The children are having so much fun thinking of names for the reindeer and creating their back stories.

We have some special visitors who turned up in school this week. Initially, one reindeer appeared, and the following morning a baby appeared too! #greatcaretaker #Excellenceandhappinessforall #edutwitter

#Teacher #Workload has always been an issue close to my heart & #edtech can help #teachers so much. I'm looking forward to discussing this critical issue with @TH_PatrickM @DanFitzTweets @SaysMiss & @rondelle10_b tomorrow at 1630. Join us via https://t.co/uTQ5P0JStZ #EduTwitter

Great discussion tonight #SLTchat Plenty to think about and take back to school. Thank you @Ambition_Inst for a great blog, too: https://t.co/q4tfmQSi0D

@Strickomaster @SLTchat Cracking answer. I think most teachers are inherently aware that they don’t know what they don’t know and this is maybe where imposter syndrome kicks in.

[Jackie Matthews @J1Matthews]

@SLTchat I think culture is the hardest aspect, particularly in a large school. It only takes 1 or 2 people to not be invested in the school’s vision for cracks to start showing. #SLTchat

[Jackie Matthews @J1Matthews]

@SLTchat By giving it status in weekly staff meetings. Allowing staff to share expertise, to read current research and share thoughts.
If leaders prioritise this, I believe staff will respond positively. We will all feel that sense of belonging to an intellectual community.
#SLTchat

[Jackie Matthews @J1Matthews]

@SLTchat Trying to do too much until the CPD becomes diluted and ineffective.
I believe it better to have a well thought through plan of action that is based on addressing needs identified and allows time for implementation into practice, too.

Thank you #NEDtalks6
Whatever we give our time to, is what we’re saying is important.
Wellbeing is intellectual belonging to a wider mission.
Why do we teach? Essentialism
Proving or improving?

@SLTchat I believe a big advantage is that it keeps development specific and manageable yet constantly moving forward. #SLTchat

[Jackie Matthews @J1Matthews]

@SLTchat I’ve found TLCs - Teacher Learning Communities - to be very effective. It’s group based working parties on a specific aspect of education or teaching, linked to the school’s improvement priorities, too.
#SLTchat

[Jackie Matthews @J1Matthews]

@SLTchat A pedagogy of continual learning and improvement. Knowing the expertise amongst colleagues and empowering them to share this with others. #SLTchat

[Jackie Matthews @J1Matthews]

Looking forward to #SLTchat in a few minutes!

[Jackie Matthews @J1Matthews]

Such a wonderful whole-school project that generated lots of important discussions.
