@FFulbright @MrColesDrama @TheWellsAcademy @NAveyard This comment is simply rude and disrespectful

@MrColesDrama @TheWellsAcademy @NAveyard It's people like you we have to drive out of education. Cult weirdos

We’re having a fantastic Inset Day @TheWellsAcademy! @NAveyard has reminded us of our core routines linked to upholding a culture of high expectations, including meet and greet, end and send, corridor culture and line ups. Sweating the small stuff! Leaving nothing to chance!

@Swampyjo @jdurran Completely agree 👍

Teachers who have used booklets and reverted back to PowerPoint based lessons. What has been your experiences with this? What advice might you be able to give? #teacher #pedagogy #historyteacher #booklet

@garethkthomas @EachOtherUK Whilst I respect your commitment to this cause, I have to ask more to understand whether we can align our views. Firstly, are you suggesting that schools are wrong to exclude in any circumstances at all?

The most hard-hitting 2 sentences in all of talent development research:

A hugely important question to ask in evaluating teaching quality is 'how many students could sit through this lesson and still learn nothing of what's being taught?' In this lesson the answer is almost certainly none.

@colotbc @itvcorrie So??

@itvcorrie Oh look , another mixed race relationship

We can hear the wedding bells ringing already! 😍 #Corrie

@ballater6 @Bonniepurple Was the candidate a sports teacher? If not, I feel that the expectation to dress more professionally is justified

@Bonniepurple head of year

hT contacted me to ask my opinion a candidate attended an interview on Mon. dressed in track suit & trainers - rightly or wrongly she made a judgement - he was unsuccessful due to lack of knowledge - she felt he couldn’t be bothered. Should feedback mention first impressions ?!?

@TTRadioOfficial I think that some really good points are made here. I've recently taken to not using PowerPoints and I think it can be much more engaging than assumed. I found it was so useful in getting me to really consider my responsive teaching

@SqueakinglyJen @oldandrewuk This is a ridiculous argument. If a child brings a knife into school, they should be permanently excluded. No exceptions. What about the safety or staff and other pupils?

@oldandrewuk Permanent exclusion doesn’t prevent crime - it just leaves children less supported and more marginalised. Boundaries need to be put in place where children are. Find literally any peer reviewed research or similar evidence that shows permanent school exclusion prevents crime.

I live in an area with only one high school so there are no school exclusions. It’s such a different attitude. Boy brought a knife into school recently and got suspended for a few days (solidly the right call), in one of these ‘tough’ London schools it’d be permanent exclusion.

@tir3dteacher @JaneCas65 @sage_stage Absolutely agree! This lack of accountability is a serious concern in education

Two kids bolted out of class in the middle of the period. I assigned both a detention and contacted the parents. The first parent was immediately apologetic and promised it would never happen again. The second asked if I had any proof and why was I targeting her son

@UnusuallyBased @Miss_Snuffy You're talking absolute rubbish

The boy Unusually is talking about is black. When less than 5% of exams nationally get 9s, why does our boy getting 9s prove standards have dropped? 95% of the exams marked didn’t get a 9. So screw you Unusually! You made me swear and I don’t normally do that! 😡

Stupid fucker ruined my engagement today. Nationalistic assholes

@CalderwoodAngus @TTRadioOfficial Interesting. I would suggest no. The individuals will still know who they are and I would worry that it would disincentive those at the bottom and encourage those at the top to become complacent. Interested to hear opposing views to my own though

Hoping to start leaderboards for subjects for each assessment point next year, in Sixth Form. Current plan = keeping names anonymous and publish percentage scores. Thoughts?

@BRenouf_History @_Ms_J Hi, we are in the process of developing work booklets too but I'm a bit lost with the whole process. Would you be willing to share these? Happy to send resources in return of course

@_Ms_J Each student receives a pack with an exercise book, a reading booklet and a work booklet. Students become accustomed to this routine surprisingly quickly. By the end of the course they have booklets for each component that become their revision guides.

Booklets have been transformative for the teaching of GCSE history in my department over the past 3 years. Students use these alongside a reading booklet and an exercise book for exam questions, revision mind-mapping and any other extended writing.

In case you missed it, here's what @bphillipsonMP said on LBC regarding @ObserverUK's story about phasing out school discipline and sacking @tombennett71. Nick Ferrari: Can you clarify a story that was in The Observer yesterday suggesting that frequent suspensions, isolation booths and strict behaviour regimes could be phased out in England after work done by - I understand - someone who's assisting you in an organisation called Centre for Young Lives? Is that the plan of the Labour government? Bridget Phillipson: No, I'm afraid there was some inaccuracy around that. What I can say to your listeners is that a Labour government expects high standards where it comes to behaviour within our schools. We know that in order for children to learn they have to be in calm, orderly environments where they get the support that they need from our teachers and school leaders and I back school leaders and the tough choices that they sometimes have to make. It should, of course, be a last resort. I know it is a last resort and it's the last thing that school leaders want to be doing in terms of excluding young people. And parents have got responsibilities as part of that process. I also think government's got responsibilities too and that's why the plans that we're setting out where it comes to, for example, more mental health support in our schools, the need to reform our system for support with children with special education needs. Nick Ferrari: So, children – unruly children - will still be suspended, Secretary of State? Just to clarify that. Bridget Phillipson: Of course. School leaders should retain that important step. It's not something they do lightly because they know the consequences. But there are consequences of not acting. I completely understand the disruption that can be caused to the wider school community. Nick Ferrari: Is it true that the government's behaviour tsar, who, obviously, you inherited from the Conservatives, Tom Bennett will be leaving his post, as also reported yesterday? Is that true? Bridget Phillipson: I genuinely have no idea where that report has come from because, no, that is not the case.

@PhilBeadle Except they are absolutely right. I don't think this was anti-semitic but it was an incredibly stupid thing to say. You've taken no ownership of your comments. Your arrogance has reached a whole new level

This guy is an actual CEO.

I wonder If the advocates of 'zero exclusions' and 'no sanctions' would advocate for the same thing if it was their son or daughter being continually bullied, harassed, assaulted etc, I wonder in that moment if ppl would stick religiously to their approach or make an exception?
