Always back the teacher in front of your child. That's my advice to parents. You can take it or leave it. Up to you.

This is a tremendous long article on how 'Effective vocabulary instruction fosters knowing words, using words, and understanding how words work', by @margaretmckeow2, in @ASHAJournals (via @WordAware): pubs.asha.org/doi/pdf/10.104…
Time well spent with #TeamScience developing our understanding of our curriculum model and links. Can’t wait for the finished product (that we can read clearly!) @mrbuttscience @hulsemeister @JRavenscroft5 @Meres_Academy
Just received this ‘Bluecoat Banta Card’ to brighten my day 😄 not only did the students succeed in making me smile, they actually found a semi-decent science joke and one I hadn’t heard before!! @Meres_Academy @

If you haven’t already seen Matt’s TED Talk, I can highly recommend it! Sleep is your super power. A wonderful reminder how important sleep is for nourishing, resetting and supporting our brain, so it can serve us in the way it’s designed to.

Is me mentoring more important than coaching for new teacher? @DrRLofthouse says in depends on model of mentoring & coaching & the teacher. We are struggling to recruit & retain new teachers & they are different than previous cohorts...#CollectivEd19 Mentoring is important! – at Birmingham, England
What are people’s opinions about encouraging teachers to stay in the profession through financial gains? 🤷🏽♀️ ukedchat.com/2019/01/28/redu…
