31 Aug 1940: As World War II begins to intensify, German dictator Adolf Hitler, outraged at #Britain bombing Berlin, orders Hermann Goering to prepare for the bombing of London. Hitler still wanted attacks to focus on strategic targets and not mass civilians as would soon occur. #History #OTD #ad amzn.to/3QESUAH

Democracy & Demographics are destiny that cradle change. Political ideas, attitudes/identities evolve with constitutional preferences that pivot with them. A democratic system cannot freeze history at the moment most convenient to whichever group once held political predominance.

In a recent newsletter poll, 92 teachers told me what stops them using mini-whiteboards consistently…
41% already use them regularly.
40% blamed logistics. Dried-out pens, boards going missing.
Only 13% cited routines or not knowing what to ask.
Barely anyone is stuck on the pedagogy. They’re stuck on the stationery cupboard.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with teachers at Glengormley Integrated College this morning. We had two 90-minute sessions, exploring principles and techniques to power up our pedagogy. Brilliant to hear how useful everyone found each session 😊

Learning stalls when working memory is overloaded. Great teaching creates cognitive balance by activating prior knowledge, reducing unnecessary cognitive load and presenting new learning clearly. Get that balance right and pupils thrive. More info: [email protected]

Great lessons don't always lead to great learning. When pupils don't learn what you intended, where is the learning process breaking down? A clear theory of learning helps you identify the problem and design effective solutions. Find out more: [email protected]

Building on themes from the morning sessions with all teachers at Glengormley Integrated College, it was great to spend the afternoon working with middle and senior leaders, exploring principles and practical approaches to power up our leadership of teaching and learning 🚀
Really enjoyable sessions today with @BruceNextLevel. Relevant and engaging - looking forward to implementing these ideas in the classroom.
