Sooooo mid assessment a lad, who is looking in his bag, screams OH MY GOD NO and burst into hysterical laughter. He then digs his grandma’s turtle out of the bottom of his bag. No. I’m not making it up. Yes. The rest of the lesson was a write off. 🐢

@StarlightMcKenz @FrasierShoes A- lack of resilience and a culture in school (time out cards clustered within friendship groups) b- parental request/ our own naivety that this was supportive c - genuine regulation strategies

[Mrs Henshall @MissRodgers17]

@StarlightMcKenz @FrasierShoes Again, thinking critically, it should be clear that a teacher is able to differentiate between a pupil wanting to avoid challenging lessons and a pupil with clinical anxiety and react accordingly.

[Mrs Henshall @MissRodgers17]

@FrasierShoes @StarlightMcKenz In our context, it’s typically not undiagnosed SEN, it’s a lack of resilience. Ppls leave lessons when it becomes challenging. Staff are professionals trained in recognising and responding to SEN needs. This sheet is not for that. We have other systems for supporting SEN pupils

[Mrs Henshall @MissRodgers17]

@bernese02 @becky_bridges Generally, we try to improve pupils’ literally skills rather than lessening the reading challenges they face. Pupils will need a high level of literacy to access their GCSEs/life. Those that struggle for reasons liked to SEN are given suitable alternatives.

[Mrs Henshall @MissRodgers17]

@Littlejems3 @becky_bridges Lessons are not traumatising, they are confronting and challenging. Pupils need resilience to cope with these feelings so they can cope better when these challenges arrive in life

@FrasierShoes @StarlightMcKenz This is not designed to support SEN pupils, but to support pupils who have previously used a ‘time out’ card to leave lesson when anxious. We have greatly reduced the number of pupils with these cards to ensure we are properly safeguarding pupils and encouraging resilience.

@becky_bridges Very disheartening ! But very clearly proves why we need to teach young people to manage their own emotions and build resilience and coping skills independently. 🤣I needed those skills today.

Hello all. Looking for some recommendations on evidence based cpd for improving school attendance (high school) ideally a webinar or book. Thank you! #attendance #improvingattendance

[Mrs Henshall @MissRodgers17]

@boohoo_cshelp hello. How do I email you please. When I try to do so via the website it says that you don’t have a phone number

[Mrs Henshall @MissRodgers17]

@blodwyn22 @Team_English1 I do a thing called ‘Pictionary’ which isn’t like Pictionary at all it’s one slide with an image, then part of the quote then full quote. Have about 50 quotes per text. We do it every lesson. You can just do recall or you can do a bit of analysis for each one. It’s game changing

@amy_smith117 Hello. Sorry I know you’ve had a lot of requests but please may I have a copy?

Breaking new school shoes in AND drowning in my own sweat in the same week seems unfair upon reflection.

[Mrs Henshall @MissRodgers17]

@VodafoneUK a bit fed up, I’ve not been receiving calls, having trouble with outbound calls and my phone doesn’t switch to 4g/mobile data when I’m out without Wi-Fi being manually switched off. It’s been 3 days!! 191 just says there is a fault. Any updates??

@Positivteacha I get what you’re saying but I’d argue that feminism is about choice. Not every woman has to be (or wants to be) a boss babe/fighter/breadwinner/pirate. We shouldn’t demonise girls wanting to be be a maid or a homemaker or anything ‘soft’/considered feminine.
