By sheer coincidence, it was my turn to do Thought For The Day at TTA this morning, so I chose to talk about the horrific attack in Golders Green yesterday, and what it means to be a Jew in 2026 Britain. Please give it a few minutes of your time if you can.

Most teachers in this country are regularly observed as part of their professional development. Two thirds of teachers do not think this has made a difference to their actual practice. Teachers do not understand the feedback they receive. They do not agree with the feedback they receive. They do not feel willing or capable to implement the feedback they receive. These things are facts, and they are both worrying and upsetting. And none of this is a secret. We all know it, we've all experienced it. When we asked Carousel Teaching users what topics they wanted us to make courses on, the most common response was "how to observe lessons and give feedback." Ben Rice and I are now MAD EXCITED to announce our How To Observe a Lesson and Give Feedback course. It's mega. We filmed a bunch of lessons, and we also filmed me observing those lessons. We deconstruct the science of observations, and the art of giving feedback. It's pretty damn innovative, and we're confident it will help teachers and leaders get better at these critical skills. We will also be delivering a FREE webinar where we will look at some of the core strategies, do make sure to come along :) For more on the course: For more on the webinar: To book a demo so we can show you the whole platform:

I loved this post from Carl when I read it, and went into our footage to find examples. Check out the video here, and note the way the teachers try to keep their heads up and looking around the room. There's two aspects to that in these videos: 1. A general dispositions of looking around constantly 2. An increased emphasis on it immediately after responding to disruption (of any kind) A lot of the research focuses on teachers who have been doing this for years. It observes them, sees what they are doing, and describes it. But often the vibe is that they do it naturally, that their experience has just sort of led them to acting in a certain way. I think for many that might be right, but we mustn't lose sight of the fact that strategies like this can be taught and assimilated rapidly. For example, in this video Abi was in her ECT year, but has the "gaze" of a teacher with 10 years more experience than her. Great teaching isn't a mystery or a secret. It can be noticed, disassembled, communicated and implemented.

Haven't posted a video in a while, so here's one of me that Ben Rice and I have been working on. There's a few things I do well, and a couple I think that could be better. What do you notice?

In lots of schools, observation feedback is no longer delivered in person. It's given by email, a shared tracker, or some kind of online platform. It makes sense in terms of saving time, but is it a good idea? Short video section exploring it here - interested in your thoughts!

QLA is an extremely common practice in schools. It sounds like it makes sense. Go through a paper, see which questions students did badly on. Respond accordingly. What does Becky Allen think about QLA? She doesn't mince her words! Tune in and share :)

Leaders: this is it, right? It's a hard ask, but a simple one. If you want to rapidly improve your school, you have to get in to every lesson, every day. I loved this interview, do check it out, link in reply 👇👇

I've been teaching the whole A Level chemistry course this year and I've found it v hard - lots of stuff I've never done, and much I haven't done for >10 years. Planning has been the most important thing, and it starts with my notebook:
