Listen "Mixed ability teaching with Bill Wilkinson"
Episode Synopsis
After a long break, Shelley and Rach are back, chatting to Bill Wilkinson about mixed ability teaching and SEND provision in Science. They consider the Education Endowment Foundation evidence on setting and streaming, navigating the dreaded tier decisions at KS4 and breaking down 'microbarriers', bearing in mind the important accessibility concept of 'essential to some, useful for all'.
CogSciSci are also very excited to announce their next conference which will take place at St Albans School on 31st May, and we are looking for speakers. Tickets are available here.
