@KTG_1990 @adamboxer1 If I'm going to be coached I want direct instruction from someone who knows what they're talking about. Not needing expertise is a bit red flag for me.

Physics teacher. Happy to share science resources. Liberal & leftwing, although pretty conservative on school behaviour and traditional teaching & learning.

My current update on this:
Metacognition: still low
Dual coding: dead
Retrieval practice: too difficult for many to approach
Curriculum: quiet
Literacy: quietening down
Oracy: on the up (again)
Instructional coaching: huge
Adaptive teaching: huge
AI: huge

Edufashion update: Metacognition: seems to have died down Dual coding: still going strong, lots of icons Retrieval practice: still going strong, looks like implementation is improving Curriculum: tons of bad ideas floating around New kid on the block: instructional coaching

@Greangrass333 @TruthFairy131 What I love is when people point out that they're capitalist countries, but if you want to enact any of their policies they'll scream "communism".
English
@TvboyMister @TruthFairy131 By taking money we mean lobbying government to stifle unions and allow wages to be suppressed. It's happened to the point that the economy as a whole is suffering as money in billionaire bank accounts does not end up in the economy nor invested in much productive.

@Miss_Snuffy @Trivium21c The dark skinned elves just make me think of colonisation and slavery ... Poor tropical born elves taken to the North Pole to forcibly make toys for white children's Christmas.
Who knows... Perhaps there's a niche for elves of colour and this is the free market filling demand
English
@Trivium21c Yes and he has always been depicted as a white elf. Because he is made in the image of the country that sells him.
Funny how we never saw brown elves in the 1990s.
All part of the culture shift. If you can’t see that, well, maybe one day you will.
English
The Christmas Elf isn’t ‘white’ the Christmas Elf is a figment of imagination not a pigment
Katharine Birbalsingh@Miss_Snuffy
What’s wrong with white people? Why do they hate themselves so much? DEI makes them feel warm inside? Jeez. 🙄
English
@RealMonyMonz @tombennett71 Good. Correcting misbehaviour and understand good behaviour is a major need that needs to be met.
Misbehaviour is not usually about unmet needs, just very correlated.
English
Tackling the behaviour crisis in Scottish schools by focussing on the shape of the school day is a spectacular way to miss the point. Children mess about when we let them, when the boundaries are vague or ambiguous, and where consequences are trivial. This is like trying to lose weight by changing the colour of your plate.
English
@RealMonyMonz @tombennett71 So they are misbehaving?
You can empathise and look beyond the behaviour and still address, and not tolerate, the behaviour. Not to do so is called enabling. It's harmful for the other students and the student that is enabled to think that it's ok to act like that.
English
@RealMonyMonz @tombennett71 That's absolute stupid nonsense. When have the needs of children ever been truly met?
That does not explain the level of poor behaviour in Scotland or English and Welsh schools. Look at a rural school in south east Asia and ask if their needs are met and how behaviour compares.
English
@Miss_Snuffy At best such things will act as a multiplier.
Without implementing discipline that include the real threat of losing a school place, there is nothing to multiply.
Zero x any number = 0
English
Are all Education Secretaries brain dead??

@johnstuart55520 @tombennett71 It's been my experience only a small (influential) minority would do what they do in school in the real world. That's because it's just not normal and often just wouldn't be tolerated like it is in school.
English
@tombennett71 I think you will find that children are messing about before they even enter the playground and classroom,the lack of respect shown by pupils and parents is a major society issue
English
@FrankFlobs65902 @Miss_Snuffy Would say a leader in the most traditional sense... Only in modern times has the pope not influenced other European rulers directly.
English
@Miss_Snuffy I suppose the Pope is a "European leader", but not in the traditional sense. It's on him to do something.
English
Anyone who can run a classroom knows that if the naughty kids are allowed to get away with poor behaviour, the bad behaviour spreads to other kids and worsens.
Eventually the class becomes ungovernable.
Perhaps European leaders might take note
English
@norchcity You'll have to give an example.
Quote tweet.
Name and shame. 😂
English
@Miss_Snuffy She is the one being pressured to resign over her handling of the grooming gangs investigation by the victims.
Meanwhile Michaela is an inner London school considered outstanding in safeguarding...
English
Jess Phillips as Shadow Minister, chose to pick on a headteacher and encourage her huge following to believe I was a safeguarding concern.
Why?
I had tweeted a malfunctioning gif about Tina Turner.
She has no credibility and enjoys trying to ruin people’s lives.
Be wary.
English
@support407 @Miss_Snuffy This tweet is backed up by ZERO evidence. And if I'm wrong on that I'll gladly look into whatever you can post.
English
@Miss_Snuffy Safeguarding concerns? You are a control freak with power over minors - so there is that. Your neo-Victorian approach to life long learning may appear successful on the surface - but don't scratch too deeply.
English
@JeremyTate41 I'm not sure they do. In the UK it's a topic aimed at children around 7-8 yo as they explore ancient history.
English
Why do students learn so much about the Egyptian pyramids and almost nothing about the great cathedrals that took far longer to build and were infinitely more complex?
This one took more than 600 years to build.
English
@norchcity No. I think the system is so broken that the only natural way to think for those that want genuine change is to push boundaries to the extreme to counteract the bullshit norm.
English
@greeborunner @TyburnFleet I think we should compare schools that use and don't use isolation by filming the antics and showing the public what British school children get up to in some schools. The problem is that poor parents who've raised out of control kids control the narrative.
English
@mprez22la @TyburnFleet And this is where we are then hit with shouts of too many suspensions/ too much isolation.
English
Big front page stories about 1 in 12 pupils in isolation. Suspensions are viewed with horror. I’m not quite sure how schools are supposed to address issues with poor behaviour if neither option can be available.
English
@StevenNekhaila @thedebralea This woman Alexandria is very beautiful. Where in Egypt was this taken?
English
@JamesAFurey Good luck.
I look forward to hearing how you deal with standing up to the pressure faced by administration you've described having to deal with. I hope you can and if so I hope your methods spread.
English
Two more classes and an internship to go, then I’ll be a certified principal. Still rocking that 4.0.
English
@greeborunner @TyburnFleet Then they should be sent home and come back to isolation the next day along with several hours of detention. Refusing to comply with the consequence should be a fast track to suspension and permanent exclusion.
English
@TyburnFleet It depended on setting and culture. I've also seen kids kick off about being embarrassed and refusing to go
