readingâ
âWe will only fend off a 'post-literate society', where hasty reading is the norm, by keeping difficult texts in front of the children who find them hardest to access and understand.â

@alexjquigley.bsky.socialThe most worrying trend in global education in 2025?
The plummeting reading outcomes across the world.
It has held up in England by staying similar to a decade ago, but in most of the world reading levels are crashing and the reading gap is growing.
@alexjquigley.bsky.socialAre we at the end of the knowledge-rich era? What will be the result of the shift to an era of inclusion? This long-read explores the past decade and what might come next:
