@fiona_616 KIT day. Back after Easter

[Hayley Wright @HayleyDraper8]

@fiona_616 I’m in Monday, I’ll catch up with her then 😊

When people hear what I’m paid on mat leave, especially compared to those in the private sector, they are shocked. In a profession heavily made up of women, it’s unsurprising that most leave teaching. The perks of term time working just aren’t enough to keep many working mothers

[Cerys Turner @cerysturner7]

Teachers receive 22 fewer weeks of full maternity pay than many other public sectors- including DfE officials.

It's a major factor cited by woman in their thirties, who are leaving the sector in droves + hugely in tension with the govt's retention goals.

I want to believe reading full texts is clearly superior to reading extracts, but @ReadingShanahan explains we have no evidence for this claim and why it likely isn’t the case.

Full texts *and* extracts, with lots of quality talk & writing for the win.

@fiona_616 @The_GA Huge congratulations, Fiona. So pleased for you!!

Absolutely all of this.

First day back in school working since baby showed up in April and I’ve had such a good day - I know it’s Inset day, but going back after a long time off and just picking back up is such a nice feeling. Evening with baby now!!

[Hayley Wright @HayleyDraper8]

A very different end to an academic year for me, home on maternity leave. Feels very odd knowing I still won’t be back in September either, but blessed to hear about the department thriving. What a team #TeamEnglish

[Hayley Wright @HayleyDraper8]

Interested in your next career step in English?
With a fantastic team, a fully resourced curriculum and a Trust that actively supports individual's career progression, this could be the position for you:

To be clear, if you want to teach your kids this, crack on.
I disagree with the term being applied to AIC but it can be argued.
What I LOATHE is giving students high level vocabulary they do not intend to discuss/utilise. It’s superficial.
PS - AQA don’t like it either 👇🏻

[Hayley Wright @HayleyDraper8]

@MrSEngMed Priority of the higher ups to ensure that there are lots of STEM successes that can go into university? Other subjects not a priority for jobs?

[Hayley Wright @HayleyDraper8]

@englishspecial People stating that this is about students, but really this is about exam boards. The % required for an A/A* in Physics for example is at a minimum 20 percentage points lower than for Eng Lang. Exam boards can choose to give more students top grades in this subject.

[David Goodwin @MrGoodwin23]

Adaptive teaching: Scaffolds, Scale, Structure and Style.

@AlexJQuigley take on AT offers a fresh take on how we can adapt learning whilst maintaining high expectations for all students.

Received a letter today. @harrow_council have decided that a letter that was never delivered to me is my fault and I owe £195 because I didn’t pay a fine I didn’t know about. Insult to injury: the grammar in the letter is horrendous. I’ll use it for Year 7 literacy lessons.

[Hayley Wright @HayleyDraper8]

Really interesting (and short!) article about attainment in single sex vs mixed sex schooling. Definitely worth a read 👍🏻
