Etsy has done *something* that’s seen everyone’s sales fall off a cliff over the last few months 😓 if you could give our little shop a visit or RT this, I would be so grateful ❤️

Lab techs - we're moving to 50 minute lessons next year. Any hacks to get equipment out to students quickly.

@adamboxer1 I miss old twitter. Has Blue Sky improved?

Goodbye to the class of 2026. Had some of these guys since they were in Y7. As we said farewell, I gave the unifying message of doing the right thing, at all times.

[HelpfromHobson @HelpfromHobson]

@adamboxer1 All good so far. Every monday my A Level classes arrive and complete questions from the pack in retrieval books. Trying to emphasise the importance of actually practicing.

I have launched Carousel Learning with Y12 and Y13 in the last month. Always reflecting and refining.

[Adam Boxer @adamboxer1]

Updated stats on my exam classes' quizzing habits:

Homework quizzes:

Year 11 have answered a minimum of 1600 questions since Sept (they answer each question in the quiz at least twice)

Year 13 have answered a minimum of 1160 questions (they answer each question at least once)

Study packs: students have created these quizzes themselves, and there's a lot of them.

Whiteboard: these are the quizzes at the start of every lesson, so Y11 have done an additional >200 questions. Year 13 is less, because we often start with an exam question instead.

Completion rates are VERY high. It takes a big effort in the first month of the year, then takes care of itself with a little maintenance after that.

Because I use Carousel Learning's revolutionary C-Scores, I know that students aren't just answering LOTS of questions, but they are perfectly pitched in terms of their difficulty and relationships to spacing and the forgetting curve.

I am REALLY pleased with these numbers, and I definitely couldn't do it without Carousel Learning. There's no doubt it is making a huge difference to their knowledge and understanding 💪💪

@adamboxer1 @Carousel_Learn Thank you

Carousel Teaching has changed my practice, and today I relaunched Carousel learning with Y12 and 13. Any advice on ensuring successful implementation of it? @Carousel_Learn @adamboxer1

@adamboxer1 @Carousel_Learn Smashing your starter. Just started implementing talking in a whisper.

Completed my first unit on Carousel Teaching @Carousel_Learn and have now prepared my department CPD. It is not only making me a better teacher, it is also making me a better leader.
