Interesting to read this. I know TF can be very divisive but it was a total game changer for me.

Gave me a route into teaching like nothing else, and I'm still going, 10 years later.

“a study found that three years after qualifying, only 43 per cent of Teach First trainees remained in the profession, compared to 61 per cent of those on HEI-led full-time routes” https://t.co/6lAmQ9Q6OQ

@HB_History @TTRadioOfficial Big respect for what TTR do and your part in that but, come on... "fled" isn't great, is it?

[Tom H 🌍 @GeographyTom9]

@BevMatt79 Thank you! Stiff this morning. 🤣

Ran a half marathon today with @runforall

Training plan fell apart about 6 weeks ago and haven't even set out for a run in a month.

But I really enjoyed it. Running is fun. Beautiful route through the city and into the Peaks. Wonderful. #SheffieldHalfMarathon @VisitSheffield

If you heard the audio and saw the pictures but think Greenwood's innocent because the court case fell apart, I really have nothing to say to you.

(Also it would be great if @TheAthleticFC would drop the paywall on this piece. It says important stuff that people need to read.)

People in 30 countries were asked: What reduces greenhouse gas emissions more?

Eating locally produced food, including meat and dairy?
Or vegetarian, even if some of it is imported?

The majority (wrongly) believed that local food is the better option.

Interesting to read a counter-argument to some of the narrative around teaching apprenticeships. Thanks @samtwiselton

@geogologue @GeogChat Thank you so much! 🌏

[Tom H 🌍 @GeographyTom9]

@Geo_Dougie @GeogChat Seconded! Map skills are the primary skill focus for us in physical landscapes.

[Tom H 🌍 @GeographyTom9]

@Geo_Dougie @GeogChat It's increasingly becoming a non-negotiable for me too.

[Tom H 🌍 @GeographyTom9]

@GeogChat Locations, generally stay UK based. Always try and keep things local esp at KS3. Want to upskill their local geographical imagination.

[Tom H 🌍 @GeographyTom9]

@GeogChat Sequence: start with the big picture, what is the landscape like/features etc.
Then you gradually zoom in. E.g., rivers - you focus on the whole river, then the courses, then the processes.
