Miss Honey.. My Favourite Teacher!!🙊😍🎀🎗 #Matilda #MissHoney #SayNoToMissTrunchball

Once again, All sparked by the wonderful @Mr_Raichura & how he inspires us with his teaching practice. My colleague and I loved it and have lots to take back and implement thank you @NTAScience and the science department for an aspirational day!

Brilliant day today @ArkSoaneAcademy with my colleague. A few years ago we were inspired by @Mr_Raichura at one of his science events there and today we finally got to see it all in live action! So insightful and refreshing. A Huge thank you to @NTAScience and her team. Thoughtful practice. High standards. Proper CPD. #CPD #ScienceTeaching #Education

Being an educator is the best role in the world!!!

It's so funny how Science teacher automatically equals medical Doctor to students. Lol How many times a day are you asked to diagnose something 😩

Absolutely, rushing ahead only hides the gap, it doesn’t close it. When kids don’t have the basics, every lesson becomes a struggle and every teacher becomes a firefighter. Strong foundations aren’t “extra time”; they save time by letting children actually learn, not just survive the curriculum.

I think we often have a problem with professional challenge in schools. I'm a big believer in buy-in and taking people with you. Ultimately though, if you've launched something sensible, explained it properly to colleagues, given them the time and support they need, allowed for discussion and debate, and then a few colleagues *still* aren't doing it? We need to challenge them. This is one of the top 5 conversations I have with leaders: colleagues need to be treated with respect and dignity, but they also have a job description. Teachers are employees. And we can't just decide "oh I'm not going to do that perfectly reasonable thing that I've been asked to do."

Absolutely 😁😂😩

The best teachers I've seen don't use a wide range of activities. They do a few things, and they do them well. They hone them, practise them, and know exactly when each one should be used and why. The students become habituated to them, and learning goes through the roof.

@SciInTheMaking Ahhh this is great! Thank you so much, I will definitely follow this script 💛

@Ms_A_Educator "If your desk sticker has the letter A, raise your hand. You are Partner A. If your desk sticker has the letter B, raise your hand. You are Partner B." "Partner A...explain to Partner B...." That's the script I use :)

Thank you very much for the labelling the desk idea @SciInTheMaking I will be using them for turn and talks also. Can't wait to implement this tomorrow! Here's to smooth/structured turn and talks. #TurnandTalk #PartnerA #PartnerB pic.twitter.com/oL1itOJ9qp

One of my take aways from today... Contenders practise until they get it right! Champions practise until they can't get it wrong! Teachers will rise to the level of our exectations. If we expect them to practise, they will!

Enjoyed today's ECT mentor conference! @ArkSchools @Steplab_co @Ambition_Inst #InstructionalCoaching #ScienceOfLearning

My new principle

Too many in education pity the child whose trauma drives their misbehavior. Fewer notice the silent child beside them, potentially also experiencing trauma at home but subjected daily to a classroom where violence and disruption are endlessly excused because the person in charge feels good about giving second chances (and third, and fourth, and fifth).

@snoble I used this slide (from 1991!) yesterday:

Yes I started implementing concrete examples towards the end of the last school year... Definitely an ingredient towards being a game changer for learning! I noticed that introducing concrete examples early on was turning abstract concepts into something more tangible for my students. It not only clarifies the content/knowledge but makes the understanding stick more. Then combined with a clear exposition, it creates a learning experience that’s both memorable and applicable. Definitely a good approach.
