Just wondering if there is any interest for trainees/NQT’s/students to be paired up with more experienced teachers/SLT/Heads for monitorships, guidance, support and friendship? Maybe we could try and get something going in the spirit of Tom Rogers’ match making innovation. 💛

@Suchmo83 That’s incredible, well done, and to everyone that contributed.

This year's royalties for The Art and Science of Teaching Primary Reading have arrived (£5,477). As promised, this money has been donated to Malaria Consortium. This brings the running total donated (with Gift Aid) to roughly £57,000 in four years. >>

@adamboxer1 @whhtmaternity Huge congratulations Adam, to you and the family.

Welcome to the world baby girl Boxer ❤️❤️❤️ Mum and baby did a spectacular job, and a special thank you to all at @whhtmaternity, in particular midwives Grace and Dorothy, and neo natal nurses Andrea and Lovely 🙏🙏

Inclusion should be a way of rethinking the whole system, not a bolt-on for special needs (@MelAinscow , Booth & Dyson, 2006). Inclusive education is a fundamental principle of education for all. @UNESCO Inclusion is not an add-on; it is the heart of education.

@C_Hendrick academia is moving fast these days

Teachers leave (or plan to leave) the profession primarily because of unsustainable workloads, poor administrative support, limited autonomy, and inadequate pay. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@neetu_arnold Opposing solid curriculum on the basis of the "learning styles" myth should be instantly disqualifying. If you're a teacher leader, you have a responsibility to know these things. onlineteaching.umich.edu/articles/the-m…

@RonakAtHome @neetu_arnold Enjoyed reading this. Thanks Ronak 🙏

Control: teachers don’t get to “tailor instruction” for students
