I think key is the quote "also are manageable for teachers, and ultimately reduce teacher load, not increase it." Because I feel this isn't the case as we are teachers and we want to still get the same results as we always do so we put pressure on oursleves. Even though we have been given the directive that it's ok it still is pressure
Focus on what the learners need to do not what the teachers need to do:
It is their learning. To achieve this they will need to work, and work in a focussed and effective way. And we know that this learning consists of four things: high quality contact time, social learning, quiet reflection, and self-study.
Literacy and Maths should be a focus
Testing to see where the gaps are important for swift and effective support that will transfer across the curriculum.
We do too much and we can't fit everything in so what is best????
