#NewSchoolYearResolutions

1. Stay at school until 5/5.30 everyday (including Friday!) ⏰
2. Ensure I run at least three times Mon-Fri. 🏃🏻‍♀️
3. Continue to try new ideas in my lesson plans. 📝

This International @womensday, we’re celebrating all the remarkable women who make our club stronger 💜

As part of this year’s #GiveToGain campaign, we asked colleagues what they give to other women across the club to help them grow and succeed.

@matthewmoor3 @SPryke2 Yes! Reply with your email and I will send them over.

Using @SPryke2’s character Big Ideas for AIC with Year 11 today. We’re becoming well versed in identifying key phrases in Big Ideas, exploding them for synonyms that can then be used in responses to show an argument through. They loved it ⭐️⭐️

Wolves fans limbs in the famous South Bank stand against Aston Villa last night.

One of the best stands in the country 😍

@EnglishTASE @Ivesey2 I stapled my plastic folders to the wall today that they can help themselves to. I think they found it useful that they had autonomy over what they could revise, as opposed to a revision session led by a teacher.

[Miss D 📚 @Miss___D8]

Inspired by @EnglishTASE, we held our first ‘Revise and Socialise’ session tonight. So pleased with the numbers and it was so lovely to hear ‘are we looking at gender next?’ ‘Have you got this quote?’. Productivity goals 📈🙌🏼🤌🏼⭐️✅

@MrsJJones5 @SPryke2 They are on @SPryke2’s Dropbox but if you send me your email I can email them across ☺️

@EnglishTASE @TrinityAcadStE You have inspired me to do this with my Year 11s tomorrow! Very much looking forward to it.

@K2SR7 Hey! Can I ask what your acronym ‘FLIP’ the question means?!

[Miss D 📚 @Miss___D8]

@menzinhoo Thank you! We will definitely be trialing it with more methods.

[Miss D 📚 @Miss___D8]

Back on the Twitter hype after a spur on inspiration! Tried out structure strips with our Year 8s today which: clearly outlined our ‘core’ and ‘expert’ steps, had Key Vocabulary we wanted them to use and Literacy Codes. Trying to embed ‘Live Marking Looks for Literacy’! ✨✅✍🏻

@HighwaysNWEST No chance of turning the traffic around? Website said it’s not going to clear until 4am?

[Miss D 📚 @Miss___D8]

Has anyone started a TikTok for revision strategies for their students? Any feedback or tips?! (I’m talking actually for our students, not to try and become TikTok famous) 😅 I want to model how to revise, the steps to take, especially using school wide strategies. @Team_English1

[Brendan May @bmay]

No idea how yesterday happened. None at all.

[Lisa Timoney/Kate Storey/Naomi Williams @LTimoneyWrites]

Can you #help please? My elderly parents have gone missing in #Venice They got separated & my dad (with Alzheimer’s) has both their phones. They didn’t arrive back at the pick up point & no one knows where they are. They’re called Bronwen and Stan. Please share!

[David Scales @MrDavidScales]

This quote sums up better than I can what I feel about the situation in too many British schools and presents a call to arms for us about how to reverse these trends.

[Miss D 📚 @Miss___D8]

Does anyone have any strategies that have worked, either on department or whole school level, to encourage students (particularly boys) to just WRITE MORE in assessments, especially mock exams? Thanks in advance.
