Interested in joining a forward-thinking, supportive and team orientated English department? Look no further! We have a permanent Teacher of English position available: theferrers.org/vacancies/

Wanted to make homework more challenging and purposeful, so I created critical thinking booklets, which have some fab reading materials for students to critique. Thanks: @mrsmacteach33 @SPryke2 @SaysMiss @britishlibrary @TheRSC amongst others! Access: drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

I had no money growing up. My dad was a labourer and my mum did everything to make ends meet. Men worked hard. Women worked miracles. But education was free. As was the local library. I knew books were my passport to a better life. #SupportLibraries

@melissa_bsl @Headfornothing1 Aww, Melissa 🥰 so pleased to hear you have positive memories of school!

@Headfornothing1 No primary but will always remember ‘ positive vibes‘ @kfrost87 :) a couple of year later still remember:)

What are your happy memories from primary school? Interested to see what's made an impact.Mine: 1. A trip to the farm with a huge jam tart for lunch 2. Being picked for a big part in the play 3. Getting the giggles in assembly & the teachers seeing the funny side and joining in!

@lessoncopy Show them you care, and tell them why you want them to do well. It's very hard to dislike a teacher who thinks highly of you, and wants the best for you.

How do you build good relationships with students? (I’m looking for specifics) #edutwitter

Beyond exciting to see ♥️ How To Get a 9 in Shakespeare 🖤 out in the wild! I’d love to give away a free copy: if you fancy one for a #Shakespeare mad Year 10/11, your own bedside table #CPD, or to put on a department bookshelf - just retweet! TIA #teamenglish #freebie #comp

It’s time for a GIVEAWAY! To celebrate the release of our book from @JohnCattEd myself and @BeckyTeachopia have TWO copies we’d like to give away. You just need to RETWEET and LIKE this tweet. We will pick two people at random on Wednesday evening. Get involved @Team_English1 📚

@Lhowell131988 @LisaCook81 @AQA In exactly the same boat as you. I’m not sure where to go from here as I’ve exhausted trying to make contact with @AQA now. Absolute shambles.

@LisaCook81 @AQA It's my first time marking and I have to say it's putting me off ever doing it again due to no pay and zero response from AQA. Spent 45mins on hold only to then be cut off by them. Outrageous.

Sorry @AQA I don’t feel like marking the additional scripts, as I haven’t been paid for the first ones yet!

@fellowliteracy @AQA Yes same boat here - generic response over social media but no one responding to emails or answering phone calls! Very annoyed and frustrated.

@AQA Done!

@AQA still waiting for my pay - I completed my quota two weeks ago and have been marking extra scripts. I am now reluctant to continue.

@toosweettwoo @AQAEnglish @AQA Just shocking isn’t it? I was on the phone straight after school yesterday and then they switched the phones off half an hour before they were meant to close as well. Disgusting treatment overall.

@kfrost87 @AQAEnglish @AQA I'm in the same boat despite hitting 100% a week ahead of schedule. It's awful.

@AQAEnglish @AQA so, repeatedly on hold for well over 30 mins on the phone with it terminated and no response to emails sent days ago. No payment or payslip produced and at nearly 100% of papers marked - when are you going to sort this out? Poor experience for a first time marker

Behaviour: After 12 years in a school where students present with challenging behaviour, here is my absolute top behaviour tip 1/

#BringingForthTheBard – a brand new book on teaching Shakespeare by @greeborunner – is available with 30% in our special Jubilee weekend discount! Use code BH30 at the checkout here: crownhouse.co.uk/bringing-forth…. #Shakespeare #TeachingShakespeare

🧵 for teachers who like poetry but don’t always have time to explore beyond exam anthologies to contemporary poets. Random order - with possible GCSE anthology pairings if you want to teach them. Otherwise just enjoy! Feel free to add👇@Team_English1 #edutwitter

@trainteachgrow @Team_English1 @AlevelEngLit @DeeCanEnglish

@DeeCanEnglish @Farhadilady @Team_English1 We are moving towards a model that focuses more on ‘live feedback’ during lessons rather than excessive marking every book each time we do an extended piece of writing. It relies on teachers being proactive during lessons, but feedback is instant which students can use.

@Farhadilady @Team_English1 @kfrost87

How do we assess KS3 English? How does your school approach this? Looking for as many ideas as possible please. @Team_English1

@Read_Learn_Lead Thank-you so much for sharing this - I have literally this week asked colleagues to do exactly this with our KS3 students!

Feeling very proud of the students at @KBuccleuchA who took part in the @YoungWritersCW Twisted Tales competition and are now published writers! Congratulations 🎉 🥳 @DinoDiSalvo @KbaKs3 #excellenceishabit

@JeevesMiss Congratulations! 🎉🙌🏻xx
