My article on leadership and school librarians is out now in @InfoProMag. All school libraries need an experienced, professional librarian at their helm. We should be looking to our international colleagues for inspiration! @intlNadine @IFLA @GreatSchLibs @richardgerver

[CILIP SLG @CILIPSLG]

Excellent article by Committee Member Mary Rose Grieve on the tightrope school librarians walk in their leadership role. May we all be ‘gentle agitators’!

@jabberworks @philipreeve1 Things are coming along…. What an incredible group of parents we have! @HartlandIntl

[Hartland International School Libraries @HISchoolLibrary]

@jabberworks @philipreeve1 We are SO EXCITED about your visit to our school! Here are our parents starting work on our Mousebase; next week, we are expecting an army of Adventuremice to be running around school leaving their tails behind them….

@imaginecentre @smithsmm I think that book on Tesla is absolutely top class-a perfect picturebook biography.

@Headteacherchat We have just started to implement @nikkigamble ‘s Reading Journey app which fosters strong reading communities without the need for extrinsic motivators-but which allows teachers and parents to celebrate chns reading.

"There is surely no lower educational expectation than believing a child has nothing to say for themselves. That they are empty – devoid of any thoughts, knowledge, ideas or experiences that readers would feel worth hearing about." 👇

“This book looks to present what is presently known about the science of writing. Our understanding of how young writers develop is becoming more complete all the time. We know that writing is something that is both personal and intensely social, both cognitive and emotive…”

@PushkinChildren I would love to share these with my students who are addicted to choosing their own adventures!

Raced through it-it is a magical read. I just love books set in Venice. In my next life, I’m going to be a Venetian…

@MeggittPhillips Things are hotting up @HartlandIntl…! Bookmarks are being made, beasts being fashioned and we’re expecting the beast in school any day now, burping up Patrick’s feathers and leaving slime wherever he’s been…@nikkigamble @OpenUni_RfP @EmiratesLitFest

I haven’t finished yet, but am loving it. Recommened to me by @ummansoor who said it was her book of the decade-coming from her, there is no higher recommendation! He is coming to the @EmiratesLitFest at the end of the month. Can’t wait!

@learning_gee Isn’t it brilliant! @charliehacking and @Dominic_Wyse have written a corker… so much to think about. Looking forward to discussing it more with you, @learning_gee

[Hartland International School Libraries @HISchoolLibrary]

@TeresaCremin @EmiratesLitFest @MeggittPhillips @HartlandIntl I think it was the beak that did it… 😅

[Hartland International School Libraries @HISchoolLibrary]

Thanks to @EmiratesLitFest, we have @MeggittPhillips coming to @HartlandIntl next term. This is me in the final assembly of term revealing the news to the school. The excitement levels are intense. Not to mention my humiliation.

[Hartland International School Libraries @HISchoolLibrary]

There isn’t much I’d stay up past midnight for, but Newsletter Live with the sensational @lauramucha is one. Great to talk about our #Dubai TRG @OpenUni_RfP. Thank you all so much for championing poetry. @TeresaCremin @debbiet99313391 and @kashleyenglish @charliehacking

I've never really understood why other subjects should dictate what the next class book is. Books should be selected because they'll make the children gasp, laugh, cry, think and empathise, not because there's some heavily contrived link to Squirrels & Submarines. #Edutwitter

@Eve_Mc_Donnell @CILIPSLG I LOVED it! Recommended by @nikkigamble and if she loves it, then it really must be good!

[Hartland International School Libraries @HISchoolLibrary]

After a bit of a hiatus on X, I return with an autumnal-looking front cover of a brilliant book, finished today after our @CILIPSLG committee meeting. It was such a good read-perfect as the nights draw in-a rich mix of history, suspense magical fantasy and lots to think about🌰🍂

If you teach children to write by copying they will come to believe that they can only write if there is a model to copy.
