Lighting up Learning

#Earth needs us!

Inspiring the next generation of scientists and entrepreneurs, Science Creates Outreach has developed an immersive, curriculum-linked programme that gives young people a real-world, behind-the-scenes experience of life as a #scientist.

Ever since my partner (a secondary ECT mentor) finished @Josh_CPD's book 'Responsive Coaching', she has told me on pretty much a daily basis how helpful it has been to her. I haven't read it (yet!), but apparently it is accessible, practical and beautifully written. 🔥🔥🔥

Star* Scheme have won Silver at the Smiley Charity Film Awards in #London tonight! Having started with one club in 2021 to 104 clubs engaged today, mitigating adversity in childhood through proverse grassroots rugby experiences. We're so proud to be part of this.

We’re really looking forward to the release of this important book from @clpe1 #ReflectingRealities @ClaireRidsdale @JacobsEducation @Ben_3eyes @RaeSnape @LisaDadds

It's so interesting how many schools continue to blur and confuse mapping content (what teachers teach) with sequencing knowledge (what young people learn). The focus needs to be on a connected #curriculum & the why and how we teach, so young people know more (what) OVER TIME.

I’m devastated @forestimaginatn💚 has not been granted ACE funding @ace_national so if any of you lovely people are interested in saving the forest please dm. It’s beautiful, life changing work, finding imaginative solutions to the ecological emergency #arts #biodiversity 💚🌳🌈

Ofsted have released their English subject report. Some brief thoughts on my first impressions... #main-findings" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gov.uk/government/pub…

Have you seen this incredible book @ClaireRidsdale? A visually striking celebration of the remarkable achievements made in medical engineering and a glimpse of what the future might hold. A very special non-fiction book from @BigPicturePress.

Our English specialist, Amy, is trying hard to curb her book buying but she couldn’t resist adding this one to her collection… The Fossil Hunter by @KaKatewinter is simply stunning.

Enquiry everywhere at @thewealdcofe. Our two-day review visit is seeking out the bright spots and shining the light in dark corners to develop this enquiry-led #curriculum even further. From working walls to S-Plans, newsletters to pupil voice, 'being not doing' is everywhere.

Interesting read for all our #EYFS #teachers and #leaders earlyyears.blog.gov.uk/2024/02/29/my-…

A call for support. Our CEO, Nicholas, is in a recent film about starscheme.co.uk who aim to mitigate adversity in childhood through sports... and the most recent film is nominated for an award. Please help to get the word out and vote. smileycharityfilmawards.com/films/star-sch…

Worth a read when thinking about your own reading habits in schools.

Wiltshire Week and visiting schools to support their curriculum development. Focus on being a #geographer, #environmentalist, learning with real purpose and keeping it local. Thank you @GreentreesPS and @WinterslowSch for two productive days. Two more to go @PickwickTrust .

Pleased to announce our CEO, Dr. Nicholas Garrick, has a chapter in a new book published in the coming months, focused on #constructivist #groundedtheory.

Exciting new project emerging with @WakeTheTiger_ Watch. This. Space. #curriculum #creativity #imagination #authors #scientists #artists #Engineers #mycologists #edutwitter

Brilliant #personaldevelopment session with @ScienceCreates team. Using @EISAFCommunity Packtypes, we looked at ourselves, how we think we present and how our future selves might be. Discussions, as always, were fantastic, and the pause - a moment to just think - impactful.

This really made our day…
