Science teachers. Lockdown is tough for all. So here's a selection of google form assessments to use for AQA GCSE and our in house KS3 assessments. Just make a copy and away you go!@physicsbypatel @RickardsScience @chemistrysmit @AhmedKhattabUK @keziah70 drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

Just been picking blackberries with my daughter. Photosynthesis really is amazing.

Five books to get for anyone interested in educational leadership: The Teacher gap (@profbeckyallen and @DrSamSims) Pastoral leadership (@amymayforrester) Middle leadership mastery (@MrARobbins) Culture (@Ruth_Ashbee) Teach like a champion (@Doug_Lemov) Lots of other ace books, but these are my faves

To say you need to "build relationships" with students in order for them to learn is to say nothing. The teacher-student arrangement IS a relationship. What people mean when they say that is you should be FRIENDS with your students. It's a hard no for me.

@GillianKeegan @RishiSunak So teachers deserve a pay rise after all this great work?

📈 89% of schools are rated good or outstanding, up from 68% under Labour. 📚 Our primary school children are now the best readers in the western world. ⬆️ Our secondary school children have risen from 27th to 11th in maths & 25th to 13th in reading. Well said @RishiSunak 👏

@lifeofkiran @chatbiology @ChatPhysics @ChatChemistry I’d love a copy please? 🙏

THIS IS HORRIBLE! UGA student was caught smashing another student performer's piano and reaching into the tip jar. SMH

This amazing video could be great for adaptation lessons in Biology. Not for the faint-hearted though!😨

Last term we decided to focus on teaching behaviour explicitly to our pupils. We had recently maintained our outstanding grade but felt like behaviour wasn't quite where we wanted it to be. We decided to explicitly teach pupils our values. This is how it went 🧵

This new tool from @ICT_MrP is perhaps the best ever invention in education. All you have to do is type what you want (worksheets, lesson plans, ppts and lots more!) and it utilises AI to make it for you in 30s. Use the code reports23 for 50% off. teachmateai.com

I've been working on GCSE AQA SLOP booklets over this year. They include core questions, required practicals and also separate booklets for triple. T1-4 are available in the link in my bio. T5-7 coming soon! @cogscisci @chatbiology

Some schools - You love them and they love you and it just works. You know if you left they’d be gutted and you would be too. The kids would be gutted above anything. In teaching, it can be tough to find these places. I’ve taken it for granted in my career - twice. And I paid the price. Because the places I left to were not a fit for me. Worst scenario, you leave somewhere for a place that is utterly toxic.
