Ofsted’s new toolkit ends subject deep dives — so how can leaders show quality now? I’ve shared a simple Subject Leader Self-Audit Tool aligned with the 2025 framework to help departments reflect and prepare. 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/enserm/p/s… #Ofsted #EduTwitter #SchoolLeadership

I’ve created some free metacognition resources. Here is the first one from the new Metacognition Bitesize Series: Understanding Metacognition. #metacognition #teacher #teaching #learning #edutwitter

Our teaching profession is one of the youngest in the world. That means the many of the leaders are too. Youth brings benefits. But it can’t bring lived experience of earlier professional working lives. So the profession is collectively forgetting what was once deemed important.

To find teachers that ‘have incredible impact’, John Hattie says we need to switch the discussion from saying ‘I care about how you teach’ to saying ‘I care about the impact of your teaching’ tes.com/magazine/teach…

I’m going to write some teaching problem—> solution microblogs. (Short ones!). So.. any requests for specific reasonably common classroom problems that might be useful to include.. ?

One of my favourite edu-books ever written is Making Every Lesson Count by @atharby & @shaun_allison. It’s a practical & accessible book based on their 6 principles of great teaching. Check out this double page summary… (complete with cool new illustrations!)

It takes bravery for a teacher to approach a leader to say they are struggling with behaviour: they need to be met with genuine support, says @ianwhite21 tes.com/magazine/teach…

Science teachers of twitter do you have a technique to help students better answer 6 mark questions? Average marks on a six mark question seems to be just below half, how can I improve this?

I'm really struggling with the transient nature of PowerPoint and my low ability classes. Currently I draw out extra diagrams and notes that they copy to provide them with the organised information to complete tasks. Is there any trick (apart from printing) I'm missing?

Been a while since I've posted SLOP content but finally the entire A Level Chemistry Spec is done: bit.ly/CSS_Folder #CogSciSci #ALevel #chatchemistry Topic 17, 18 and 19 arrive like London Buses in the 00's. Late and at the same time! Disclaimer: May contain typo's

@GriffithsEllis @frapp1 looks useful!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ AQA Combined Foundation booklet uploaded. pitched at a slower pace but still spaced retrieval and exam q practice of all 6 papers. drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

A level Chemistry teachers/students. If you didn’t know, I’ve made videos for the entire OCR A specification. Not doing OCR? No fear, I’ve had hundreds of messages from followers other exam boards saying they’re great 👍 bit.ly/2hqSBeD

Our coronavirus home schooling plan for those that want it: • Empty exercise book sent home with every child • Bundle of reading books sent home • Weekly old school menu of activities to do on website • Some additional consolidation/revision work on website Not too mad 🤷🏻‍♀️

I hope it doesn’t come to this but I’d recommend a subscription to @MyGCSEScience for Y11 science students if schools have to close- and even if they don’t The videos are exam board specific, there are MCQs and past paper questions with mark schemes. All very clearly organised.

@prof_di_chimica @MyGCSEScience And there is also gcsephysicsonline.com

For A level Chemistry I’d recommend sharing with students the YouTube playlist for @MaChemGuy and the revision notes by @NGoalby chemrevise.org
