These videos are great - it was a pleasure to involved in them, albeit in a very small way!

Highly recommended for any secondaries looking for research-informed PD on reading, either as a starting point or as a refresher.

[David Goodwin @MrGoodwin23]

Some renewed attention for this today.

Plenaries are a cracking example of how we just completely misunderstood how teaching should be sequenced

Hey @Team_English1 - handy lil’ ‘Big Ideas’ poster for ACC. Been working well as a quasi-knowledge organiser in books!

Delighted that my 💜🌟 colleague @jltrueman has spearheaded the launch of our Reading Challenge @TrinityAcademyL.

Just another strand of our powerful reading culture we have developed.

As part of our school Remembrance activities, I asked staff to send me any of their favourite photograph's that they have of their family members during WWI and WWII. Here are some of the photograph's that have been sent through to me so far. #WeAreSouthShore

@TTRadioOfficial It’s obvious that teachers in such schools need additional time to meet the needs of the pupils

@TTRadioOfficial A harder school is a badly run school

Finally got around to reading the working paper on Professional Development and Cognitive Load by @Josh_CPD @ollie_lovell and @ArielleBoguslav with @Steplab_co

Excellent! A must read for PD/T&L Leads. We have such a growing body of research around classroom practice, PD, how to improve it, and what does and doesn’t work! We need to purposefully act on it now.

National Comic Book Day creates the perfect opportunity to read a comic book, or to be introduced to a previously unexplored literary art form. We have a selection of our wide range of titles on display, thanks you SSA student librarians for picking a great mix. #WeAreSouthShore

For new teachers starting tomorrow two pieces of advice, get your behaviour right from the start and try to work on questioning to help drive understanding.
