I’m excited to be working directly with schools as a consultant offering CPD with a communication, language, literacy / SSP focus, training and support with 'cultural capital', curriculum development coaching. Have a look at my website and get in touch: sites.google.com/view/njgconsul…

The East of England group had a great in-person ITP yesterday @sprites2015, focusing on how to create effective routines and challenging existing thinking about behaviour systems in schools. Looking forward to more of that enthusiasm today! 🌟

“I am Training to Teach!”💡 We are thrilled to welcome our new cohort of REAch Teach trainees! With support from experienced teachers and mentors, they’ll be in the classroom from day one, working towards their PGCE with @BathSpaUni. Learn more 🔗 on.reach2.org/initial-teache…

@BillesleySchool @REAchTeachR2 We had a fantastic day with you - such a brilliant knowledge-rich experience for our trainees! We’re looking forward to the next two days and getting into classrooms.

It was lovely meeting & working with trainees from @REAchTeachR2 today, looking at the research behind behaviour approaches and seeing effective behaviour strategies being deployed. #FutureEducators

@McgrealKate @REAchTeachR2 @KirnerKim So excited!

Really excited to share a sneak peek at what we've been working on with our #itt #mentoring curriculum for September. Our mentor toolkit highlights the skills and competencies we'll be supporting mentors to develop so they can positively impact #trainee 's practice and progress

Sing, sing, sing. Sing by yourself. Sing with your family. Sing with your friends. Sing in a choir. Sing in the car. Sing in the shower. Don’t let anyone stop you from singing, or tell you that you shouldn’t sing. Your voice is yours. Use it. Enjoy it. Sing, sing, sing.

Thought-provoking points, particularly in relation to teacher development and time spent on literacy in ITT. We’re working hard to champion literacy in our REAch Teach SCITT curriculum for 2024 at @reach2trust (it helps massively that REAch2 have made Great Reading a priority!)

I’m the other Regional ITT Lead and I ADORE my job! Come and join me and @McgrealKate as we support this year’s fabulous School Direct cohort and prepare to launch our exciting @reach2trust REAch Teach SCITT programme in 2024.

@_LisaCherry Oh no… hope you’re home by now…

📚The DfE updated their Reading Framework this week to include guidance for KS2 and KS3. 📝I've made a summary of the new sections which I hope is useful. 👉You can download the PDF version here: marcrhayes.com/post/the-dfe-s… #edublogshare

@bennewmark Bill!

Sarah and Percy.. but where's..?

@RetirementTales @RetirementTale5 EVERY TIME I CROSS A ROAD… I even sing it to the dog. ❤️

Would you walk by on the other side, when someone called for aid? This week's old school hymn is Cross Over The Road, song number 70 in Come & Praise. It was written by composer Pamela Verrall and was seemingly inspired by the Parable of the Good Samaritan. A timeless message.
