I never post on Twitter - professional lurker - but I have to share these. My proudest moment as HoD - book vending machines as part of whole school rewards #teamenglish #edutwitter

This has been a labour of love - my GCSE Worlds and Lives scheme is finished. I LOVED making these lessons and hope they are useful to someone. If you're thinking about switching anthologies, please do it - they're such lovely poems!! dropbox.com/scl/fo/52t39t2x8…

Why I love… AQA Paper 2 Question 5 – Slow Writing – a process and approach to viewpoint writing

Why I love… AQA Paper 2 Question 5 – Slow Writing – a process and approach to viewpoint writing

This is not my work and all credit needs to go to my brilliant colleagues @megan_dunsby who introduced the department to this strategy and @katiesuther who also developed and used this, sharing it …

🧵 A boy and his bowls Feel free to RT A year ago my wee son Gabriel (12) was heartbroken to discover his love of woodwork was deemed uncool. So in a bid to boost his insta followers (at the time a rather modest 6) Dad foolishly (?) reached out to the lovely people on twitter.

An open letter to @Ofstednews and @educationgovuk: The tragic death of a headteacher underscores the urgent need for change in the inspection system. Action must be taken to address the unsustainable demands placed on school leaders. #ForRuth

I promised a P2 Pupil I would tweet @katyperry so she could hopefully see that this Pupil loves her and would want her to be her celebrity teacher. So I’m hopeful @katyperry could make her day.

I had no money growing up. My dad was a labourer and my mum did everything to make ends meet. Men worked hard. Women worked miracles. But education was free. As was the local library. I knew books were my passport to a better life. Happy #WorldBookDay

IMPACT of #READING 20-minutes a day? Any thoughts? #TeamEnglish #engchat #edchat #books #ChildrensBooks #school
A student who read for 20 minutes per day will be exposed to 1.8 million words in a year and score in the 90th percentile; whereas a student who read for 1 minute per day will be exposed to 8 thousand words in a year and score in the 10th percentile.
