The Classroom Teacher

I am a primary school teacher who enjoys learning just as much as teaching 🧠 Here to discuss the profession of education 📚

@UFLgame Should we be able to stream the game on a PlayStation Portal now? Mine is saying ‘Cannot Connect to Server’ and something about the game client version being out of date 🤷🏻‍♂️

@TTRadioOfficial This is so true. We get judged by some leaders who haven’t taught in years & left the classroom way too quickly.

Hey, @grok, who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was

@RogersHistory This is an area that we do not talk about enough. We can ask and ask for more funding but is it always being properly spent in the most effective way possible?

[The Classroom Teacher @ClassTeacher_]

@jdurran It depends on the coordinates of the classroom really.

@FixingEducation Non-negotiable 😶

@Strickomaster The system is flawed. A lot of teachers want to stop teaching and move up into leadership before they have even changed year group. How can we address this?

[The Classroom Teacher @ClassTeacher_]

@greeborunner Lesson observations are subjective. There are some objective elements but they also depend on who is observing. We need to completely do away with lesson ‘observations’ and switch the focus. Teachers can invite staff in to watch their lesson and then discuss.

@adamboxer1 It’s very disappointing. A commission set up to support teachers but with barely any teacher voice within it. I just hope they reach out and talk to teachers.

@MaryWBousted It would be great if you got us involved, Mary.

@Thinkingschool2 I think too many teachers want to progress too quickly. Experience is so important when you make the move into leadership 🙏🏻

@SchoolsWeek If we are playing a game of semantics then why don’t we stop calling them ‘schools’ and call them ‘places of learning’ instead 😏

[The Classroom Teacher @ClassTeacher_]

@TTRadioOfficial ‘What we will do is we will scrap green pen marking and use yellow pen instead and why don’t we also scrap teacher observations and call them observations of the teacher instead. Splendid!’

[The Classroom Teacher @ClassTeacher_]

@RogersHistory ‘Alexa, give me something that will make even more teachers leave the profession.’

[The Classroom Teacher @ClassTeacher_]

@smithsmm I wholeheartedly agree with you. Although, shouldn’t we also then question the amount of observations, learning walks, book scrutiny’s etc that teachers face every year? Change needs to start from inside our schools.

@secretHT1 ‘Alexa, give me some synonyms for Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement & Special Measures’ ☑️

[The Classroom Teacher @ClassTeacher_]

@Thinkingschool2 There is no value. The Big Listen fell on deaf ears. Just when we thought the pressures on schools couldn’t get any worse 😶

[The Classroom Teacher @ClassTeacher_]

@mrsrobertsgeog The whole structure within schools needs a serious rethink & addressing.
