🦋I have an account on #BlueSky with the same handle, the idea being to leave this one behind soon. Come say hello!

If you haven't tried yet, I recommend making the leap. The community there is getting more and more active, and feels like the #edutwitter of old.

@BFI I have two tickets in my basket for BFI Flare, but when I enter my details the log in page just refreshes. Can anyone advise on how to fix this? Thanks!

What the National Curriculum Review needs to get right about grammar to avoid the repeating the shortcomings of the previous reforms.

Grammar teaching may change in upcoming education reforms — but @LPearceLearning warns: unless curriculum, assessment & incentives align, we risk repeating a decade of mistakes that kept teachers from seeing grammar’s true value in daily practice. #NATE

Coming later this week, NATE guest blogger @LPearceLearning argues for a shift towards teaching grammar in context, where language knowledge fuels creativity and meaning, not just test prep. #NATE

I often think about how humanitarians in Rwanda said
'If only the world could see, if only they knew — they would act.'

Well, the world does see Gaza. The world knows. And there will be no excuses when the reckoning comes. The trials will last for years.

[Gaza Notifications @gazanotice]

🚨 SHOCKING REPORT: Israeli soldiers in Gaza are reportedly turning the targeting of Palestinian children into a horrifying and systematic “human-hunting game,” according to British surgeon Dr. Nick Maynard.
He testified: “These children are being targeted almost as if it’s a game… One day they’re all shot in the head, the next day in the neck, and another day in the testicles… There is a clear and deliberate pattern to the injuries.”

Thanks @LitdriveUK for a great #LitdriveCPD25

The speakers gave so much insight that informed my talk on grammar in the schools.

Secondary teachers are keen to use metalanguage to teach at sentence-level, but rarely supported to build on the grammar brought from primary.

[Mrs M Atherton @mrsmdatherton]

Thank you @LitdriveUK for a fabulous conference and particularly to @cmc_crea, @LPearceLearning, @FunkyPedagogy, @mrsmacteach33, @Xris32 and @mmgiovanelli for giving my head far too many exciting ideas to take back to my team at @EnglishErdAcad. #LitdriveCPD25
