@TTRadioOfficial Yes - no inset day. Not being able to access online info and systems until you start. More in depth handover needed. Parents evenings before you know the kids.

Have you ever moved schools in the middle of the academic year? What were the challenges you faced?

@CMooreAnderson This is something I would be prepared to spend my money on! Super diagram, reproducible on the board. Want

My Year 11s are preparing this week for their Non-Calculator mock examination. So I put together a little revision reminder sheet. If you want to be added to the mailing list, please retweet and DM a request. Working through the backlog of requests atm.

@HughesHaili Due to weight loss, not because you don't always look fab 😘

@HughesHaili Wow! You are looking totally fab, I almost didn't recognise you!

Last prom night!

@jorothery1 @CanterburyCLP @TheWhitstableLC @WhitLab Hell yes!

@DomWD1 @tombennett71 @adamboxer1 @Strickomaster Get some well levelled tasks on the board. Then stand and watch h as they all begin and get on with it for a bit. Only then start ti kering with regular checks back. It is an awful situation so you have my sympathy xx

Dealing with poor behaviour due to technology not working, prime time for students to play up and do anonymous behaviour (e.g. making silly noises when back turns etc.) Anyone have strategies for dealing with such anonymous behaviour ? @tombennett71 @adamboxer1 @Strickomaster

@EmmaDidAThing Chat to the kid and find out what is causing it then ring the parent/carer and discuss. Offer what support you can as a school. If there are no issues we sign conduct cards and after 3 signatures it is lunchtime detention.

What do you do about persistent lateness in your setting? What are the sanctions/incentives used to get pupils into school on time?

@mrscraven_sci Please coykd I have a copy

Blown away by how many of you have asked for my Bio2 PEC, I really appreciate the feedback! Hope it helps everyone out that little bit 🙂 #edutwitter #chatbiology

@FriendlyBiology There's this: behindthebiologylessons.wordpress.com/2021/04/06/kid… Hope it helps

@KJF239 Thank you so much 💓🙏 😇

Any requests for my next 'how I teach xxx at A level' blog?!

People 35 and older: when did you first have a computer in your home?

@Katey_Lovell Hallway

Children of the 70s/80s/90s - when you were growing up what room was the phone in? (Landline, obviously)

@ngeachysj @MrTs_NQTs I used to cover Y2 ppa amd they loved my lesson on life cycles. We did frog, butterfly, tree and human. They listened and watched, sorted toys and images, acted out and then did some writing. It was such fun to teach and whenever they saw me they would ask for more info

I have my first interview on Friday. I have the freedom to teach what I would like to a group of 12 mixed ability year 2s for 20 minutes. Does anyone have any wow ideas/succesful lessons they would mind sharing 😁 @MrTs_NQTs

@Hookean1 @alomshaha A back-lit kindle so I can continue to read when my husband sleeps and prescription sunglasses

What are the 2 best products you have ever bought for yourself? For me it might just be: 1. Polarised prescription sunglasses for driving. So clear you feel like a superhero driving. 2. A slidebelt (thank you to @alomshaha for enlightening me on these). This has been amazing 🙂

@missbprimary__ @MrTs_NQTs When I was working in primary Y4 were my faves by a mile!

@KJF239 @STEMyBanda @Rainmaker1973

@STEMyBanda @Rainmaker1973 This is like students who need to realise that knowledge won’t fall into their brains!

Crested mynas, as many other birds, are born altricially, which means young are underdeveloped at the time of birth, therefore fed by parents. When they grow up, they have to learn that food doesn't simply jump into their beaks [📽️: Rebecca Gelernter]

@RogersHistory None, I was asked to apply and not interviewed, which made things a bit awkward between me and those who did interview. Not well handled at all.

ppl who have been or are currently middle leaders, how much training did you get before starting the role? How ready did you feel you were to take it on from a leadership/management perspective?

@sarita204sharma @cogscisci @tmscienceicons @ChatPhysics I have found that lots of shared writing has helped. Kids use MWB to come up with sentences, I chose onee, the other kids try to improve it. We then write it down and start on the next sentence. The hange in the level of exam question answers has been so noticeable

Hi science teachers need your suggestions . What strategies you use to incorporate ‘Literacy’ in lessons? @cogscisci @tmscienceicons @ChatPhysics
