🚨 NEW 🚨 Teachers have heard of Barak Rosenshine’s principles of instruction, but what about his essential insights into ‘knowledge structures’? ‘Rosenshine on knowledge structures’ alexquigley.co.uk/rosenshine-o...

I work for Scottish Book Trust and we’re running a survey for parents/teachers/kids book enthusiasts about how they find books for kids. I’d be enormously grateful if anyone can spare 5-10 mins to share their thoughts. #KidLitUK forms.office.com/e/EdVhWA0T0n

Life as a Ukrainian artist: at night you’re in hell — shaking, startled by explosions, unsure if you’ll live to see the morning. By day,you try to carry on like nothing happened — you create, go for walks, pretend life is normal... The night of May 24th was one of the worst. (Artwork from last year)

How to tell a teacher is on holiday…😂😂😂🥂🥂🥂 I promise they’re not all for me! #halfterm

This half term seems to have seen us all move a million miles an hour every single day! I am so grateful that I now have a few days to rest and reset and get myself to Hay for 4 days of geeking out with my bestie 🥳 #halfterm #hayfest #hayliteraryfest #educhat #BookSky
