@NEBookAwards Hi. I'm trying to get in touch with you about a literature festival I'm organising at the school I work in. I can't find an email or anything. I'd love to tell you more if you could provide a contact? Many thanks!

https://t.co/moRyDhNTYw is an excellent website: copy and paste any text & it will identify the tier two vocabulary. From this, the site can generate a glossary, multiple choice quizzes & more. For example:

If you don’t teach English like this are you really even a teacher?

For many years I taught in a school where the students didn’t move, the staff did. We changed things around a few years ago but these are some of the things I learned about nomad teaching that may help some people out as this year starts... (thread)

Government to head teachers:
"Get all your staff to teach online straightaway and close your school."
HTs: "OK. Any help for those kids without computers and/or WiFi?"
Gov: "Yes in about two months we will give you nowhere near the amount you need and they'll be locked."

@LadyGlencora I would like to!

If the A Level results show anything, it's that teachers believe in their students irrespective of background or circumstance, but politicians do not.

Given that 275+ health/care workers & 52 transport workers have died with COVID-19, why is anyone angry with teachers who are worried about getting it?
Especially as we still don’t know how easily kids can transmit it?
I completely empathise with their very real concerns.

[Mrs S @AmySnowman]

@kimmysut I can't bring myself to watch it!
