Extensive readings for this stage.

October 5th does not commemorate a tribute, but rather a 1966 document regarding the dignity of the teaching profession. What your faculty celebrates, what TALIS and UNESCO say, and what your center can do.

A classic study shows that a grade can erase the best feedback. What true formative assessment is, and how to evaluate with high standards without discouraging students.

Philosophy for children does not raise grades: it teaches how to think. What the evidence actually says (the two EEF trials) and how to bring it into the classroom without turning it into a circle of opinions.

Spain declines in PISA 2025, and the public discourse is already searching for culprits. The verified figures, what the exam can and cannot reveal, and what a faculty can do the following week.

Rereading and highlighting is what almost everyone does, and yet it is the least effective method. What the evidence reveals about memory, why testing serves as an effective training tool when properly utilized, and how AI is changing the landscape.

Teaching exhausts patience faster than it can be replenished, and almost no one prepares you for it. What tradition and psychology say about how it is trained, and why it is restored in the staff room.

Spanish faculties collaborate on paper, but collaboration that actually enters the classroom remains rare. What TALIS 2024 and the evidence on teacher social capital reveal.

Before teaching any subject, one must be able to sustain focus upon it. What the evidence says about attention in the classroom and what a faculty can do.

Every school claims to have its own distinct character. This is almost always confused with the uniform and the crest. What truly distinguishes it, and how is that demonstrated.

Teaching how to converse is not merely about taking turns to speak. Why dialogue is a skill that must be trained, and what changes in a classroom when it is taken seriously.

Socrates asked whether virtue can be taught. Centuries later, research answers that it can, under certain conditions. What that means for a school.

A conversation with Gregorio Luri on the school as a place where one learns to think, and on what is lost when it is mistaken for a service.
