I love your blue raspberry slush

@theresacambo Haven’t used the Twitter account for about three years! Kathryn told me you’d sent me a message. Thank you!

[Mr. D. Kenny @DKY_RE]

Had the pleasure of Big Norm's company for a short while after today's game. True gentlemen. Thanks for your time @NormanWhiteside

Yet more evidence today that teacher-directed learning is far more effective than enquiry based - not dismissing the latter entirely, mind.

[Olivia Dear @oliviaparisdyer]

"the more time the teacher spends explaining and the less time students spend in discussion, the better." #JustTellThem thanks for this post https://t.co/ISj4GDOwkN

[Greg Ashman @greg_ashman]

Agree with this.

[Greg Ashman @greg_ashman]

A question for those dismissing PISA evidence on inquiry learning:
What evidence *would* convince you that it is a less effective approach?

After being trained in all ways progressive, I have first hand experience of its pitfalls and have no problems with this philosophy at all. https://t.co/AJPMIVeRAa

Fantastic to see this: latest Ofsted guidance gives sensible direction on marking https://t.co/xWKdAGMgjF RT: you do NOT need to deep mark

[Mr. D. Kenny @DKY_RE]

@MrsKnight_SC think we need to invest more time in this type of revision. Learned today that my revision lecture is no longer as effective.

[Mr. D. Kenny @DKY_RE]

@MrsKnight_SC superb!

[Mrs Knight @MrsKnight_SC]

@DKY_RE ey, Dom, like my mindmap?

[St Patrick's CoEE Initial Teacher Training @Stpatsalliance]

Don't try to cram everything into 1 lesson! It's learning over time that matters, let pupils think, reflect, finish+review work #ITTchat

[Mr. D. Kenny @DKY_RE]

@MissDCox gave her class' books and class data and she sat and went through books for the whole lesson. I just circulated. No problem. (2/2)

[Mr. D. Kenny @DKY_RE]

@MissDCox I had an assessment scheduled with Y10. Inspector arrived at the start of lesson, I told her we were doing an assessment (1/2)

[Mr. D. Kenny @DKY_RE]

Replace 'enough' with 'any'. But that's how it should be break = break. Pointless if it's used to 'catch up' or 'get ahead'. https://t.co/8TaVynVSJZ

Is there any other profession where you feel guilty that your holiday is nearly over and you haven't done enough work while you've been off?

[Mr. D. Kenny @DKY_RE]

The Mercy just keeps coming! @BrightLine treat pupils to a lunch time concert. #mercybeginswithme

[Mr. D. Kenny @DKY_RE]

Today we welcome @BrightLineBand from @MessageTrust. Year 10 begin the day by celebrating mercy. #mercybeginswithme #becreative
