@adamboxer1 I've been teaching for 27 years and Ofsted has put out countless frameworks and policies, often contradicting what they previously said. I'm starting to think that Ofsted don't actually know what good teaching is but surely that couldn't be right?? 🤔

In January 2019, Ofsted released the research underpinning the (now defunct) Education Inspection Framework. In it, they slammed "differentiation" and promoted "adaptive teaching." They cited research, which is great, and in broad thrust, I don't think what they said is wrong. BUT They did not really fully define either term. They did not provide much by way of exemplification. The example they used for "adaptive teaching" was "by providing focused support to pupils who are not making progress, is likely to improve outcomes" Ok, what does that mean? In class? Out of class? Booster or intervention sessions? LSAs? Who knows! That report was a summary, so as far as it goes that was all fine. But now we have a situation where off the back of it we have moved wholesale as an industry from a set of practices that sucked, to...what? A term which can mean absolutely anything to anyone. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6034be17…

"Oooh, I don't know what Keir stands for ?" DECENCY! "What's he doing?" #FixingBritain "Name just one thing he's done" Well, recently, he kept us out of the Iranian war! Left to Farage + Badenough, we would have joined "Anything else?" Lots...

Things I know. Keir Starmer would never take a £5m bung. Keir Starmer would never have had Parties during Covid. Keir Starmer would never crash the economy. Keir Starmer would never join an illegal war. And all of that is good enough for me. Today. And every day.

@ragefighthouse Fully agree. If you ask employers they would say that young recruits often tend to lack initiative and personal drive as a result

I’ve seen students from rote-and-drill, narrow curriculum, intervention-obsessed schools leave with grade 9 GCSEs and flounder in sixth form because they lack independence, initiative and critical thinking. What exactly are we ‘helping’ them to do?

@mrianleslie Had to be forced to watch yet another medical drama but now I'm annoyed that I have to wait until next week for the 7th episode of Season 2. The 'real time' dynamic works really well and the characters all become memorable in their own right

I’ve watched the first two eps of The Pitt. Does it get better?

@FixingEducation No, it means children stay up a bit later than they would for an 8.30 start

What do you think about a later school start?

Was waiting for Martin Keown to acknowledge that Isak has been out injured for a large part of the season when having a go at his goals tally but I suppose that would undermine his stupid verdict on him and the transfer fee #matchoftheday

@BBCMOTD Bloody hell, hope ITV don't cancel Saint & Gravesie or there'll be nothing left!

An incredible 52-year journey comes to an end. Following extensive consideration, BBC Sport has made the difficult decision to say goodbye to Football Focus at the end of this season. First broadcast in 1974, Football Focus is a testament to the brilliant team who have worked on it over the years and, of course, the audience. The programme has been a staple of the BBC’s football coverage for decades, providing fans with interviews, analysis and stories from across the game ahead of the weekend’s fixtures. But changing audience behaviours mean fans are now increasingly consuming football content in different ways and we need to respond appropriately as we face difficult decisions around how the licence fee is spent. Fans are accessing discussion, highlights, analysis and news through digital platforms and on-demand viewing and as viewing habits continue to evolve, it is right that BBC Sport adapts how it brings football coverage to the widest audiences across television, radio, online and to its extensive social platforms. BBC Sport boasts a strong football rights portfolio and is set to significantly expand its digital output this year growing content across BBC platforms, as well as a bold new slate of exclusive shows on YouTube. Featuring fresh formats, big personalities and more frequent, always-on content tailored for digital audiences, the expansion will bring fans closer to the game than ever before delivering more high-quality, accessible and engaging football coverage at scale. We will release further details on these plans in the coming months.

Starting in 2027, smartphones sold in the European Union will be required to have user-replaceable batteries designed for greater durability and more charging cycles. Manufacturers must also provide spare parts and repair manuals for at least 10 years after a model is released. This is real pressure against planned obsolescence. It should mean phones that actually last longer, cheaper fixes, and a lot less electronic waste piling up. About time.

@ragefighthouse And you end up having to put the app on your personal phone

Someone please tell me why teachers need an authenticator app to log into their work accounts? Are we the fucking Pentagon? Tech has failed and I can now do zero (0) work (other than marking!) to prepare for next week. Monday morning will be super fun. 🤷🏼‍♀️

RT @BladeoftheS:

@mrs_larocque @RE_McGEE @adamboxer1 Yep, same

@peatock @RE_McGEE @adamboxer1 The worst. When I go to model a lesson - first direction is the all extra “stuff” goes under their desk. Nothing to play with.

New Post! In many classrooms, lots of students aren’t listening, which means they aren’t learning. In this post we outline a few common mistakes and simple techniques for building classrooms where ALL students expected to participate. Please share if you can, link in reply 🙏

Trump insults Italy and Italian PM: Opposition parties rally to her support. Trump insults UK and British PM: Reform and Farage bend their knee and thank Trump. Tells you all you need to know about where their loyalties truly lie.

@RE_McGEE @adamboxer1 Or plastic bottles being crunched!

@adamboxer1 As obvious as it sounds I would add “if somebody is talking to the class you have nothing in your hands” I notice when observing other teachers how much noise can be created by tapping pens etc.

Third time lucky! Having lost my @strickomaster account & my recent new account too here is yet again my new X account. Please retweet….

@RealOlaudah Was waiting for him to say 'it was $25 million before tax and after tax it was $25 million'

Boris 'Boom Boom' Becker the ruddy 17 year old German prodigy who won the 1985 Wimbledon Men's Singles and went ahead to make an equivalent of €25 million in today's money in an illustrious career explains in this recent interview how he lost all his wealth. So sad. Please watch.

@reformexposed Ironic to associate themselves with a huge effort to get into Europe!

Look at this disgusting AI. Reform UK has generated a graphic that makes an association between D-Day and Reform UK. You don’t own D-Day, Reform. It’s a disgusting cooption of a pivotal moment in our nations’ history by this disgrace of a party.

@FootballInT80s Still hurts to watch. I figured we'd trounce Coventry after United lost to Derby at home the day before. Should have known better. Coventry were our bogey side for many years

On this day in 1997: Liverpool 1-2 Coventry City Richard Keys describes the away side’s winner and then goes through the league table.

@Ceefax303 I remember it well. I thought LFC actually had a chance of the title after that result and then we lost at home to Coventry the next day (if I remember correctly)

@UnofficialOA @TTRadioOfficial Sick of this attitude. Quite often teachers have spent valuable time doing this as well as encouraging them to do their best to no avail. Many times kids have accused staff of picking on them not realising that we're walking on eggshells around them trying not to set them off

@TTRadioOfficial You can do that with one kid in a lesson - max. A teacher cannot walk around conducting therapy sessions for 7/8 kids who are ruining the lesson. I don’t understand how anyone can think it’s even possible.

“What am I not providing right now as a teacher that they need?" Natasha Chalk says teachers need to take a minute to talk to a child in lessons to understand why they are behaving in a particular way. What do you think teachers?👇 #Behaviour #Teaching #TeacherLife #SEND #teachertok #teachersoftiktok
