Please have a look at joining Blue Sky if you haven’t had a go yet, many wonderful educators are moving over there (search #EduSky once you are on there and you will find a host of familiar faces). It is functioning well and if you joined Twitter ~ 2012 it will feel like home.

It’s March, a new month, which means it’s time for me to give away a class set of novels via my book shop @ANewChapterBks. For a chance to win, simply retweet this lil tweet.

I just seem to be making booklets for fun at the mo - I am currently making a Worlds and Lives textbook for Y11 because I can't find one I think is 100% right for them to recommend. It'll be a beast of a booklet but I'll still offer it for free obviously! Will be done soon

@EngChatUK ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ or ‘Pride and Prejudice’ - which would you teach to a high ability GCSE boys’ class?

Are there any secondary schools who do Twelfth Night local to Leeds who would like about 150 newish copies?

Really insightful session from @MissHLawrence showing us what the power of collaboration can look like in practice: ‘Share priorities with the teams’ ‘When you share, others will share’ ‘anxiety in education can come from lack of control and lack of transparency’ #wecollaborate24

In absolute awe of @MissHLawrence’s leadership! From making sure that the team is aware of each other’s pinch points to fostering an environment that is emotionally safe. Hats off to her - how lovely it must be to be her colleague. @WCollaborate #WeCollaborate24

As a rough rule of thumb, don’t trust any pyramid when it comes to learning or psychology innerdrive.co.uk/blog/pyramids-…

Inclusion isn’t just having a seat at the table, but also a voice, and being surrounded by humans who you can trust to share your thoughts with, who won’t judge you for getting it wrong💖 @agwilliams9 @FunkyPedagogy @shadylady222 @benniekara Ian, Kevin and Pippa #wecollaborate24

Even in a conference workshop, there’s always time for a story! Loved the day at #WeCollaborate as part of @DiverseEd2020 talking all things diversity and inclusion

Woke up still feeling energised from #wecollaborate24. My overwhelming takeaway from it each year is the JOY. Everyone is welcoming, generous and we all champion eachother. The buzz I felt all day stays with me as I return to school re-inspired.
