Sometimes people share interesting stuff to read online, take for example:

• This free chapter by Dylan William on the role of formative assessment in effective learning environments in which he describes assessment as the bridge between teaching and learning.
• Or what about this free publication on excellence and equity: Tackling educational disadvantage in England’s secondary schools. The specific issues and approaches addressed include:
  • school choice and admissions
  • school accountability
  • the teaching profession
  • fragmentation in the school system
  • the pupil premium
  • tackling disadvantage beyond the school gates.
• More a kind of well-informed opinion, but surely a very interesting read is this speech by Robin Alexander on educational reform.
