Mr Humanities

💥WHAT A DAY💥 🔵 Impact and sustainability @tombennett71 🔵 Youth Justice System @charlie_taylor6 🔵 Data analysis @NatCen 🔵 Superb hosting @MrsGizzyB 🔵 Fantastic organisation @EDTvoice 🔵 Sucess of #BehaviourHibs @educationgovuk Huge thank you to all lead schools too!

@MzBelindaW @missdcox Yellow are the worst!

@missdcox Please, why is there often an orange board pen in the 6-pack

Whether you have tables in rows, groups or singles, put something on your board & go and sit on every chair Can you read the text? Are there obstructions? Are there distractors? If you’re expecting students to read/see from a board you need to check that it’s actually visible

@KTG_1990 @RogersHistory Her teachers are “figuring out how to manage her”… but using the behaviour system and issuing. Sanctions as appropriate. 😂

@RogersHistory Blatant failure of parenting. If you accept your child being rude to people, you're probably a pretty unpleasant person yourself

This is what teachers are up against.

Separately, previous analysis by the EDT showed that: 50% of graduated schools have now been inspected by Ofsted. Of this number (167): -58% were judged ‘Requires Improvement’ prior to the Behaviour Hubs programme, -28% ‘Good’ -10% ‘Inadequate’. Post-graduation, of the 167 schools inspected: -62% are now ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ -77% of schools have a Behaviour & Attitudes judgement of ‘Good’ All credit to the lead and partner schools and all their staff for making this happen. And thank you to the advisors and the delivery team for being brilliant.

Excellent trip to Manchester Cathedral and the British Muslim Heritage Centre with Year 10 today!

@KTG_1990 I think the discussion around knowledge based curriculums is interesting. I bang the drum about the dangerous mutation of direct instruction, which can lead to heavily didactic lessons, without opportunities for questioning, for pupils to apply knowledge or assessment.

🚨New Blog Post🚨 Have we gone too far down the knowledge rabbit hole? Are we spending enough time on application? Have we lost the "You Do" in "I Do, We Do, You Do"? Some reflections and practical solutions. kylegrahameducation.wordpress.com/2024/11/09/hav…

@_PEKohler @pauldixtweets @LukeTheNuke180 @HWT_PE @PE_DTA this is what we need!

First darts after school club tonight!!! HUGE success 🎯 Do we have the next @LukeTheNuke180 !?!? @HWT_PE

@InclusionKS3 Love I think is a strong word. Cringe, laugh may be more appropriate.

@mrhumanities52 I love that you use this! I’m sure your young people love getting these cards with your face on. 🙂

Next Level November 100% cards stamped with my face thanks to @InclusionKS3 last Christmas present!

More fireworks at Mayfield Park tonight. Always great bumping into colleagues, pupils and previous pupils alike!

Sat in the garden with my eldest, who is dressed as the Red Power Ranger, cuddled up under blankets watching the neighbourhood fireworks 🎆

This is a great conversation between @MrZachG @Doug_Lemov @PepsMccrea @Josh_CPD discussing rehearsal, the role of video in teacher education and how routines build belonging for students and teachers (and lots more!) 👇 pca.st/episode/846933…

@RSwithMissL Two really enjoyable listens for me were Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall and Diary of a CEO by Steven Bartlett.

Amazing walk near Windermere this weekend. Great to get out and about to end half term.

Great half term round of golf at Lancaster Golf Club!

First day of half term and my oldest made some strong choices to accompany his Greggs sausage roll at the park!

“If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same”. Blown away by the resilience and determination of Sir Chris Hoy this morning. Shortly after being told that he has between 2-4 years to live because of his terminal cancer… his lovely wife, Sarra, was diagnosed with MS. The man remains an incredible inspiration. Sending love to the whole family.
