With our ever increasing reliance on AI to do our thinking for us - it is so important that we practice and develop our skills as reflective, critical thinkers! Great session @MsNDevlin #wearebrightfutures

Today we are learning how to effectively manage workload - including an excellent presentation on the positives and pitfalls of AI from Chris Capon of AGGS. Thanks Chris, and as always all our trainees for their valuable contributions!🧡#wearebrightfutures

Small room. Big learning. English trainees reflecting on, and applying ITAP learning. #deathbyPEA #scaffoldinginEnglish

Delighted to have Gary Aubin of @SENDMattersUK leading ITAP3 on Scaffolding and Building Independence. Such a positive and hopeful presentation on developing future teachers who can support all pupils! Inspirational and rooted in practice - brilliant! Thank you!🧡

Always great to bring the whole Bright Futures cohort of trainees together🧡! Thank you @DerbyUni for another fab PGCE day #wearebrightfutures

It is so important to have strategies to support our most vulnerable pupils - and equally important to support the well-being of our trainees. Fantastic session from @lisawisher on the impact of early trauma on pupils & looking after your own well-being. Thank you! 🧡

Really interesting discussions happening about annotation on here. I've always thought that theme tracking might be more useful? Nobody does it more beautifully than Kate in Year 10 #litincolour #leavetaking

Really enjoying this thread on how to approach texts when teaching - covers the balance of "granular interpretation of technique" and "magic of the text"

Year 12 are having a lecture from @Freeburian from the @ShakespeareBT this morning! Fantastic opportunity to hear from experts in the field 📚📖 thank you!
