Thank you to everyone for your comments!! Very happy to share: dropbox.com/scl/fi/46p7z3h… This was just a starting point- I think its important for subject leads to edit/adapt/improve to suit their subjects- but gives people something to work with!

Encourage your students to engage with texts before, during, & after reading! Get an active reading strategy for any learning landscape now: bit.ly/3zUIcB9 #engchat #litchat #literacy

@Mr_AlmondED I agree- it’s banded around without thought about what it actually means in the context of the school.

I think we need a serious conversation on what the phrase ‘broad and balanced’ in the context of a curriculum actually means.

Really love this as a tool to get students thinking harder about their analysis. Could be used effectively to break down a worked example as part of modelling before students attempt their own too!!

@SecondaryUk Really love this as a concept! Thank you for sharing.

Trialling a 'How has my feedback helped you?' - no idea what kind of explanations I'll get, but I'll see tomorrow! Marking/feedback should see the student working harder than the teacher so it's a bit of intrinsic motivation, gratitude and metacognition... #litdrive #teamenglish

@LauraLolder @Team_English1 Thank you so much for sharing these. I shared this with our English department. They are so useful and adaptable- edited them for Edexcel board.

For @Team_English1 - 16 mini mocks for literature. 4 x AIC, ACC, MAC, P&C. Designed for Easter revision BUT .doc included if you want to adapt for lessons/homework etc. All new questions/extracts. If useful, all free here: laurawebbcpd.com/resources/ Enjoy, use, adapt. ❣️👩‍🏫📚

25mins of teaching time per day was cut for this. That's 77hrs lost per year. Over 2 yrs that's 1 GCSE of teaching lost. If students don't use the ruler or hold the book correctly they are disciplined. SLT have hovered in classes to enforce this #astreareads #edutwitter #astrea

Some schools can't open and are teaching on Teams again... My school was closed for weeks last year due to on going building work. I created lots of guides to support staff. If you want support or a guide for staff to use, send me a message. Here's what I have:

@AdGrocott @HauteVallee Congratulations!!!!!

As today becomes September it’s officially official. I had a wonderful 10 years at Grainville School but from today I’ll be part of the team as Deputy Curriculum Leader for Mathematics @HauteVallee

Sharing is caring after all….

@LauraLolder @Team_English1 Ooohhhhhh!!!!!!!!

I have started my this absolute labour of love... a student-friendly version of 'A Christmas Carol' with annotation space, pauses at key quotations, narrative split into sections, motif moments pinpointed... wish me luck! @Team_English1

Ooh! Love this…

@mbythree28 @joharrop1 @AlexJQuigley @Team_English1 @DavidDidau It is for secondary!!! I’ll get it for you tomorrow!

@MrsClarkEnglish @joharrop1 @AlexJQuigley @Team_English1 @DavidDidau Do you mind sharing this canon with me by any chance? Is this for secondary?

I would love if anyone has anything they can share on whole school reading? Any amazing ideas that have got children reading in secondary schools? I’m planning a revamp of our reading culture. l and I need some tips for getting started @AlexJQuigley @Team_English1 @DavidDidau

@HeroicMrT What makes an effectively sequenced curriculum in your siubjext, where students learn and remember more?

What questions am I likely to get for my Head of Department interview tomorrow?

@rroyal110 What does this look like in your school? Does it look different for different faculties, subjects or key stages?

@MrsClarkEnglish Move to a feedback rather than a marking policy

Would anyone in secondary schools be willing to share their marking policy? What have people found to be the best balance between student progress and staff workload? #edutwitter #marking #feedback #marking #workload

@UKS2teacher Best of luck with you NPQ.

@MrsClarkEnglish Oh my goodness. I’m currently looking at this as part of my NPQLL. This is amazing 🙏🏼 thank you for sharing!

I have created a document to support our subject leaders with #disciplinaryliteracy across a range of subjects as a starting point for editing and developing into their own curriculums. Created with the help of AI to really drill down into key aspects of #literacy #edutwitter

@SupportUpton I’ve popped a link to it via Dropbox on my page!

@MrsClarkEnglish This looks impressive. Are you able to share?
