Is this an example of family voting Reform have been moaning about? #GortonDentonByElection #GortonandDentonByElection

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community. Alex and tens of thousands of Minnesotans have boldly defended their neighbors against the murderous occupation of an American city by the federal government. I am enraged and heartbroken for Alex, his family, Minneapolis, and America.

12 non-negotiables when teaching tough classes (from my workshop on Motivating reluctant learners).

***MODELLING*** Fantastic work from @MissCole279 this week leading our teaching and practice CPD labs 😊 We’ve been getting granular about modelling. This simple exercise gave teachers the chance to think about checking for understanding as they model - what are the ‘do not pass go’ moments that need checking before handing over to students? 💡 #TheLongdendaleLegacy

What does great teaching look like? The Model for Great Teaching is an excellent summary of the Great Teaching Toolkit Evidence Review (Coe et al, 2020). 1 Understanding the content. 2. Creating a supportive environment. 3. Maximising opportunity to learn. 4. Activating hard thinking. @EvidenceInEdu evidencebased.education

***ACTIVE OBSERVATION*** Active observation is one of our core techniques that we use in the classroom to support responsive teaching. Our teaching assistants also do active observation using the following sheet using the assess, plan, do, review cycle. @EducEndowFoundn @AlexJQuigley #TheLongdendaleLegacy

Here’s a copy of our Year 6 Grammar and Maths Knowledge Organisers for anyone who wants them. There’s also some blank versions that we find useful for revision. drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

Want to teach a word? Here's one way:

Adaptive teaching = high quality teaching Often good teachers don’t realise what they are actually doing to adapt to learners’ needs; it’s done on autopilot. Breaking down the granular detail of practice&being able to verbalise WHY it works for each learner is so valuable.

Thinking about how best to support disadvantaged pupils… again, a piece of work in progress.

"Our members are prepared to take further industrial action to ensure teachers and our schools get the fair deal they deserve, but only if you give them no choice. I am calling on you to intervene urgently to ensure that teachers in England receive a fully funded above-inflation pay rise for 2024/25, and that you also ensure there is further funding to provide improved levels of staffing." #InvestInEducation Read our letter to Gillian Keegan here👉 neu.org.uk/latest/library…

@OctopusEnergy @pjanthony40 Yes! Very bad.. and about £300 has disappeared from the credit i had with shell? 🤔

@pjanthony40 Hi Paul, I'm keen to take a closer look at what happened with those emails. Please drop me a DM with your details & I'll be in touch shortly to investigate. twitter.com/messages/compo…

@OctopusEnergy I’ve sent you two emails now. Was very happy with Shell, but in the changeover to Octopus it looks like you’re now billing me based on estimated readings and my billing has nearly doubled. Can someone review and come back to me?

@zenziana Yes! Very bad.. and about £300 has disappeared from the credit i had with shell? 🤔
