@BTerziyski @panny_antoniou Not like us… 😂

[D. Saunders @DSaunders1106]

@BTerziyski @loulegg07 @AlexChrist43 Needed a clearer explanation considering the potential misconception!

[D. Saunders @DSaunders1106]

@FPLMate False alarm. We’re all good!

[D. Saunders @DSaunders1106]

@FPLMate We’re all in a lot of trouble

[D. Saunders @DSaunders1106]

@MissHealyPE Proud of you!

@maths_clarkey Thought you’d bought a new electric razor... Weird thing to share for a man with short hair and no beard...

Wouldn't it be great if there was a place where you could get reliable advice about teaching, leadership, hiring, PD and so on? Well, now there is. The best of the Marshall Memo—18 years of weekly syntheses of the best thinking in education—is here, free: https://t.co/YRcXZ2ETKh

@loulegg07 @BTerziyski following on from this morning. Maybe @klbwood should have come to ask the hard questions.

Excellent detailed post about curriculum design.

Looking forward to this. @MarkQuinn1968 #amreading

It’s on my list of books to read and if it’s half as good as your assemblies I’m sure it’ll be a wonderfully told story. Well done Mark!

I have just received a couple of startling reviews for my novel, Europejski. Please read the review and, if you like it, maybe you will buy it!

You're the head of a school. Your teaching staff agree to take four concrete, specific actions in each lesson to ensure rigor/maximize learning if you make a list of them. "Don't be vague," they say. "If there's one nebulous platitude, the deal is off." What's on your list?

[D. Saunders @DSaunders1106]

@DanielBundred @loulegg07 I don’t disagree but my issue is that there are a number of comments that follow slating practices that, when implemented well, can have a positive impact on behaviour and school culture. Pick what works for you in your context, don’t follow either book to the letter.

[D. Saunders @DSaunders1106]

@DanielBundred @loulegg07 Agreed, the context sets a much more agreeable tone. But I worry about a lot of the comments that follow. Anything done poorly will result in suboptimal results and following, literally, to the book, rarely produces the same output in completely different contexts.

[D. Saunders @DSaunders1106]

@loulegg07 Saw this. Was not an enjoyable read. So you misbehaved because you were a git, I misbehaved because I was deeply unhappy AND probably a bit of a git. So who is right? It’s so absolute, zero nuance. Both can be true.
