The EEF theme for the summer term is Literacy and we have been busy working away on some exciting things to share with you. A major partnership of this term has been with the fabulous staff at Etone College who have been very generous with their time and energies. Thank you! 

In this edition, we have an amazing podcast interview with A Sandilands who was part of an EEF pilot strategy around Curriculum Comprehension Strategies (CCS) in Geography. Her podcast is inspirational; do have a listen here. 

Staff at Etone College have also been working with us to offer a series of two twilight events focusing on 1) How to Create a Culture of Reading and 2) Embedding approaches across the school for reading and disciplinary literacy. These events are brought to you free so do make sure you sign up via our events page here. 

J Stafford, a fantastic ELE and Deputy at Etone College also shares her evidence informed practice with us through two blogs which focus on Putting the Evidence to Work to Prepare Learners for Success. You can read blog 1 and blog 2 now. 

And finally, we couldn't publish this edition without reference to the fabulous new Deployment of Teaching Assistants guidance report. This guidance report has already proven extremely popular with teaching assistants, teachers, schools, trusts and LAs alike. Read more in our new blog here. There are more items inspired by this report to come!
