***LITERACY STANDARDS***
Literacy lies at the heart of everything we do.
We know that strong reading, writing, and speaking skills are essential for students to fully engage with our ambitious, knowledge-rich curriculum and to succeed in all areas of life. That’s why we prioritise developing high levels of literacy across all subjects.
@MissCole279 has worked hard with our literacy lead to bring our strategy to life throughout school.

The whole process! Scaffolded I do, you do for the thesis, what, how and why and then students wrote a what, how, paragraph independently! Some truly excellent responses, well done year 10!

I've been doing lots of sentence work. Last term, I tried to write with students every lesson, just trying to build writing muscles and expose them to lots of models

Does anyone have a grading and reporting system that they use that they think is effective? Are you in favour of sharing students' target or current grades? Why/why not? Thank you in advance! @PearceMrs @FunkyPedagogy @SaysMiss

Today I have a 90 min inset on 'lifting the lid on classroom talk'.
It has probably taken me over 20 hours to put together and many drafts.
Here is a little thread on what I'm doing and why. 1/10
Hi everyone. I know that teaching at the sentence-level is becoming a priority for many of you. Below, I’ve put together a collection of articles on the subject. Any of these could be really useful to read and discuss as part of a staff meeting.
Happy writing!
Does anyone have any ideas/ book recommendations /blogs on how to teach effective note taking for students and teachers? @teacherhead@PearceMrs@Xris32@Doug_Lemov 🙏📝
I'm leading a T&L research group inspired by @PearceMrs's brilliant book. We have read Rosenshine & The Great Teaching Toolkit. Any suggestions for the next journal to read? 📖👍 Lists welcome!
@jamesdyke21@LauraLolder@DixonsTC James, this all sounds fascinating. A plea from me to have a look at your KS3 curriculum. Ours need reviewing. Much appreciated!

But most think they need a gym.
Here are the 9 exercises I used to get ripped at home (steal this workout):
