The people who are nice to you aren’t always being kind to you.

Saying what you want to hear is nice. People sugarcoat feedback to make you feel good today.

Sharing what you need to hear is kind. People speak honestly to help you do better tomorrow.

Candor is an act of care.

[Jon Tait 🎓 @TeamTait]

A perfect visual example from @Doug_Lemov @Inner_Drive @BradleyKBusch @geotayler of how combining ‘Cold Calling’ with ‘Wait Time’ can make questioning your classroom superpower 🦸‍♂️

Your daily focus becomes your life's purpose. In other words, every little thing you do becomes the future you. Keep this in mind when deciding how to use, spend, or waste your time.

[Miss McCormac @MissMcCormac]

Carry on reading indeed... 📚 😀

Listening to @DavidDidau speak about intelligent accountability in the final session of #rED22.

Some interesting points about transparency. Managers need to design systems that are open and honesty - but specifying our goals too precisely may not be helpful.

[Miss McCormac @MissMcCormac]

Fabulous day! Brilliant talk by the amazing @teacherhead . Feel so empowered having been surrounded by such an eclectic range of thinkers.

World Book Day, the FCA way! 💚💚💚

[Fulham Cross Academy @FulhamCrossAcad]

Yesterday we kicked off our week-long celebrations for World Book Day!

Students participated in a Sponsored Read (Happening all week during break time) and a book giveaway where students completed reading related tasks to earn free books.

And we are loving every minute here in sunny Shropshire!

Our Year 11s left for an exciting residential yesterday where they are mixing bonding, outdoor activities and revision for our PPE exams happening next week.

Its great to be out with them again after Covid has cancelled so many events for these students.

Monopoly is our #WordOfTheWeek this week!

This word has ruined many of game nights over almost 100 years but it is still one of the world's most popular board games.

Have you played Monopoly before?

What sentences can you create with this word?
