Epic, the Netflix for books. A great app to encourage reading. #acuedu_p

***NOT BREAKING NEWS*** Teachers have to take an interest in ALL kids. Not just the “good” kids. Not just the ones who never get in trouble. Not just the one who make good grades. ALL kids. Kids know when you don’t. They feel it. Never make a kid feel like that. @SteeleThoughts

Noise meter apps are an effective and fun behaviour management tool in the classroom. #acuedu_p

Whole books are important...not extracts, not chapters, whole books. The best children’s books are laced with clues about the whole story. They drop nuggets that become moments of realisation later on. For children to be truly captured by books we have to share the whole thing...

This is the culminating activity for a Yr4 project on the first voyage of Captain James Cook in 1768 using a @Sphero. Students spent several weeks researching the journey and his achievements. This was a great way to finish of the unit of work. @SpheroEdu

Homework is perhaps one of the most misused strategies in K–12 classrooms; it is too often assigned as a matter of routine. Here are strategies to assign it purposefully. #NASOT

Love this idea! It can be altered for other KLAs such as multiplication in maths. #workthosegrossmotorskills #acuedu_p

Story games are a great way to improve your young child's comprehension and make reading fun. We have free games on our website: literacytrust.org.uk/resources/seve…

Whenever I discuss the need for change in our education system, I'm reminded of these words; 'The world as we have created it, is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.' - Albert Einstein

My ES1 students love this alternative hands-on activity for practising letter formation. Students just shake the tray after each use, and using a deep tray helps make less of a mess #acuedu_p

What a great activity for visual and kinaesthetic learners to practice their multiplication facts #acuedu_p

Here’s an ingenious idea via @ArnoldLodgeNews - making stapled pockets for test papers to keep them with books and record bits of feedback.
