Recovering English teacher, head, and union baron. Chiefly: books, food, Shakespeare, oracy … and endless pics of Suffolk skies with border terrier Molly B.

Here we see why Andy Burnham is right to avoid the circular firing squad of media, at critical moments; This is a classic ‘Murdoch loop’ - the creation of “news” by one Murdoch entity talking to another - if you allow questions you give these people viral content, the Question becomes the story, is asked purely to become a story and has nothing whatsoever to do with fair journalism.

It was a brilliant @NATE conference as usual. I have gained so much from NATE events like this in my career. Organisations like @National_Drama can also help support teachers to bring drama back into the English classroom in simple but effective ways. And in other subjects too.

This bear was a prop in my used at a drama workshop at the NATE conference this week. We need to bring texts to life via drama It acts like a zip wire into texts. Claws them off the page and makes them live.

Apropos nothing: the Barton family are on holiday in France (I’m not, sadly), and so - deploying my, er, legendary DJing skills - I have inevitably put together a musical megamix of favourite songs from past family outings to celebrate summer. Enjoy. mixcloud.com/GeoffyB/barton…

@tes Inclusive approaches...What do they look like? For me, as an English specialist & ex-English teacher, they involve tweaking of tasks, offering one or two choices of outcome, watching out for someone struggling & making small adaptations along the way, genuinely formative...1/

The view from here: a huge pleasure to talk @Literacy_Trust’s energising reading conference today about oracy, literacy and social justice. Great to catch up with Steve King @FaberBooks (working with him on some projects), plus former @KEGS_Debaters member Georgia Walls

A fantastic sun-drenched afternoon toasting the career of trust CEO and great friend, Sarah Skinner, ahead of her retirement. Great also catch up with two other great #Suffolk heads - Maeve Taylor and Sue Hargadon. Molly B watches on.

The view from here: a delight to join @TheRSC colleagues today at #educationfest to talk about our ground-breaking Shakespeare Curriculum platform, and talk about how it gives pupils agency, whilst developing their #literacy and #oracy abilities
