The reason you’ve given serious thought to leaving teaching. Since 2006.

Fidget toys are the brain gym of the 2020’s.

Absolutely baffles me that kids who are easily distracted (but not ADHD) are handed them.

For an “evidence based profession” is embarrassing

[Fake Ambitious Assistant Head @FakeAmbiAssHead]

Work at school trying to educate high numbers of disadvantaged children? Well you can expect to be your progress 8 score to be much lower.

How is it right that schools serving poor areas are PENALISED for it?

Somethings not right here.

[Fake Ambitious Assistant Head @FakeAmbiAssHead]

Progress 8 punishes schools teaching high proportions of disadvantaged pupils.

High P8 scores and high PP population schools are like hens teeth.

I stole this off someone on the internet and it’s 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Every teacher in a trust RANKED by estimate of impact of their teaching?!

Every teacher in the UK should know that this could potentially be coming to a trust near you.

Surely this is BIG DEAL?

The cards are only 7 years old.

Mad how quickly the robot risk has changed.

[Fake Ambitious Assistant Head @FakeAmbiAssHead]

Pssst…can I tell you something without you getting upset?

People are are rolling their eyes and taking the piss out of you when you keep saying “my staff”

Just thought you’d prefer to know.

Teacher blogs from 2012 bonkers!

How did the profession get to the point where people were encouraged to think like this? 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🤯🤯🤯🤯

[tetheredtoed @tetheredtoed1]

The most innovative and equitable classroom practices:

— desks in rows w all facing the whiteboards and smartboard directly

— minimize visual and auditory noise and distraction

— teacher orchestrates all students responding and clarifying their thinking as much as possible

— clear, concise, coherent, CORRECT curricular materials

— consistency and repetition for habit building in all schedules — instructional time is sacrosanct and predictable

@oldandrewuk It's an inconsistent picture: schools with a strong vision that engage with research in a thoughtful way have definitely made great strides, however unfortunately this is not true of many schools

[Fake Ambitious Assistant Head @FakeAmbiAssHead]

Another unintended consequence of @Ofstednews

Book-looks were on their way out; pointless workload & terrible proxies for learning

Since ofsted decided to magically use them to assess the quality of learning in the classroom every dipshit SLT now thinks they can do the same

It’s that time of year again when toxic leaders make themselves known by asking for your gained time!

Watch out, cos they have some sneaky ol’ plans of how they are going to rob you of it!

[Fake Ambitious Assistant Head @FakeAmbiAssHead]

I think this is a very worthwhile article to read if you’re a teacher or a parent.

Not your typical @guardian opinion on education. Quite the opposite in fact!

👏👏👏👏

Why did Scotland do so poorly compared to England on key education tests? And on what the SNP & the Conservatives in Westminster have in common.

Scottish schools have tumbled from top of the class. This is what went wrong | Sonia Sodha https://t.co/Xubd3c9Qeg

@TTRadioOfficial Just stop then

There is no need to be working like this

If the job can't be done in the time allocated - then they can't be done

I'll say it again...

Teachers are their own worse enemy - stop with the martyrdom it's not a competition to see who can work the longest
