@SizzlesMum @JohnBaldLangLit Indeed, I know of TAs who have been on the edge after months of being screamed at, kicked, spat at, etc.

@JohnBaldLangLit @PieCorbett Employer's Duty of Care responsibility. Training on safe emergency physical handling and de-escalation strategies are not enough. The emotional toll can be huge!

"I’m SEN TA in a primary school, working one to one. This is my first time in this role and I am really enjoying it, however, the child can be violent and this week it has been really hard going! Yesterday I ended up at urgent care with a fractured knuckle!
Bruises and bones heal, but I’m struggling with the emotional side of it! I feel like I’m in a weird toxic relationship that I’m paid to stay in!
Any tips on how to manage emotional stress and mental well being?!" @bphillipsonMP @TomRees_77

I think @JonHaidt has had more positive impact than any other writer on public policy in the 21st century, and perhaps much longer than that.

Two years ago, almost 0 schools were interested in even considering going phone free. Now, whole school systems are phone free. The rest are scrambling to get on board We owe @JonHaidt a tremendous debt of gratitude. What he achieved - this quickly - is almost unimaginable.

Without @JonHaidt we would be in a much darker place. Schools should be grateful that he helped articulate a clear sense of what has gone wrong and what we need to do to turn the tide. Much work to do still.

The Anxious Generation was published two years ago today, in a very different world. Back then, the most common objection I got was resignation: "The train has left the station." "You can't put toothpaste back in the tube." "It's how the kids connect today." Today, the world looks very different. It turns out that if our kids were all on a train and we learned it was heading toward a collapsed bridge, we'd find a way to stop it and bring them safely back to the station. That’s what’s happening now. After the historic verdicts in Los Angeles and New Mexico, today is a great day to reflect on the capacity of people in democratic societies to take action, even when opposing some of the most powerful corporations in history. We're getting access to the courts. We're getting phone-free schools. We're seeing whole neighborhoods letting kids out to play, unsupervised, which is what we older folk all remember as the best part of childhood. So I want to recognize: --The mothers (and, right behind them, fathers) who rose up by the millions and powered the movement. --The farsighted governors and legislators in red states and blue states who have been innovating on policy solutions. --The leaders of a dozen of nations, who are raising the age to 16 for opening social media accounts (with a special shoutout to Australia, for going first). --The teachers and school administrators who had their classrooms disrupted for 15 years, and who are now eager to think through new solutions as screens have taken over and obstructed learning. --The grassroots organizations who have been dedicating their efforts to advocate for all of the above in their local communities. --The millions of members of Gen Z who have been rising up, demanding agency over how they spend their lives in the digital era, and finding better ways to connect in real life. And one final group: the survivor parents--the ones you saw in those pictures of people embracing on the front steps of the LA courthouse. I have met many over the years. I am in awe of their courage and tenacity, their willingness to tell their stories of loss, over and over again, to different audiences, in the hope that no other parent would have to endure what they have endured. At long last, juries and legislatures are hearing you, and are acting. Together, we are calling the train back to the station. Together, we are rolling back the phone based childhood and reclaiming life in the real world. The work continues. If you’re not already involved, join us: anxiousgeneration.com/join

@SeatableUK @st_palladius_pr @DavidBowieReal Related to this. Take a poem and cut it up. The class then have to rearrange the lines to make their own version.
English
@st_palladius_pr @DavidBowieReal @PieCorbett Love this! Such a creative way to spark imagination - and what a treat for P3/4 to experiment with a technique Bowie himself used. The poems look fantastic and the joy of writing really shines through 🎨✨ #poetry #t4w

Mrs Bhela had a treat today by going into P3/4. We used the 'cut up technique' to create poems. This was famously used by David Bowie to create songs. The results were great! @DavidBowieReal #poetry #t4w @piecorbett

@literacytutor5 We all do invented spelling when we dowel words that we are not sure about…
English
Anna Geiger explains the value in allowing ‘invented spelling’ to be part of the instructional landscape as a means of creating a window into children’s understanding of the English language and how it is constructed.

@margaretmckeow2 My mistake - we recommend your vocabulary book at all our conferences and training. Big fan. Talk for Writing.
English
That all sounds good. But you are having a different conversation. This one had focused on preteaching words right before reading a text.
Pie Corbett@PieCorbett
@margaretmckeow2 It does not have to brief - it can be in-depth experience of the word, eg taking 4 yr olds to a farm to see lambs before reading, rereading and discussing a book about farming …. In the classroom these things need to be flexible.

@MmeLockhartLDS Basic work - from the start, work from sound to print - through spelling into reading. If they can read it, check they can spell it.

A report by The Sutton Trust says the top 500 performing state schools discourage pupils with SEND - they admit half as many disadvantaged pupils as the average comprehensive. This means 36% of these schools fail to reflect the communities they serve.

@PieCorbett @Talk4Writing is powerful because of its ability to seamlessly infuse with reading and other curriculum areas.

Opening Doors by @BobCox_SFE provides our children with thoughtful and powerful poetry rooted in themes of justice and freedom. Inspired by Paul Laurence Dunbar, Y6 produced their own poems.
