@mrfewsteruk @MrTs_NQTs I archive everything and flag for followup. A folder per class, plus one each for tutor, CPD, dept. I have to divide and conquer!

Here is an interesting question as an ECT, what email folders should I create to help better manage the flow of emails? @MrTs_NQTs

This causes no end of frustration and pain for my grandparents. We must do better.

@Dr_A_physics This is amazing and has saved me a colossal amount of planning time for next year, thank you so so much!

I made a thing. I am quite proud of it. Retrieval practice excel spreadsheet that supports pictures. Ideal for physics and other subjects that are picture heavy. Retrieval practice tweeps please rt and share widely. drive.google.com/uc?export=down…

‘I am frequently emailed by teachers who say there has been a huge increase in the number of young ppl who ask not to do things because they are anxious – and these requests are being granted. The concern is this is setting young ppl up to fail, I agree’ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Any daily/weekly independent practice for GCSE Physics along lines of @Corbettmaths or @legophysicsguy out there? Thank you! #ChatPhysics #CogSciSci

@La_Biologuita @eugenemcfadden Could this also mean that he has memorised it? I'm autistic and often find taking notes a bit pointless as I do have the ability to 'replay audio' in my head. Could be worth talking about cognitive load theory and how notes do actually help?

I talk passionately about having a character curriculum and what I believe children deserve.
This here. This is exactly it. Generations of children deserve to be taught about these two. Their respect. Their friendship. Their love.

Important thread. I'm not a mother, but I am a teacher. I do my best for my students. For me, that's loosening the link in the chain.

A thread about parenting as the adult child of neglectful and abusive parents 🧵 My youngest child is doing her A levels, she is dyslexic, super motivated and organised. She plans her time well and uses her parents as resources. I have been following her lead on what she needs.

@GCSchoolTeacher @norchcity My mixed ability yr 9 physics classes are nearly impossible to teach. Behaviour can be tricky, plus students working at KS1 to KS5 standard in one room. Everyone benefits when we set in yr 10, actually becomes enjoyable!

@npaa_uk I'm an ND teacher, all non-class-facing work that requires focus is done at home. Can't concentrate in a workroom with several others and constant interruption from students. Awful for work life balance but is my only option.
English
❓Q for our ND followers.. does anyone regularly catch up on work at home on days off as a coping strategy, especially if your role is 100% office-based?

Welcome back to #MineralMonday!
Today’s cyclosilicate was first discovered by the ancient Egyptians as early as 330 BC. Its name comes from the Greek word “smaragdos,” and is mostly mined today in Colombia. Any guesses?

@LittleToller My dad's bookshelf looks like that too. So beautiful!

In my fathers library and probably his most treasured books are every New Naturalist ever published except for number 71.
Such an amazing and iconic collection of books.

@TTRadioOfficial @MrTs_NQTs It's not just you. Ever.
Ask those you aspire to teach like for help.
Behaviour management first - script everything, be painfully precise and practice!!!
Ignore vague generic waffle -
you need subject specific pedagogy.
Have one evening totally off a week.

If you could give one piece of advice to an ECT starting their first job in September, what would it be?

Today I tried Friends Without Pens for 5 minutes at the beginning of an assessment for the first time. Oh my goodness it was great. So much collaboration happening! It boosted morale and confidence coming in to the assessment. Will definitely be doing this more! #iteachphysics
