If you’re setting up your first classroom, don’t forget to tape a 1p on the bottom of your staple gun before you start doing your displays.

You’ll thank me later. 👍

Can AI mark GCSE History essays? 🧠📜

We tested Tutor2U, MarkMe & more using real 2024 scripts. Some scary accuracy… and some worrying misses.

AI: “Here’s a full lesson plan, differentiated, with plenary.”

Teachers: “But… is it any good?”

New blog: AI vs Teacher Voice – Who’s in Charge of the Curriculum?

The article asks teachers to “do more” — but doesn’t speak to what good inclusive teaching already looks like, nor celebrate those already doing it. (2/2)

[Steve White @CPDin5]

From a teacher’s perspective, this reads more like campaigning than policy. There’s no reference to research-based training approaches (e.g., graduated response models, assistive tech, Quality First Teaching strategies) or existing success stories from inclusive schools (1/2)

Study leave? Sorted.

A new blog post for Year 11 & 13 students on how to structure revision, manage stress, and get through exam season in one piece. Practical, reassuring, and student-friendly.

Just stumbled across the world of teachers filming classrooms for TikTok—no students, but voices heard. Not for CPD, just self-promotion. So many ethical & professional red flags I don’t even know where to start.
