Summary
In this episode we look at a cluster of articles, tweets and policy announcements, each tugging in a slightly different direction. On their own they’re fragments. Taken together they paint a
picture of how schools try to make sense of contradictory signals about disadvantage,
curriculum, SEND, misinformation and reform.
We look at the top 75 schools based on progress 8 - what is their secret?
We ask, can you teach kids to spot misinformation?
We discuss what relevance neuroscience might have for schools
And whether English teachers actually like Shakespeare? (Should they?)
