My daughter and I have a message for @DamianHinds on behalf of the ‘forgotten third’ of students who have struggled through the education system to achieve grades 1-3 #ForgottenThird

This is the most impressive and instantly useful #AI demo I’ve seen so far! It is called Google's NotebookLM. I uploaded my entire new book "IRREPLACEABLE" and it transformed it into a podcast, study guide, FAQ, timeline, and an accurate chatbot that references specific parts of the book to support its answers. Don't just take my word for it—listen to the podcast it generated for my book. It’s unbelievable. Seriously, take a listen... And yes, it's a bit unsettling, too! What do you think? #artificialintellligence

Absolutely shocking figures from UNICEF looking at child poverty rates. No wonder families and schools are struggling.

These whiteboard folders have been a game-changer for me this year. Pupils stick paper to the back of their books for a personal wowo board, pen & storage. Worksheets inserted for low-stakes first attempts, magnet attachment for display, no faff starters #Teacher #OldDogNewTricks

It’s an exciting time to join us, with lots of opportunities available!

@JohnTizard All the best @JohnTizard I look forward to seeing what a difference you can make!

Today, I am privileged to start my term as Bedfordshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner. My pledge is to champion the interests of the residents and communities of our county. This is time for change with a new PCC with a new approach and a new mission.

We believe education is more than classroom based learning, so our staff have run a variety of residential experiences this past term. We’ve been proud of our pupils’ excellent conduct & it looks like parents have been pleased too. Here’s some of the lovely feedback received!

This is what school trips should be about - camaraderie, new experiences and building skills. Not a mobile phone in sight!

@WoottonTrust @lehain Welcome home Mark! I remain pleased I returned and I hope you will be too.

We are pleased to announce that, @lehain has been appointed as our new Executive Headteacher. We look forward to welcoming Mark in the autumn term!

Never mind my opinion on Universal Studios, the whole of the UK now knows how old I am! bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Hopefully a really exciting opportunity for the College and students in the future - a really interesting and useful event.

@bennewmark I did return after 4y working for an education charity. The job was prestigious, with an infinitely better work life balance, but I’m a teacher at heart & missed the pace & madness!Time out allowed me to find perspective & I now do 4 days as AHT rather than 5 as Head of College.

Question for ex teachers who work in education (teacher training, consultants, academics etc). Do you ever consider returning to teaching? What puts you off?

@HaleDonal While education isn't edutainment, it's important to acknowledge that we're dealing with children. Perhaps the some of the decline in attendance & worsening mental health could be attributed to the diminishing sense of joy in learning experiences & relentless pressure to perform.

... science, evidence-informed practice, CLT, Explicit Instruction. And, from my experience, that's a really good thing. Not being the 'hero teacher'. Sound effective pedagogy centred on students' learning. I could never go back to what it was... Anyone else similar? END

🧵 Teaching English in 2010 vs 2024 I was reflecting this morning on the difference in my approach to teaching metaphor from being an NQT and today... In the days where OFSTED discourse as about 'engaging' lessons and 'inspiring' students (which in 2010) meant being FUN ... /1

Considering a new challenge - it’s a really exciting time for the Trust, with lots of opportunity to influence change:

Love a good school trip but definitely breathed a big sigh of relief as we drove through the school gates with 118 happy pupils and staff last night! Now rest… 💤

@modfl_ What’s it for?

History sorted - thank you! We are looking for Maths, Biology and RE A Level teachers available on 9th March in London. Please spread the word or if that's you, please get in touch! ❤️🙏

@victoriaamy13 I’ve never seen anything like it before!

@SarahLChick That's beautiful to see!

What is this phenomenon? #Weather #MoonBow #LesArcs #FrenchAlps

The first pancake is always a test, right? #PancakeDay #PancakeMonster

Brilliant for our little club @vervegymnastics to receive recognition at the Bedford Sports Awards this evening 🤸🏽‍♂️😀🤸‍♂️
