Here’s an example of a ‘seating plan tick sheet’ as discussed in Ep3 of Operation Education. Each time you give ‘warm, specific, named praise’ add a tally to the name. Aim: 30-50 per lesson. Keep it on a clipboard. Print fresh for each lesson to allow for updates to seating plan

Sayeeda Warsi at the Centre for Media Monitoring event: "The choice really for British Muslims is, are we going to spend the next decade as we have spent the last two decades justifying why we are good people and how we're not the extremists and we're not..." (1/4)

here is Mamdani's entire speech at the Knicks parade, which is easily the best speech I've ever heard at an event of this sort

My tribute to my dad, who passed away last month in the UK.

He was a proud Indian immigrant *and* a proud British citizen.

His life story is one long rebuttal to the nativists, bigots and xenophobes.

Q: Why are mini-whiteboards *magic?*

A: because it is a whole-class snapshot for you, but a *1:1* experience for the child.

Even a quick nod at their board or a "good" with a point makes it a 1:1 interaction.

I can't think of any other way to pack so much 1:1 into a lesson?

@JoshPreyeGarry I’m in agreement- Somali cuisine is indeed elite, especially their slow cooker haneed. Hope your dissertation is going well Josh!

I've helped educate over 250 teachers met dozens of others via workshops etc. If each of you completed our survey and recruited two colleagues to do the same (as in some dodgy pyramid selling) we would get serious numbers for this important survey. https://t.co/qwz9Rmn9YN

1. Thread 🧵
How I start a lesson.
Before lesson begins, do now on board. PP, visualiser or handwritten on whiteboard. Doesn't matter what as long as clear and appropriatley pitched for hard thinking; onhigh success rate. Make sure everything you need for lesson is to hand.

Delighted to have an article in @histassoc TH192 exploring my journey so far through this challenge.

[Daniel Susskind @danielsusskind]

Today, on Holocaust Memorial Day, I'm thinking about this little boy, the same age as my kids, proudly showing a flower to another child, outside a gas chamber at Auschwitz, where they were all murdered moments later. It is so important for us all to remember what happened.
