Day 2 at @ALP_Trust and seeing both Bothall and Central Upper sites. What amazing schools, totally worthy of their Outstandings due to the stunning difference they are making to their communities. Exceptional education. #outstandingschools

The amazing Ashington Learning Partnership @ALP_Trust are always striving to be even better. A great day working on the values that will underpin the next stage of their school's, already outstanding, journey. #outstandingschools

Such a great day! @SoniaG_HeadsUp

Thank you so much to Bothal Primary School @ALP_Trust for delivering a fantastic network session focusing on ‘Elevating EYFS practices through the underpinning of clarity, routines, expectations and persistence’.

@RoseVAlexander So interesting!

Very interesting…@CClarkALP worth a read

I'm 36. Stress controlled me for years so I turned to neuroscience. After 1200+ hours studying elite athletes, CEOs & psychologists, my toolkit is now full of powerful neuro-hacks. Here are the top 7 that will change your life:

It’s thank you time! Thank you to Gillian and the Early Years team at @CroftwayPrimary for a fantastic early literacy network session. Thank you to Catherine and the Early Years teams at @ALP_Trust and Jonathan Brown for a brilliant CPD session!

I'm proud to announce that my new book Responsive Coaching is out now 💥 It's the product of 10+ years coaching, 3 years writing, and a year testing in school, and aims to help coaches to be as impactful and useful as possible 💪

Thank you to our strategic partners @ALP_Trust for a thought provoking session on the importance of prosody. It highlighted how lullabies, songs, rhymes and stories alongside direct human adult interaction are vitally important in developing children's fluency in language.

@RoseVAlexander @teacherhead Absolutely!

@teacherhead @CClarkALP I feel you’ll appreciate this as much as I did…

How teacher behaviours during CPD echo student behaviours during lessons. teacherhead.com/2019/06/29/how…

@LeadLearningUK @CClarkALP This looks good!

I go to a lot of schools, and everyone is focusing on metacognition or dual coding or disciplinary this or curriculum intent that. Then I go into lessons, and teachers are asking questions and students are calling out answers or tchrs are picking ones with hands up. Fix that. >

@MrALSpence @teach_smith @RoseVAlexander @readwithMissB Clever! 🤩

@teach_smith @CClarkALP @RoseVAlexander @readwithMissB game changer

rewordify.com is an excellent website: copy and paste any text & it will identify the tier two vocabulary. From this, the site can generate a glossary, multiple choice quizzes & more. For example: dropbox.com/s/43j5ar6o2ih0…

@RoseVAlexander @Mr_AlmondED We delayed the intervention and did it in Y1 due to covid /staffing. Had a positive impact although definitely pitched better for Reception. Biggest barrier is staffing / time allocation but we saw great results for the pupils targeted.

@Mr_AlmondED @CClarkALP?

Does anyone have experience of rolling out the Nuffield Early Language Intervention?

@MrALSpence @ClareCampbell7 Love it!

@ClareCampbell7 @CClarkALP long term goals 🥰

Before and after year 4

@MrALSpence 😂😂😂

@CClarkALP Yes but I didn’t want to tag without consent! 😂

Colleague and I decided this week I was very much “the NQT of the SLT”… I’m irrationally excited at interviewing for midday supervisors, volunteer to write every letter, and eager to play with the timetable. 💫
