Let's remember. There was nothing democratic about the EU referendum, or Brexit. Thank you.

If you're a midlands based English teacher this might be the best decision you ever make. Immaculate behaviour. Incredible curriculum. High performance department. You would - however - have to work with me. DM for details and please share! mynewterm.com/jobs/138290/...

Sorry for the poor image, but we need to remember this every time Farage gets all uppity.

The local elections in the UK have provided an interesting reflection on the understanding of, and the state of, democracy in the UK. Shame our political class have no interest in actually having a democratic UK.

@privateeyenews.bsky.social question for the editor. Was the council election results in England a secret ploy by Private Eye to boost readership figures? I think we should be told. Looks like your council investihative reporters will have years of work now!

Would you like to work in a Trust where Principals are equal partners in leading the MAT? Where Principals are trusted, respected & have autonomy? Where we all work together for the greater good? We’re recruiting now for a Principal at one of our primary schools. Come join us!

Last shout for this webinar on self-regulation which I'm running tomorrow. Pay what you can to attend. #EduSky www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-ultima...

Well happy. My Head has told me to lead our collective worsbip on David Attenborough. Love it 😁

It’s astounding that Zelensky survived a full-scale war without ever having a ballroom.

On the one hand, we cannot have a society where protest and free speech are curtailed. But we also have to understand that it's a responsibility that needs to be used with care. Somewhere along the line, ee forgot that.

Day 1 of this today. I’m leading this training again next year for several English hubs, MATs and LAs.

Make your own music. 🎶

I'm running this pay what you can webinar next week. Explore a different way of thinking about behaviour. Very grateful for any shares. Thank you! ⬇️ www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1985807984...

What happens when you miss PPA? In a busy, challening school, if you miss PPA you lose it. This has a knock on effect, because you get to Friday, feel too exhausted, do the family thing Saturday, then wake up with that cold emptiness and pressure on Sunday.

This. Keep happy and Safe, peoples.

Decided the English education system is a completely flawed attempt to create Plato's Republic in real life.

I've done this, well worth the time.

14 pages into Every Child Acheving and Thriving, and my cynicism is aleady in the red zone.

AI cannot, and should never, replace teaching with teachers.

Dubai French Toast at Fourwards restaurant near where I live. This could be my entire weekly calorie allowance.

www.theguardian.com/education/20... this is a real worry, but it's still a very blinkered view that seeks blame rather than understanding - and therefore solutions.

Very lucky to be given a proof of “The Thing About Giants” by #ChristopherGalvin. It’s a fantastic tale that switches everything we know about Giants and Humans. It’s epic in every way. At its core is a brilliant friendship between human and giant. Great stuff @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social

2 chapters in, good so far. Taking this one slowly, rather than my normal, academic-fuelled speed read!

This holiday I will be mostly learning about trauma informed practice. Gonna need biscuits.

I've always struggled to fit in. I thought teaching might be it, or at least it for long enough for fitting in not to matter anymore. However, that appears not to be the case. Might be back to the drawing board. I think I need a job that pays me to stay away from everyone. And maybe read books.

The LA have put up a post giving notice schools may be closed due to strike action. I’m now explaining this to various “9-3 part time teachers” comments.

I take it no one told Trump what happens when fanatics are demanded to give an unconditional surrender?

*sigh* lots of people going to @researchedbrum.bsky.social but not me 😪 hope everyone has a good time.

Spoke to a former Special School head about the concept of hybrid schools. She thinks it might have legs.

Typical. Sick as a pig today.

At home? I've never liked the idea of school going home. At the very least, it just magnifies inequities and inequalities in learning.

Join this upcoming webinar to explore the work of The Huish Centre and its collaboration with Camtree – the Cambridge Teacher Research Exchange. This session will share steps colleagues can take to join this important work to re-professionalise practice. https://chartered.pulse.ly/3yvndfsroo

If education is not built from the bottom up, with capacity at its core, and context as its guide, it will fail. It's why it's failing now. The only thing keeping education afloat is the above-and-beyond sacrifices of the staff at all levels.

I have nothing but fearful dread every time I hear that a government is doing something about education. It never feels like frontline staff are ever involved or consulted. And in Education, context is everything.

L: Private Eye front cover, yesterday. R: News headline, today. Stay ahead of the news; buy the Eye.

I didn't repost the original due to lack of alt text so I'm glad someone added it. This is very funny.

Yep. It was always a really useful resource but I looked at the update a week or two ago and it looks phenomenal. Also, if anyone knows Craig Barton, please ask him to come on here. The #MathsToday crowd are very active and it seems weird he isn’t here.

Some days, I could just hide in a cave. With a book. Maybe a torch and a flsk of sweet tea. But everything, and everyone, else could just do one.

I took the time to send an email to a mentor thanking him for his impact on me & he wrote back to say how much it meant to him. I highly recommend doing this, especially for your teachers. we keep them in little folders & reread them when we feel like we can’t go on.

A couple of days filming…

Collaborative Lesson Research (CLR - or Lesson Study) provides valuable opportunities for teachers to put research evidence into classroom practice in a safe, supported space, and to evaluate and reflect on its impact, together. www.collaborative-lesson-research.uk

The TES has reported about complaints about the lack of diversity in the new curriculum design team. Are there any actual frontline teachers, Primary or EYFS in there? If not,it's going to go wrong.
