RIP Bob Younger. Go well RC.

RIP the great Robert Duvall. A real class act. One of my favourites is his turn opposite De Niro in ‘True Confessions’. It’s well worth seeking out.

Bud Cort has passed away. He was our Harold. I also remember him in the movie MASH which I watched a lot as a kid. Go well.

www.theguardian.com/business/202... This will be why he lives tax free in Monaco. What a patriot. Another millionaire who hates people.

This is going to be ace! Get yourself some tickets!

Remembering Juliet Robertson is the first in a two-part series of episodes celebrating the life and work of Juliet Robertson, teacher, a trainer, a mentor, campaigner and friend.

I have been reflecting on all the discussions had yesterday at the workshop presented by @hywelroberts.bsky.social. Currently reading the book ‘Botheredness’ and planning how I can work the pedagogy into my own practice. #EduSky #Botheredness

It was a buzzing at Day One of the #Botheredness Teacher Development Programme for the The Diocese Of Sheffield Academies Trust (DSAT). Lots of thinking, participation, conversations, reflections, and, dare I say it, fun. Well done everyone! #pedagogy #classroom

I am *super excited* to be working with @hywelroberts.bsky.social on a new programme for teachers and school leaders. It combines Hywel's pedagogy of botheredness with my implementation know-how to create classrooms where kids get properly stuck in - by design. If you're interested, click below

After an ace do in Northampton, I’m now in that London gearing up for the Whole Education conference in Regents Park. It’s inside otherwise I would have brought a jumper. London, if anyone is wondering, is brilliant. 😀 #teaching #learning #botheredness #Keynote @wholeeducation.bsky.social

Turned up to do a #Keynote this morning and this is there. How brilliant! Thanks Road English Hub! #botheredness #reading #writing #Drama

I’m off with my fine pals Martin Illingworth and Paul Bateson to #Monaco for some #pedagogy action. #Drama #Botheredness #Storytelling #Joy #Leadership

Taking down the tree and re-finding this. It’s the The Chapel at Bretton Hall College in Wakefield where I did my degree and PGCE many years ago. Funny how a little thing like this can evoke so much.

All the very best for a happy and peaceful 2026, to all my friends and colleagues on here! #botheredness #edusky

The Headteacher’s Handbook is worth buying alone for the brilliant 100day plan written by @carter59.bsky.social Thank you @raesnape.bsky.social for collecting all this wisdom. 🧵21/21 A book in 21posts.

‘And let's show our new, precious teachers, who have come through the system in more recent times, that curriculum delivery is a broad church of optimism, passion and imagination, and not simply a cold download’ @hywelroberts.bsky.social in @raesnape.bsky.social The Headteacher’s Handbook 🧵16/n

After dipping into ‘The Headteacher’s Handbook’ for guidance, I’ve been reading it cover to cover. In this thread, I’ll highlight some of the wonderful quotes and contributors. Great job @raesnape.bsky.social 🧵1/n

Last minute advice

It’s time to keep your appointment with…

🧵 "What's the one thing you'd change about your learners?" Over the years I've asked this question to 1000's of teachers and school leaders. The answer is *almost always* a variation on a theme: ‘I wish they were more independent’ ‘I wish they were more resilient’

‘I wish they were more motivated to learn’ But what if we don't need a magic wand? What if it's possible to teach in such a way that students develop these qualities?

Please take a look at this thread if you are an interested #educator. @rethinkingjames.bsky.social and I are running a programme next year that’s all about #implementing #Botheredness. Thanks

Absolutely agree that it is a fantastic book and approach as it has supported so many aspects of my teaching

We're now recruiting our first cohort of teachers and school leaders. Primary, secondary, post-16 - all are welcome. See here for details: www.makingchangestick.co/implementing...

Here's the low-down: ✔️ 4 days in central London - always on a Friday and always followed by a social ✔️ 2 online check-ins to see how people are getting on ✔️ Half in the summer term and half in the autumn term, so it bestrides the summer

So I'm absolutely delighted to have teamed up with Hywel to create a new professional learning programme called 'Implementing Botheredness'. It combines Hywel’s work around the pedagogy of botheredness with the practical tools of implementation and improvement science.

But understanding how to get students really invested in their learning is one thing. Making it happen as a part of routine practice is quite another.

That's why I've been so excited to learn about @hywelroberts.bsky.social work around the pedagogy of #Botheredness. If there's one book I wish I'd had when I started teaching, this is it.

Terrible news.

A pile of toxic filth has been dumped in the British countryside. This has put me in mind of Nigel Farage This week’s column by Stewart Lee, on Reform poisoning our national discourse www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

NEW There's no overstating how significant the Nathan Gill case is. On Friday, the close associate of Nigel Farage was jailed for over 10 years for taking bribes ultimately from a friend of Putin. It's a complex, detail-heavy story that raises questions about Farage’s claim Gill was ‘one bad apple’🧵
