@joel120193 I do some sort of intellectual prep before a lesson (notes).I plan the sequence, and if my Q are unplanned I use a method that moves from checking in parts,building to students recalling/expl concept back to me in whole. In lesson,CFL>CFU>secure?>confident? approach.

@joel120193 Interesting Q & great thread. It’s made me think about how nuanced Q is and how we support less exp. colleagues with it.

To those who do not use PowerPoints: If you have a MWB question you want to give pupils, do you just say this verbally and they answer? Do you write it down on the board/visualiser? How do you plan for what you're asking, do you have this in your head or is it written down?

@BradleyKBusch @Inner_Drive This looks amazing. Yes pls to a copy,

@Becky7692 Hi Becky. I lead on KS3 assessment and it would be great to share thoughts!

Would love to engage with someone around ks3 assessment, and happy to offer any advice/resources in return 🤞🏼. Please let me know if you can help. 🙃

@m_chiles This is an excellent idea!

***YEAR 6 TRANSITION*** A key part of our transition strategy this year is to provide our Year 6 students with a clear understanding of life at Longdendale. Our story boards share life at Longdendale through our mascot, Lenny 😊 #transition #schoollife

@TeachLeadAAli @unleashing_me @AJRAllModCons @ChilternTSH 🤦🏽‍♀️

So I know @unleashing_me are close, some might some brothers, but we are definitely not the same person! Google attributing Sufian's face to my name, much to his happiness at how much that bothers me! @AJRAllModCons @ChilternTSH 😂😂😂

@PaulGarvey4 @DTWillingham I can see the genuine need for empathy and support, perhaps CBT when anxiety is severe. I hope we might also be able to consider earlier intervention approaches e.g. addressing root causes of school-based anxiety, often related to performance & reframing it as effort.

@supernova2gold @DTWillingham Me too. But it’s very easy to spot confirmation bias as the opinion expressed in the OP is a long, long way from the consensus.

When students are anxious/depressed, one method of remediation might be TEACHING THEM TO DO SCHOOL BETTER. Just got this message from a mental health professional.

@PaulGarvey4 @DTWillingham I also don’t think there’s a need to get entrenched in this or that arguments. Trad or not, as a mother & teacher, I do believe recognising barriers, and supporting young ppl to overcome these is what the majority of educators aim to do.

@DTWillingham @supernova2gold Or, of course, schools could do better for the children. But that’s not Daniel, or the traditionalists’ way, is it? Children have to do things for them to make their working lives easier. There’s something deeply wrong with that statement, when you actually think about it.

@DTWillingham @PaulGarvey4 I lead on exams. I’ve proactively lead a strategy to reduce anxiety by discussing how to prepare, revise and manage revision. Sometimes, this meta-thinking might be assumed or overlooked. In my experience, explicit discussion of barriers/techniques has helped Ss manage anxiety.

@PaulGarvey4 @supernova2gold I don't think you understood the point. The therapist was saying "students can be anxious because they don't have the skills to learn independently." Skills like reading or preparing for an exam. We can teach these skills. The point isn't to make teachers lives easier.

🔥 ‘If we want to break the cycle, the solution is …. treating implementation fidelity as an achievement, not an afterthought, and creating political and institutional cover for leaders who choose continuity over novelty’. A blog of brilliance.

Potus, the bunny & the war update. That’s all folks.

@HalilMrT4Real @BGT How wonderful that these children experienced something so wholesome, that has now had a knock-on effect radiating joy on screens across the nation. Bravo! Best of luck for the next round!

What if your school doesn't have too many problems; it has too many ideas? Talked about cognitive load in organisations this week and I haven't stopped thinking about it. shaneleaning.com/podcast/154 #SchoolLeadership

This, yes 🙌🏽

The contrast between poverty and entitlement is so stark. Even in the uk. The queue at my local food bank always reminds me of those who are treading water. Imagine if we stood to greet those in need, to gift what we have instead.

"Requires Attention." Schools with high FSM are far more likely to sit under that label in the new Ofsted framework, especially the Achievement section. Daft thing is, it already has our attention. It always will. Poverty requires attention. Hunger requires attention. Trauma requires attention. A judgement that ignores all of that - and then penalises the people giving their lives to the cause? That requires attention too.
