Hello everyone 👋 Seven Stories Learning Team here! We're so excited to launch a brand NEW account for teachers, educators and readers to stay up to date with us. We're here to support YOU in accessing a world of storytelling, imagination, reading for pleasure & much more! 📚

Routines enable students to spend less time thinking about the *process* of learning so they can spend more time thinking about the *content* of learning. A thread on how teachers can redeploy attention: ↓

These would be great as narrative prompts @Team_English1 theguardian.com/books/2023/apr…

Unfortunately so many familiar examples in this...

Observing one of our brilliant ECTs today teaching AS Chemistry and this exchange between 17 year olds made my week: "OK, yes that's why it's right" "It's so fun when you get it in the end, isn't it, like maths." "I know, you just suddenly feel so great about yourself."

Great thread Laura, we just had this conversation with out heads of faculty as we were noticing the same interchangeable use.

@RachelPiXL @teachingalewis @andy_samm I'm so looking forward to listening to this now! I am headed back to the UK for a little while from next week too... 🤰

@teachingalewis @miss_pape @ThePiXLNetwork @failbettercw @andy_samm @andy_samm is doing some English work for us! Only @failbetter who I need to rope in!

Absolute pleasure to be involved with my old Head of Department @RachelPiXL and @miss_pape with the @ThePiXLNetwork leadership bookclub episode 1. Great to discuss how we can and can't apply the Heath brothers' thinking to the education leadership domain: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/pix…

When you've found a good relaxing spot to get on with #npqsl assignments and notice you're being watched... 😱 🐊

What an incredible way to start a Thursday. An essential listen for all educators. Are we ploughing through the curriculum regardless of whether learning is sticking? Excellent messages and discussion. Bringing together all of our learning, thank you.

Our very first community school reading club with our 6th form students after Covid.28 students from Shree Tika School, grade 8 will be in TBS every Wednesday starting today for the reading club.

When a letter from a year 10 makes you feel quite teary. Thank you to this young person.

Great opportunity to join our wonderful school in gorgeous Nepal and have a real impact on our #send students. Get in touch!
