THREAD – Just some thoughts on what goes into launching successful policy/system changes as an SLT. We’ve had some real successes launching things like Silent Do Nows but throughout my career I’ve seen (and partaken in) countless bad launches. Here’s some of what I’ve learned:

@DalaiLlamaTeach @misseteaches1 @MrTs_NQTs On this- the Hydrate M8 one I’ve just bought is the best one I’ve had in 15 years. Highly recommend!

@FreyaMariaO @Team_English1 The doors in Jekyll and Hyde

[Jody Colclough @MissColclough]

@Cornishwelsh Totally agree. Setting for today and tomorrow took me 4hours today and I’m still not convinced they’re deliverable by a non-specialist!

What are your favourite unseen poems to teach? Got a really switched-on y11 group and want some new ones to throw into the mix!

A thread with links to some literacy resources on my site... A couple of booklets, a couple of short blog posts, some tutor time reading documents and a few other bits #TeamEnglish

I've got 3 copies of #theboyquestion to give away. To be in with a chance of winning one, simply retweet, then reply with the most memorable question a student has ever asked you.

I'll pick 3 winners from the best answers at 6pm on Sunday.

Collating examples of really great little microscripts for managing challenging behaviour. Mine:

Hit me with yours.

@KhallKirsty @Amandabellamy13 @MsEmilyBarber @ofqual Excellent. Thank you!! I really appreciate you following this up!

@amateuradam Maybe they’ll go like storms and use names. The Adam variant? The Brian variant?

[Jody Colclough @MissColclough]

@KhallKirsty @Amandabellamy13 @MsEmilyBarber @ofqual That was my reading, and what I did this year, but my head asked the question and asked me to find where it says you don’t actually need to record and I couldn’t find it!

Oh my god. What a week. Thank gawd it’s the weekend.

Packs bag to take home...

Am definitely going to be contacting Ofsted tomorrow to let them know about my daughters' schools. They need to be aware of how hard every single member of staff is working, in almost impossible conditions.

@joanieclothing I’m re-reading Austen’s Pride and Prejudice because I need a little comfortable familiarity right now! 😍
