Session 2

Session 1 😊

Train number 2! And not lost! Well … not lost yet 😬

#EduSky #UKEd rED25 Nat Conf | The Professional Mind | 9:40 | M05 Not at all sure my slide deck will play from the cloud or email (15MBs!) so have also captured the main points on 4 sheets of flip chart paper (placed on the floor as aide-mémoire). So it may be a slide-less presentation. Why not?

Looking forward to speaking at researchED National Conference this weekend at Parliament Hill School. My presentation will be on driving school improvement. I am presenting session one in room M30! More information on my website: www.miriamhussain.education/events

*** NEW POST *** @greeborunner.bsky.social writes her personal reflections on class and education - it keeps coming back to that age-old question of who our schools succeed for. teachreal.wordpress.com/2025/09/05/e...

Question 3 of NPQSL Assessment answered thus: No. I will not answer your question, it’s boring, I will instead discuss the contention that Cleopatra had the body of a roll-top desk and the mind of a duck.

Blowing the cobwebs away! Teaching a challenging class again this year, but the progress they’ve made since September is huge. Keeping on going when things seem overwhelming can be really hard, but looking for even the tiniest positives & feeling supported when things are tough are absolutely key ☺️

Puppy spam 🥰

My @schoolsweek.bsky.social piece on curriculum reviews. If we learn from 35 yrs of them, we might avoid the ever-recurring problems. But without strong subject-curricular training, espec for senior/system leaders, the finest rubric will still feed old distortions. schoolsweek.co.uk/what-a-natio...

#EduSky community is now over 3.5k strong!

This is a god read … on patience, caution and consideration of all the outcomes … it’s easy to rush through change with a tendency to only focus on the desired outcomes … not the unintended consequences. @greeborunner.bsky.social teachreal.wordpress.com/2024/09/19/c...

Accurate!

Teachers of BlueSky! Do you enjoy They Behave For Me? If yes, please do share. Here, WhatsApp, work groups...anything. This is the best way to support us 🙏🙏

Will write a blog post on this, but in meantime, here’s KS2 results in reading and writing by LA (x axis) pre- and post-pandemic. Note the wholesale flip: 2018/19 writing above reading; 2021/22 reading above writing.

A thread on smartphones in schools... At Ormiston Academies Trust, our vision is for a school system where every child can thrive. Learning, behaviour and wellbeing are top priorities in our schools, but all can be impacted negatively by smartphones.

AI is no substitute for the expertise and nuanced understanding that a teacher brings.

📣 WE ARE HIRING 📣 Are you looking for a full-time permanent Science teacher role starting in January *and* can commute to Wakefield? Then I have the most exciting news for you from Trinity Academy Cathedral! See next post for more!

Who's interested? Let's see what the numbers would look like? Can't keep research out of God's own country

And now we’re learning *how* to train teachers to tell stories so as to bring out their power for heightening pupils’ attention. Stories work through “gaps, spaces and silences” (Iser) which place the hearer/reader in a state of heightened attention #rED24 #OpeningWorlds

@adamjames317.bsky.social good to meet you today ☺️

Bumpkin goes home 🥰 #rED24

Had such a great day today at #rED24: My favourite things from this year: @pepsmccrea.bsky.social on brain gym; building belonging through shared social norms and the power of shared norms between staff … @mralmonded.bsky.social on letter formation diagnostics- can they copy x - if not look deeper.

@claresealy.bsky.social on learning to talk and learning through talk #rED24

It has been a privilege to work on this and learn from @samgibbs.bsky.social. It has been fun too 😂 Come and hear us talk about ethical leadership, the mechanisms of effective PD and how these could be used to develop leaders to build relational trust in the context of their schools. #rED24

Do you use evidence-informed strategies and resources? I do! #powerfulteaching #powerfulclassrooms

Still not getting much discussion. Hmmm, back to the drawing board

These are all great!

This book will be EPIC! @mrzachg.bsky.social has an excellent way of communicating complicated ideas clearly. Here is the UK pre-order link to his book: www.amazon.co.uk/Just-Tell-Th...
