@thosethatcan Returning from Easter break, within morning briefing the HT stated that those who had not gone into school over Easter had been noted. It was an opportunity missed and ppl should be thinking carefully if this was the right journey for them. If not, they should get off the bus.

Deciding to leave a school. #IAmWriting What was the moment (or accumulation of events) that led you to decide to resign? What were the key factors involved? What 'red line' was crossed that made you take the leap?

After being mainly KS1 for the last number of years in mainstream, I now have a Y5/6 class in a PRU, all boys. What class readers/texts would you recommend?? @MrBoothY6 @EduTeachers

@Headteacherchat My friend had this when she applied for her headship. She chose a Disney toy. Think she said she explained it was like Disney team working together, each being an important element to create a magical experience

Anon post: If you were invited to an interview and asked to bring along an object that represents your leadership style, what would you choose to bring and discuss?

@secretHT1 8 teachers in school. Only 1 recieved the ballot in the post. All 7 made contact requesting a ballot. Union rep made contact on behalf of 7 teachers stating no ballot had been recieved. Still heard nothing and ballot not recieved.

NASUWT won’t be talking strike action. Despite a 90% yes vote, the threshold for turnout wasn’t met. It shows anger, it shows disgruntlement, but ultimately it’s a blow for action on pay rises Interesting to see how the other ballots turn out.

@londonteacher_ Saw this randomly and screen shot it thinking it's an idea that could be needed!

I feel like I’ve finally gotten to a place with my class where routines are embedded, behaviour management is pretty solid and the kids all know the boundaries. Only problem is… it all falls apart when I’m out of class! What can I do to help this?

If you're teaching the Stone Age this term, check out this amazing virtual tour of the caves of Lascaux. Could be used to inspire discussion about Stone Age achievements or for use in art lessons. #stoneage #history #ks2 #axial-gallery" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">archeologie.culture.gouv.fr/lascaux/en/vis…

@londonteacher_ Amazing. I bought 3 books but I haven't even read 35 pages! Nit quite the hols I planned!

Managed to read 36 books over the summer holidays 🎉 Basically 1 a day 😊

@SarahBurgeEYFS Liking the red chairs. Adds a sort of autumn tone with the wooden furniture x

Here’s to another year of red chairs ruining my vibe… 🤪😅

@jarockalol 😄

Argued with a nursing colleague today about how to best split fine keratin strands - with a scalpel or with a normal knife. The consultant interjected, telling us that we were just splitting hairs

@MaryMyatt How does this link to your curriculum intent, such as you have a deprived school and a focus is getting out and about, are their suggested opportunities for visits, trips, speakers etc. Also what suggested investigations could take place with this unit.

This is the way I currently go about planning a new curriculum unit: All my work is draft/work in progress - Unit title - Link to the NC programme of study - A note on how this unit builds on pupils' prior knowledge (if that's the case) - A note on where it might lead /1

@jarockalol Obviously an area of weakness on your application. Best to get these things sorted early on!!!

Doing several hours of elearning for my next hospital job on how to use an IT system that I’ve used for 3 years >>>

@jarockalol The real achievement for you would be whether said biro was not chewed to the core!

Really excited to share a recent work achievement of mine. Couldn’t have done it without the help and support of friends + family. I have managed to finish an entire biro without losing the pen or having it pinched

@smithsmm .

In primary we let children take off jumpers when they are hot. They are old enough and sensible enough to self regulate (we lose the odd jumper) Why do some secondary schools insist on pupils keeping blazers on. Surely the young people are old enough to know if they’re too hot.

@jarockalol Always new there was something about her.... as she chose to Iive with you!!

My gf just put crisps in the fridge in case you wanted to know what it’s like to live with a psychopath

@MissClarkeY2 🤣🤣🤣

@MissClarkeY2 As long as you order something. I once had a 1st date where I ordered first and then he said he wasnt hungry and ordered nothing! Very awkward😬😬

Friends I have a question. I’m going on a 3rd date tomorrow (I know, mental) and he’s chosen to treat me to a nice Italian restaurant. Is it acceptable to get the salad?

@MissSEYFS_Year1 Looks fantastic. Please could I have a copy too?

In science next term, we will be learning about plants. I always like to think about what these lessons will look like for those with speech and language needs. Here’s my first little booklet. Happy to share! #Year1 #Science #edutwitter

@TcbaileyTracey @PrincipledPrin4 Do you mind me asking what you went to instead?

@MrB_Y3 Yes please. That would be brilliant 👏
