Miss Henderson 🏰📚

Long day, lots of driving. 😴 But on a positive, I’ve passed the NPQLT 🎉

@historyteach76 Have a lovely Christmas and break and a Happy New Year when it comes! X

Really insightful day! 💕

@MissMcGrath5 I love this!!

Which is crazy what it can do to your thought process. “I have to mark tests” to “I get to mark tests” because realistically I’m in a position today I’d only have dreamed of 5 years ago. The profession isn’t perfect, but this has helped me… so may help somebody else

I listened to an interesting podcast this morning. In reflect from strikes it’s so easy to get bogged down in constant talks about workload and feel negative about it. Which doesn’t help tasks. This podcast talked about shifting mindset, instead of “I have to…” “I get to..”

Before Twitter gets taken over with Christmas-spam, let it be known that if a child in Year 11 with a Sept-Nov birthday goes into care tonight, there’s now a 50/50 chance they’ll end up in unregulated accommodation. That’s because according to this gov, 16 & 17 year olds don’t

@historyteach76 Ah thank you! As will you! 🥰 You definitely did - I still find myself going back to your T&L ideas when planning!! Absolutely do - I’ll give you a message! X

@historyteach76 Those were the days and that infamous meltdown aha! 😂 Ah thank you! Head of History from today too! Will be a challenge but super exciting! We really do - lemme know when you’re free! X

@historyteach76 Ahhhh amazing!! You’ll be fab…speaking from personal experience of how great you are/were to me! 💕

@stianwestlake @Framheadteacher @MrsCgeography - We we’re kinda talking about this before!!

In today's Revisiting Grad School, we have Dr. Ben Dodds, associate professor of History @floridastate revealing how he got interested in medieval history. Read about his time as a grad student at Durham University, UK, at fla.st/198BT58E Post credit: Emily Lu #fsuhistory

@missjackson_j Not strictly Government and Politics but AQA offer GCSE sociology which has elements of politics. I studied it and enjoyed it! It would also fit into other Citizenship topics like crime etc. Sadly AQA only offer Government and Politics as a sole topic at A-level which is a shame!

Does anyone teach some form of government and politics to their students at KS3+/orKS4? I've looked into Citizenship at KS4 already, but does anyone have any other courses they could recommend or a way their school fits it into the curriculum? Any ideas would be great!😊

@debsdaysgoneby Aw excellent news! 🙌🏼 x

@historyhanlon Yeah, literally just generic stuff. Wordsearches, spelling tests, comprehension, maths problems...there’s loads free on Tes. Literally just to keep them occupied! Also, ink, I always get the dupes from Amazon, they’ve always worked well for me and a lot cheaper!

@historyhanlon Although, I would 100% having a folder with wordsearches/literacy/numeracy (and obviously History ha) tasks should you need to keep students busy if cover work can’t be found or as an extension tasks. Saved me a few times giving them something to focus on! ☺️

@historyhanlon Honestly depends on whether you’re doing day to day or long-term cover. Day to day, rarely because you never know what you’re doing from one day to the next. Long-term, sometimes but was usually given everything I needed/access to a printer.

@Marcosplace @debsdaysgoneby We were learning together haha! Hope you’re well Alan! ☺️
