@adamboxer1 @Suchmo83 I'd agree for some skills at KS3 science, the visualiser is the better tool. How you hold the pen, rotate the paper, construct the circuit etc is just better with a visualiser. I love OneNote, but it can't do everything I want it to.

@adamboxer1 Kieran Larwood's dungeon runners series is pretty awesome. He has books for older kids too.

@MrMetacognition I think ignoring what you *think* you're good at can be dangerous too. It's really hard to effectively RAG anything. Putting all of your attention on your perceived weak spots risks letting your strengths suffer. I have to ask pupils to RAG but I think it's mostly time wasting.

@adamboxer1 It pains me that it does, but it happens. (1) Does B have substantial responsibilities impacting their work (2) Is B getting the development they need to narrow that gap? (3) Does anyone care that the gap arose? (4) Who protects teacher A from the fallout?

@adamboxer1 Context matters, it depends on the pupils and the school. Used well they really do change the game, especially for SEND/EAL. Ad hoc IT use can't be compared to well trained, thoughtful practice. Adaptive teaching at its best. Tests/exams/practice exams on paper, if possible.

@LucindaKeal @adamboxer1 Have been in your shoes. It's really tough, I found comparing my test results to everyone elses' for each unit test helpful. Didn't win me any friends, though!

[Kashby @Kate_Phys]

@LucindaKeal @adamboxer1 *spotted not sorted! And they may not look how you expect them to look.

[Kashby @Kate_Phys]

@LucindaKeal @adamboxer1 If they can see results they may come round? It's a long wait for that first set of GCSE results! If they have a PLC, volunteer. If they don't, offer to start one. There are likely people who agree with you, they're just in another department and haven't sorted you yet.

@adamboxer1 Kids can't manage to get to the front of the line to pee at break, or get to the front of the queue to buy lunch at lunchtime. Their stressed teachers are seeing 200 kids in a day. Schools near me are overcrowded, understaffed and the breaks are too short. This breaks some kids.

So impressed with the #courage and #eloquence of these two @PriorPark students who spoke in Friday's #neurodiversity assembly. They were passionate advocates for the type of education that we offer here at Prior Park - truly #inclusive and #caring.

@doublestops8 @Teacherglitter There is research out there that backs this approach. Y7 are more likely to get split teaching (i.e. multiple maths or English teachers) and that is demonstrably not good for them (or their teachers)

@TeacherTapp Is it a surprise to anyone that AP Physics 2 (and then AP Chemistry) are Chat GPT's worst subjects?

@TheWave booked a beginner's lesson for my son. Do we need to book spectator tickets? Will we be ok to go and watch without one?

@AhmedKhattabUK Can help to regularly say 'imagine this was a maths question'... Disproportionately so. When I taught both maths and science it made a big difference to how I framed maths in science.

@caslonantique @adamboxer1 She had a lovely time today! I do miss Barbie from my old work who had knee length purple hair.

@dgs_science @DrWilkinsonSci Argh!! 1.7 *metres*

[Kashby @Kate_Phys]

@dgs_science @DrWilkinsonSci Tallest freestanding tower using 1 sheet of A4 paper. My record is about 1.7 cm, I am told over 2m is possible.
