@olicav: “keep being inventive the researchers will follow .. the researchers are not faced with the daily challenges teachers are forced to create solutions for” Great reminder that being research informed is just the start! Hold ideas lightly & keep questioning! #rEDNorwich

@bridiemcpherson Thank you SO much for sharing this. It's everything that I've been feeling that I need for my students but, have been totally unsure how to start. Really appreciate you sharing a resource that must have taken so long to complete. Thank you.

I've been thinking about how to elevate students' writing in Sixth Form by encouraging them to express and structure their ideas more independently. I want more decision making, fewer formulas. This is the 1st draft of a booklet I've made to scaffold that independence.🧵

Today has been hard. Last night my Mum was taken into hospital in septic shock following pneumonia. We were warned that the next 48 hours are critical. We can’t visit because of COVID restrictions (which I understand) & because she is on a corridor as the hospital is full.

@MrsTaylorITT Renaissance Learning conducted the study of GCSE papers requiring a reading age of 15 Years and 7 months. I quote Professor Keith Topping a lot. In 2018, he conducted studies into reading ages of students in Secondary schools - why there’s limited progression since Primary.

@Missy_Megan @MissRemfry Completely agree. Equally, if you don’t agree with a rule - talk to your SLT about why it exists. There’s usually a good reason why - even if it doesn’t impact your role - which’ll help you understand why it needs enforcing. SLT don’t make up rules for fun!

If there’s a school rule that you don’t follow because you don’t “agree with it” you’re a bad team player. Because that’s screwing over the next teacher they go to who does enforce that rule. Enforce your school rules or go to a school that fits better with your ethos.

@FreyaMariaO Choosing just 5 is hard! •Mrs J/L comparison: ‘My Child’ & later house move comparison (free choice vs. assigned) •Policeman’s treatment •Classroom/expulsion •‘Take a letter Ms Jones’ •Edward discussing what he’d do if he didn’t have a job - ignorance of money.

@FreyaMariaO Brecht theory works well alongside Blood Brothers if you haven’t got that in your context. I always teach the narrator as acting like a conscience. He’s always on stage watching and his songs are the characters’ emotional states. Worth noting how Mrs J assumes his role in Act 2.

WHW vs PEE There can be an assumption WHW is for top level students and PEE for those who find English difficult I actually think WHW is *easier* than PEE PEE assumes you already know what to say, but somehow not the order in which to say it. WHW can help to generate thinking

Did I see a tweet on here recently about the estimated reading age required in order to access a secondary school curriculum?

@samanthatedd @MissSFEnglish I love this! Do you happen to have an electronic version that could be emailed or a dropbox to download it from? I’d love to ‘steal’ it if you didn’t mind?

I’m trialing teaching Great Expectations at GCSE level this year. We currently teach ACC but I want to see if this could work. Does anyone have any resources they wouldn’t mind sharing?!I’m starting completely from scratch without ever having taught it before. 🤞🏻🙏🏻💙 #teamenglish

The NPQ in Leading Teacher Development is fully-funded by the DfE. This NPQ is led by @carnaby_mr, Director of English and Curriculum, and would be great for those who are mentors for ETCs.

@emma_c_williams I referred to “Dr Holmes” today on several occasions. My students corrected me 🙈The great thing is that they were so certain it was wrong that they were confident to correct me - which basically counts as formative assessment showing how well they know it… right?
