@secretHT1 Teaching must be one of the only jobs that you steal stuff from home to take to work.

Just realized that the text of my second inaugural lecture (at the Institute of Education, 2007)—Assessment for Learning: Why, what and how—is no longer being sold by UCL Press, so the copyright reverts to me, and I can make it open access, so here it is: bit.ly/AfLWWH.

Still a couple of days to win a copy of my latest book all about Adaptive Teaching. 🔥 off the press. Retweet and follow by end of 28th Feb! #adaptive teaching #cpd

@engteacherabro2 ..."and I'll have the narrow goose, gan's feed and fried corn please."

One thing I'm not good at is eating out in my local area - don't speak Vietnamese, not good with chopsticks - it's all too much. So 2025 let's make it a challenge. Then I translate the menu and I'm literally dying 🤣🤣

In 2025, if you like an artists work online, share it. 👍 I see AI generated art getting thousands of views, while hard-working creatives go unnoticed. Artists don't exist in a vacuum, creative people need the oxygen of support to find their audience . . . darrellwakelam.com

@RetirementTales With nativities, choir rehearsals (even though McCartney reckons they've been learning the words all year long), performances, class parties, the staff do and all other things that make Christmas time in school fantastic, I missed yesterday. Forgot what day it was 😤

Today's the day. It's the 100th 🙂 but last 😔 edition of the Friday Virtual Pub Lunch. Join us, for old times' sake...

1/3 Some of you know that our world changed when our little girl was diagnosed with Stargardt's, an incurable and degenerative eye condition. She's now battling vision loss and extreme light sensitivity, hence the sunglasses she often wears.

@MrBoothY6 D) Linnear equation

Chen is thinking of a number. It's bigger than a breadstick but younger than his teeth. If Chen's number is an acute angle, then which bag does the maths test go in and what label do you put on it?

I haven’t had a good month, money-wise,at TT so far - I haven’t made the rent yet ( let’s skip over the fact I haven’t had a wage for five years 😆- I know, it’s my bad!) but if you could retweet my online shop I’d be every so grateful! I’ll link it in the comments. Thank you! 🙏🏻

@RetirementTales Classic.

My song choice this week is Caravan of Love by The Housemartins.

It's been a week of difficult and dark news. We'd like to offer a little light. At tomorrow's Virtual Pub Lunch, the jukebox will be titled "The Lighthouse". We're looking for songs which lift you up, which brighten your day and offer joy and hope. Order here: 🥛🍽🎵 ⬇️

@RetirementTales Reminds me of my life in Cornwall: happy and sad times ❤️

An old hymn for today: "For Those in Peril on the Sea" Hope, not hate Support, not punishment Compassion, not judgement Protection, not danger

@PaulGarvey4 @chrisdysonHT This popped up, and is still spot on in some schools.

@chrisdysonHT TY!! But very much present! 😀

@CrowtherSim Wait until you start having two breakfasts...

My calf muscles and feet seem to be getting bigger in my old age. Is that a thing?? I'm like some sort of giant Bilbo Baggins.

@Headteacherchat Personally, I've always gone with face-to face to express interest and signal intentions. You'll be able to gauge the HT's reaction too.

Should I express my interest to my headteacher, and if so, what's the best approach? A brief in-person chat at school, or a prior message to signal my interest before discussion?

Anon post: Hello! Facing a career dilemma and hoping for advice. I'm a current AHT, and the DHT role at my school has opened as a direct replacement. I meet all the essential criteria.

@TheStudentLeads This is the inspiration I'm looking for! Khor Fakkan?

I’ve just been diving with this guy 🦈❤️👏 #Fujairah #UAE

@Headteacherchat Moved to UAE in 2022 with two children (7 and 11). A brilliant move and one we should have made sooner. Initial transition can be longwinded - attesting documents, etc., but well worth it. Happy for DM.

Anonymous post: I'm considering relocating abroad, possibly to Dubai, following a difficult Ofsted inspection. It seems impossible to continue teaching in the UK. Has anyone moved with their children and can offer insights?

@MrWithersKS1 😮

How long have you been teaching? 🤷🏻‍♂️

@ed_objective Beautiful Godrevy ❤️
