Let’s talk workload…

@ICT_MrP We all read that in our ITT 😂

Never forget!

If other jobs were like teaching part 2…

We take wellbeing very seriously at our school. Happy staff perform better and live healthier lives. Win win

40,000 teachers walking away year on year from teaching, number rising not falling. So - pay rises haven't helped (yet, but I don't think they will), ECF hasn't helped, workload reduction groups and reports, CPD offers, wellbeing Wednesdays etc etc Why? 4 things *still* remain problematic (IMO).... Toxic schools need identifying and sorting - both in terms of workload and politics. We need an anon exit interview service from gov where results can be viewed by prospective job candidates. PPA allowance - needs doubling or tripling. OFSTED gradings need to go (I'm unsure if Labour 'report cards' would be better but willing to wait). Flexibility - more schools need to support flexible working where it's possible to.

Teacher burnout is real and unfortunately, becoming increasingly common, which is why it is more important than ever to make sure that you are putting your wellbeing first. Find out more about teacher burnout and how to avoid it in our blog below: twinkl.co.uk/l/b329i

What do you think are the most pointless things in our education system?

@samuelcwhart You sound like the male version of me 😅

Me: I'm 36 and single. I really should be getting out there and meeting people. Also me: If I go to Aldi on a Friday evening it'll be quieter. And if I'm home by 8 I can probably watch two episodes of The Crown before bed...

@Alex_Bramley3 Golly at least you got it. That’s one of those where you need to think a bit more. I always do it for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Now my phone just auto corrected it to that… but I always feel it’s “day of the mothers” so it should be Mothers’ Day.

Yes, I misplaced an apostrophe, but I am astounded by the negativity of some people! I’ve been called ‘inadequate’, ‘shameful’ and ‘embarrassing’ 😔 Imagine how these ‘professionals’ speak to children! Thanks to the vast majority for your positivity 😄 #MentalHealthMatters

@ParsonsPhysics Can’t remember but I recognise this one but can’t remember it’s name or what I played it on 😂

@DeputyGrocott So far, I’ve generated a couple of AI images thanks to Bing to support EAL learners etc when I couldn’t find the image I wanted with a quick google searches

Is anyone using AI in the primary classroom yet? If so, how are you using it and what AI site do you use?

@twinklresources Calling your friend for a chat and hanging up at 59 minutes to then restart the call so it would be free ☎️

We’ll go first… going through the Argos catalogue to make your Christmas list 😅🎄

@HUD_HONCHO @StateOfLinkedIn I’m not that bad! And if the company pays I’d defo treat myself!

Here’s some chicken being cooked in a hotel kettle for your morning viewing

Do you know what’s also damaging to children? Ridiculous amounts of supply Masses of teachers leaving Lack of funding for SEND & special schools Overstretched mental health services Unqualified staff teaching GCSE Huge Ofsted pressure Cost of living But yep those 6 strike days 🙄

@Conservatives @JamesCleverly I’ve lived in two other countries and I am pretty sure that Britain is not the best country in the world. Neither are the ones I lived it but that’s a big boast!

Britain is the best country in the world. Don’t take it from us - listen to the man who's been half way around it 🌎 Join @JamesCleverly from 2pm today live at #CPC23

📚🤗Our #SundaySweetener is for The Grand Hotel of Feelings which is featured in our Literature Review this month! Repost, Favourite and tag a friend for an extra entry! Must be following and we will announce after 9pm.

@madamelanguages Is this secondary? If so have a read through the British councils guide on languages for the future. Maybe linking needs to business might help motivate them.

Hi all. Trying to think about ways to get our students more interested about languages. Other subjects do theatre trips, museum trips etc, any equivalent for languages? Apart from going abroad of course. Based in the Midlands.

@MissSEdw Great ideas just wondering, did you have some sort of discussion about eating or not eating the marshmallows ?

Today, we made marshmallow teeth 🦷🦷
