Thanks for the enthusiasm and shares for our curriculum impact document. I've designed this to be relevant for my school and have made some tweaks based on really helpful feedback. If you'd like to download a word version to edit, here you go: https://t.co/98ffIMwNY1

First week of distance learning in the bag. Leading a team remotely has had its challenges but I’m grateful for everyone’s blind faith and confidence, definitely think it’s paid off. #thingscanonlygetbetter #remotelearning #initforthestudents

Student: “This essay (from September) is so bad (it wasn’t); I can’t believe I wrote this.”
Me: “Do or do not. There is no try.”
The power of effective planning and feedback! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

@holliepoetry Overall didn’t rate it either but I did love Adam Driver singing ‘Being Alive’.

Yes you can teach students to take notes (and you probably should).

At spin class this morning, I couldn’t think of who the instructor reminded me of.
“Come on, we’re in this together. Feel the burn.”
Then I realised it was me during exam season.

Feeling all kinds of love watching @dancingonice this evening. 🌈❤️

[UN Women @UN_Women]

In 2019, only 1 woman was awarded the @NobelPrize, which makes a total of 35 women out of 935 #NobelPrize winners over the years.

We need more women represented in all fields!

@RoyalMail thank you for delivering our girls’ special cards from Santa. They were thrilled and we’re all feeling more festive now.

Fantastic and very worthwhile learning experience. Thanks @Doug_Lemov, I’m ready to reconsider reading with my students.

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

Thank you to everyone who attended our Reading Reconsidered workshop in London these past two days. What a fantastic group of participants. Erica, Colleen, Jen & I are grateful for your energy & wisdom. Please keep in touch!

I use my visualiser almost every lesson now to "live draw" for my students. Here's a practical example that harnesses dual coding, redundancy and the split attention effect. https://t.co/iJUGaoyfyz

Excited that Guernsey children will benefit from this approach- the book is excellent.
