@marcmaths Perhaps one day I will write a piece amd think more deeply about this to articulate my thinking more clearly... for now it's just a pondering!

@marcmaths I used '3D' figuratively to describe approaching a lesson holistically and considering it more deeply than a fixed series of events to follow which means the teacher can be more agile to respond to student need/understanding/curiosity. Nothing to do with Euclidean space!

I will die on this hill. IWBs were one of the most costly scandals ever in education. So ubiquitous now we can barely admit that their utility is hugely outweighed by the cost and complexity for most.
Adam Boxer@adamboxer1
@mikercameron @StuartLock IWBs are a massive waste of money. Can achieve better results by far with much less outlay.

@marcmaths @tombennett71 My observation is that PPT centric planning and delivery can be reductive and limit this flexibility, encouraging teachers to think in a pre-formed linear way. I'm not sure if I have explained my thinking any more clearly there?
English
@marcmaths @tombennett71 I use that term to describe a way of thinking of a lesson conceptually particularly when devising it but also when delivering. When I trained to teach I was taught a way of considering a lesson that was more malleable and responsive...

PRANA ~ A 7 DAY YOGA JOURNEY
Begins tomorrow Jan 1st.
YOUR TASK, should you choose, is to TAG someone and invite them on the week long journey. 🐍
We are working with a prana focus in this series and I’m stoked!
Find it on @YouTube #yogawithadriene

@miss_mcinerney Where are the pigs in blankets?! I'm assuming this is an absolute given!?

The most important thing here is that… the Yorkshire Pudding deniers are in the minority!!

@LeatherbarrMr @maximjkelly @chrisdysonHT Very similar picture when I visited Denmark. When I asked if they are worried students would leave, they said, 'why would they want to go?' and when asked about unwanted outsiders, they were confused about who would want to come into a school apart from students & their families!

Anyone know of any schools with a public right of way through school grounds? Are there any? And how is it managed alongside site security and safeguarding of pupils? RTs welcome.

@bennewmark I've used the whole 'if you grow up to work in a bank etc.' uniform justification to students, then gone into NatWest and those not working from home are in polo shirts, jeans and trainers!
English
@BarryNSmith79 @oldandrewuk I do too (often these piece!) but tbh I do find it quite impractical. Especially in summer.
English
Prediction.
In ten years time almost all school uniforms will be something like polo shirts and sweatshirts with school logo, black trousers and dark shoes or trainers.
We'll mostly think it's good thing and we'll find it hard to believe how things were.

@Johnfinney8 lots of this reminded me of the drum you bang for music education!

"there are some things that are common to all forms of teaching, but I think we’ve reached a stage where the things that make individual subjects different are being swamped by the current orthodoxies" @BobEaglestone talks to @Helen_Amass tes.com/magazine/teach…

Many will say this on here this weekend.
Music is central to this weekend and therefore must be central in our schools.
Keep music alive for our young people.
Support music education with more central government funding.

The coronation chair, complete with graffiti from Westminster school boys during the 18th and 19th centuries...a sweet little reminder for us that students have always been mischievous and found ways to make their mark! 😆

@bennewmark @Doug_Lemov It's bread and butter for music teachers, but you're quite right - full of JOY (sung or spoken 😏). We've started using it in staff CPD too as a way of recalling behaviour curriculum shared vocab. That's definitely a moment for 'know it's cheesy but you love it!'
English
@Doug_Lemov Works with older groups as well if you're a bit knowing. As in "yeah y11 I know it's cheesy but you know you love it."
English
@Doug_Lemov Exactly same. It's a bit corny. But then I remember it isn't about me. It's good for kids. It's safe to speak when everyone does. And then they've broken a wall and they're invested. Ratio goes right up.

Agree the @Andy__Buck books but also sign up to @LshipMatters website as the interactive resources are fantastic
Clementine Stewart@CStewart_CS
@Mr_Dteacher @Newheadteacher @Headteacherchat Congratulations!!! Read leadership matters by @Andy__Buck , wholesome leadership from @TomRees_77 and radical Candor from @kimballscott for starters! Get a mentor and embrace all that this new role has to offer as it’s the most amazing job in the world! Good luck ❤️

@N8Holder Ksink ksink! My favourite onomatopoeic instrument (well, instrument accessory I suppose)
English
Feeling generous... giving away 1 copy of "Where Are All The Instruments? West Africa" to someone who can name an instrument from West Africa not called a djembe, kora or talking drum #giveaway. I'll select a person at random at 7pm today 🙌🏾

@rjmlewis @CambsCreate @Coleridge_Edu @United_Music1 @UnitedLearning They're pretty lucky kids too may I say! What fantastic musical energy and leadership from their teacher! Experiences they will never forget 👏👏👏👏
English
This lot! That is all! I’m the luckiest teacher - they’re the best kids. We performed at the #BiEawards2022 tonight, collected the #BestTeam award & then had such fun making music in the Leeds community. #CarnivalCrew @CambsCreate @Coleridge_Edu @United_Music1 @UnitedLearning

@CambsCreate you were fantastic in Leeds this eve! We were meant to be at the Alanis concert but it was cancelled and we got to see you instead...great work!

@ErChilvers This is something I use when I do my vocal training for teachers youtu.be/0cBpIhqOBU0 but I would definitely echo other people saying to seek lessons from a voice coach. We are professional vocalists!

Does anyway have any voice care tips for primary teachers especially in EYFS as I seem to be really struggling with mine at the moment? It was nearly gone before half term, it came back, two days back into teaching and it's going again. #ECT

@Johnfinney8 @MrMountstevens I really enjoyed reading this. Thank you @Johnfinney8 for signposting it
English
@MrMountstevens Excellent post. BTW We value knowledge by acquaintance (akin to knowing a person) highly within music education.
English
This has masterfully articulated my issue with Ofsted's overly simplistic 'change in the long term memory' definition of learning. So refreshing to see a history teacher writing about curriculum in a way that makes sense to me as a music specialist, too.👏👏
