@steverollett Thanks for your insight today @steverollett - great session!

Here’s me speaking in the ‘Heroes Club’ today. The ‘Policy Wonk Club’ room must have been taken.

Reminds me of @realdcameron story of 'the boy you threw away' smashing his A Levels and getting into uni. A thread throughout today has been the power of love and inclusivity in education 🫶 2/2

Struck by Ziauddin Yousafzai's message around challenging social norms - if we fight for equity for underrepresented groups, they'll show everyone why it was mad they didn't have it to start with 1/2 #snesummit24

I'm in Newcastle today representing @BrilliantClub at the @SCHOOLSNE Summit. Already had an amazing history lecture from @northumbriana and looking forward to learning more from all the educators here #SNESummit24

Beautiful morning for a networking breakfast! Great to meet people working across youth services, healthcare, schools and community groups to share the work of The @BrilliantClub . Thank you for organising @LLAlliance

@HoyleDoc @tes Right now I'm about 60% it'll be us.

@GeorgiePorter @tes ..it will be interesting to see if we are both still scheduled to be in school on the 1st June, or if the new rota kicks in 🤔

It's not just our government facing heavy criticism over it's handling of the pandemic — If you look at Singapore, you realise that it has got a lot wrong, writes one international principal tes.com/news/coronavir…

@HoyleDoc @tes Thanks! Interesting to compare... They have sixth form going back on Monday and then gradually bringing back other year groups the week after. Only 3 more weeks of term for them though!

@tes @GeorgiePorter 🙂

@CaliaDomenico @p0sitivepr0ton did you se this??!

Crazy backyard science experiment

‘Teachers shrug their shoulders and think: this is what a job in education requires. And it’s not. It is not healthy, not for teachers, not for their family and not for the children they teach’ 👈100% We need to stop normalising martyrdom in teaching. theguardian.com/education/2019…

@LJFraser119 @LJFraser119 is there anything to read or look at in advance do you know? :)

@SteveCox17 @mrk_hm1 I think most people will of course be dialling in for the wise words of our former president... Can we get more presidential presence? @edu_jessy @GeorgiePorter @Edison1d @_danielletobin #tagaTFpresident @TF_Ambassadors

Thanks for this @LJFraser119! Looking forward to hearing thoughts of others... And of course from the excellent @mrk_hm1.

@LJFraser119 @SteveCox17 @mrk_hm1 @edu_jessy @Edison1d @_danielletobin @TF_Ambassadors Thanks Laura. Can't make it to to the Manchester one sadly but will dial in on Thursday. No promises for wise words though, like most people I'm more lost for words lately.

@barton_jess How far a drive from Halifax are you...? Hope all is good!! :)

.@j_johnbaptiste as if you just presented at #rED19 after your first week as an NQT 👏 hope you'll have a well deserved rest for the remainder of the weekend!

About to listen to @teacherhead @researchED1 - remember this is a Saturday afternoon folks #rED19, really packed, teachers are still a lot energy, wow, very inspiring and humbling.

. @DavidDidau "As adults we've quit everything we have ever [been given negative feedback on], in order to focus on what we're at least competent at and, in this regard, we're pretty rubbish role models for our students" 😂 #rED19

.@profbeckyallen on whether we know which schools are actually good: "Integrity is threatened by the pressure [the system] puts on you to do well" #rED19

@educatingholmes 😂

Spotted: @GeorgiePorter #BNITF

Excited to be back at @researchED1 conferences! First up is @profbeckyallen #rED19

Always love the buzz of hundreds of teachers in one place! Let's do some nerding 🤓 #rED19

.@TF_Ambassadors sorry if I've missed it but any chance you could pin an explanation of this change in the name? Sad that the idea of TF President might have just disappeared into the ether 😢 @edu_jessy @mrk_hm1 @_danielletobin @Edison1d
