The science KS4 curriculum is a national travesty

It urgently needs reduction, and it's appalling that it hasn't happened yet

My son's school. Needs sorting!

Everything is in place to start vital repairs at Corpus Christi school – closed since July due to RAAC.

This week, I asked the government why they have failed to approve funding for these works.

Further delay will just leave students, teachers & parents facing more disruption.

Rosenshine's Principles of Instruction summarizes the actions of the teachers with the most achievement gains. It's unknown in the USA despite Rosenshine being American. The following are forms of pushback and important considerations to take when implementing it in schools. 🧵1/

Teacher training providers have warned that the ‘enormous pressure' they are under to recruit trainees could be leading to unsuitable candidates being taken on

This is a really superb piece from @Strickomaster on how schools policy has not caught up with the new reality of headship

‘I have the same fire in my belly for headship as when I started, but it is no longer the same job. Exhaustion, fatigue, resentment and anger are rife’ /13

Of roughly 3500 schools in the UK, 1699 of them are looking for a Science teacher 😬 The recruitment & retention crisis continues. #edutwitter #teachertwitter

There are no stationary objects in the Universe: even our Solar System is moving not only around the center of the Galaxy (828,000 km/h) but also relative to its nearest stellar neighbors (70,000 km/h)

I've made a summary of the Ofsted Science Report "Finding the Optimum" 🧪⚛️

👇Here's the link for the written summary (11 min read) and a PDF version of this graphic 👍

Hope it's useful! #edublogshare

@SPURS82est @IsabelOakeshott What in the name of all that is holy are you talking about? Totally uninformed 🙄

[David Toyloco @DToyloco]

@JuliaHB1 Hopefully can bring you down then!

Love that Waterloo road is back on our screens so I can scream at the TV, "that would never happen in schools!"🤣

[David Toyloco @DToyloco]

Amen!

Teachers, never let family time be shortchanged. If something happened to you, they would replace you fairly quickly at school but you're irreplaceable at home.
