As a headteacher the mental health of staff is an absolute priority.

What we find helps:

- Live marking only in class
- Disruption free teaching
- No lesson plans
- Backing teacher’s decisions
- Bespoke CPD
- No weekend emails
- Saying “thank you”
- Trust-wide collaboration

Initial results from my survey of 136 teachers show 30% receive contact from parents re conflict between girls SEVERAL TIMES a week. 75% up to 3 times a fortnight. Here’s how to solve it.

[Inclusive Attendance Ltd. @IncAttendance]

Week 3 of the whole school approach to restorative practice and how we appreciate positive behaviour. Attendance now 97%, punctuality outstanding, 2 behaviour incidents in one week (minimal), meet and greets and a common language of RRS being embedded! Paul Dix 🙏

"Subject departments should make it their mission to identify the most problematic misconceptions in the discipline, record them centrally & share the most effective strategies for helping students to overcome them." @atharby 'How to explain absolutely anything...' Out next week.

[John Naylor @matlockjohn1971]

A plea for help. I want to revamp the way in which my school conducts work scrutinies. Can anyone point me to any articles or research that would be a good starting point? I want an emphasis on what the student is doing as opposed to the teacher @Doug_Lemov @researchEDDHS

[Dylan Wiliam @dylanwiliam]

Increased use of student-centered teaching methods is linked to increased student wellbeing but lower achievement, which in turn, link to increased adult life satisfaction, but lower earnings—the "achievement-wellbeing tradeoff", discussed by @CfEdnEcon: https://t.co/81hXMr90A4
