It's better to go slow in the right direction than to go fast in the wrong direction.

@ArborPrincipal @ArborDubai I thought you were Australian

It’s International Mother Language Day today, with more than 50 nationalities representing @ArborDubai, make sure you give a shout-out in your mother tongue! ‘More a’ means ‘good morning’ in the Maori language of New Zealand - my homeland!

@VHPS_AsstHead But... some teachers do talk too much and really shouldn’t. 😂

1/ Was quite telling yesterday, after a CPD on worked examples, in which I told teachers that how long they talk for is not "on the clock", the relief that many expressed. So many of them have been told for years that teacher talk is inherently bad.

🚨 Competition 🚨 To celebrate my new book (published at the end of Jan) I will be giving away a copy of Retrieval Practice & Retrieval Practice 2: Implementing, embedding & reflecting - both to one winner. Just retweet this tweet to be entered into the prize draw 🎉 📖😁👏🏻

@DCarminati1988 I bloody love it...

Mindfulness is extremely important to us @KingsNadAlSheba. I’m so proud to see the whole staff getting involved in creating mindfulness units of work shared on our dedicated online classroom. @KHDA

@rustysmart @VHPS_AsstHead @Mrs_S_Milner @Mikeeds11 @francescasah LOVING that shirt. Makes @Mikeeds11 look bland.

@VHPS_AsstHead @Mrs_S_Milner @Mikeeds11 @francescasah @jamieefford would be very jealous 👕👔👕👔

Lovely to bump into @VHPS_AsstHead with @Mikeeds11 last night! I think @francescasah was a bit Twitter starstruck 😂😂😂

@Mrs_S_Milner Sloths 🦥 have a communal toilet in the jungle.

Just out of interest, what is the most random fact that you know? (Or at least that you believe to be true)..

@Mrs_S_Milner @edumate2020 @rustysmart @Mikeeds11 @RCSatKings @StPetersAshton Ahh. Spanx mwate. X

@edumate2020 @rustysmart and @jamieefford (even though he abandoned us) because they make me smile and we always have fun (and the occasional moan). @Mikeeds11 and @RCSatKings because they are lovely and amazing Year Leaders which makes my job easier! And Chris Colvin from @StPetersAshton

Who is your best teaching mate and why?

Thank you to every parent, student & teacher in Dubai. This academic year has been 😖😭🤪, but we've also felt 🥰👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🙏. You’ve each faced your own challenges. And you've risen to them. 💪We know we'll come out of this stronger than before. Have a great summer. We love you. ❤️
