Yesterday @EducEndowFoundn released a preview of their report on Cognitive Science in Education.

We're looking forward to seeing the full publication next week, but whilst we wait here is our thread 🧡on our initial thoughts on what they said here (1/14)
First off wanted to start by saying thanks to @TWPerry1 and his team for sharing their thoughts. Their review seems very thorough which identified 40,000 studies, before focusing on about 500 that met the criteria, with 43 viewed as 'high priority' (2/14)
They wanted to explore what is the applied research behind popular cognitive science areas in education. This includes retrieval practice, spacing, interleaving, cognitive load theory, scaffolding etc.

These are areas have become much more popular in the last 5-10 years (3/14)

All good things have an end... It is now time for our final #TandLSummit speaker: @PhilippaCcuree, who is sharing how to lead CPDL for metacognition. Image
Why this subject? Despite being talked about so much, there isn't that much research around metacognition. It's challenging to make happen, and the national curriculum doesn't leave much room for it.
Philippa shares how a maths teacher, to engage students with algebra, got his students to research great algebraists and, more importantly, how they thought, worked and communicated.

On to our penultimate #TandLSummit speaker: @PearceMrs, talking about embedding an evidence-informed culture in schools, using her experience as a teacher. Image
Why evidence-informed? Well, evidence allows us to identify practices that do have an impact, but also practices we've been using for a long time that we may need to rethink.
However, this isn't commonplace: research shows that evidence is much less likely to inform practice than a teacher's own or a colleague's experience.

Back to our talks now at the #TandLSummit with @Thinkingschool2, who is going back through some of the most interesting points raised by speakers and delegates raised throughout the day. Image
"The most important people in school, after the students, are the classroom teachers", because what has the greatest impact on the students is the quality of teaching.
We're working within a system based on competition and performance - but Kulvarn argues that a culture of learning, using collaboration, is key.

Our last speaker of the morning at #TandLSummit is @johntomsett, whose talk is all about curriculum conversations between senior leaders and subject teachers - and what he learned while writing his new book on the subject with @MaryMyatt. Image
The main problems? Struggling to find shared terminology, and not knowing enough about curriculum design.
Learning the vocabulary of the knowledge curriculum (and what it means!) is key.
After working on very detailed definition of knowledge curriculum terminology, John and colleagues came to the realisation that, at the end of the day, that is still too intimidating...

Next up at #TandLSummit is @informed_edu, talking about school leadership, school working conditions and how working environment impacts school staff. Image
The research around working environments at school has exploded around the last decade, says David. The research he carried with @TeacherDevTrust identified five main traits of a great working environment for school leaders to develop...
1. Collaboration
Having structured conversations to talk about curriculum and its impact on practice is key for schools to help staff improve. But simply encouraging collaboration isn't enough - structuring and facilitating these well is key.
