@Caroline_Alice_ @Mr_Crome Hi Caroline - this looks super! We’ve also been reading this, could I get a copy?

@SStreaterMaths Is this near me in Woburn Sands by any chance?

English teachers: I’ve seen a number of requests for stories that could be read & discussed within a *single* class period. So, let’s do a fast 🧵. I’ll share a linked story with a possible discussion Q, imagining the following thumbnail lesson plan for secondary English…

There've been *loads* of cracking education threads shared in the last term.

To ease you into the festivities, here are 30 of the finest:

I ❤️how these writing strategies pair together-Mapping your Heart is about generating ideas while Ideas Grow Ideas is about staying engaged in the work. If you find that volume of writing is down try going back to a generating or engagement strategy #RSDwriting #DistanceLearning

[Mrs. Hutton @_MrsHutton]

Why should you keep doing schoolwork? Saw this info graphic and wanted to share. I know it’s a difficult time for everyone, but keeping your mind sharp and working on these optional assignments will benefit you! See the picture to find out how! #distancelearning

Evening fellow teaching bods! Q. How does your school support staff and student well being? #edutwitter #MentalHealthMatters #SchoolCouncil #education #wellbeing

[Susan Strachan @SusanSEnglish]

Thread of resources inspired by @mssfax earlier in the holidays. As I 'start' to think about back to school these may be helpful for other teachers, also starting this process.

[Sian Streater @SStreaterMaths]

Proud. Results in CNS aren’t just numbers- they are children’s lives and futures and THAT is why I love my school because that is what matters and that is what I’m encouraged to think about when I teach. The numbers we had today were great, but the smiles were better.

@Quotemehappy I am unable to login to my account, there is no reset password email sent and you have no call centre. I will not be able to amend my car insurance details and will be forced to go elsewhere if this is not dealt with quickly. Please advise.

[Avril Dowdeswell @AvsInTheClassrm]

@SStreaterMaths Wow!! You offering to help me with some wallpapering Streater 🤔🤪
