40% of new teachers leave the profession within their first 5 years. They arrive with a passion to nurture children - but leave because of the overwhelming task they face & the lack of investment in schools over the last decade crushes them. It’s time to invest our children.

@amy6313 @P__Hardy I taught my Year 10s all about expanded sentences and instantly saw an improvement! Thank you! I also used @FunkyPedagogy’s grid before they started their extended writing& it was the first time all term they didn’t ask me how to begin! Joyous day of teaching.

Think of context as a story: a story of the text, its author, the first reader, the first audience. It isn’t a chunk of information detached from the text. It’s some kind of story *about* the text

Teachers need to be kinder to themselves - and recognise that we're all remote-learning NQTs.

Big Questions for Language...

Thinking of changing my Language booklet to focus less on lots of information up front and more on a big question for each question
