🚨2019 REBLOG🚨 Gearing up to speak to my #ITT beginning teachers tomorrow about how they can continue to grow as #ECT s and beyond. The end of the #ITT #PGCE year is not the end of the process of becoming a great classroom practitioner. uonhistoryteachertraining.school.blog/2019/07/09/b...

With this in mind, it's been decided to postpone the Teachmeet until after the Summer holidays. We'll be in touch when we've have a new date.  I'm sure you'll all join me in sending love to Mags and her family at this difficult time.    #teachmeetukie #teachmeet

Firstly a big thank you for showing interest in our joint UK/Ireland teachmeet I was organising in association with Mags Amond. I know some of you have already heard the sad news, but if you haven't, Mags' husband Paddy passed away suddenly over the weekend.  #teachmeetukie #teachmeet

For anyone who's starting a primary teacher training course in September - a reminder to get hold of a copy of my Science Fix book to prepare you to teach science. It's the perfect Summer read! #edusky #eduskyprimary #ite #itt #teachertraining

Friends! If you know of anyone who’s going to train as a science teacher in September, please tell them I’m giving away FREE Kindle editions of my book “Why Don’t Things Fall Up?” which is recommended by lots of science teachers and on many science teacher training reading lists

Well. Looks like you *can* write off the Germans after all...

Well done for making it through a ridiculously warm week 🥵. Take it easy today and enjoy a well earned rest this weekend. This week’s #FridayTeacherTask is pretty basic one. Good luck, you time starts now. #teacher #wellbeing #education

The more science you know, the more funny this is 🌱

I saw something last week I have been thinking of every day since. It brings joy into my darkest moments. I will tell it to you all now

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

If you find yourself at a BBQ this weekend with a family member intent on saying this is just 1976...here is the data to destroy their argument. 😀

Solstice evening in the forest

We're doing a Forest Holiday cabin in Thetford this weekend. Trying out the Merlin bird app.

This is without a doubt the most embarrassing thing I've seen today. Nancy Mace wins today's Lauren Boebert Award for Dumbest Thing Said By a Republican Woman in Congress hands down.

My ITT student went for an ECT post interview today. They offered her the job. BUT, no £ to fund ECT, so 2 years as instructor & then ECT after that. I am appalled that a huge MAT would do this to a brand new teacher!
