Never loose your sense of wonder with life

[Today Years Old @todayyearsold]

How old were you when you learned how to tie a tie in less than 10 seconds?

[SoL in the Wild @SoLInTheWild]

Think-Pair-Share has the widest gap between success and failure in the classroom. With clear prompts, tight timing, and real accountability, it’s a powerhouse for thinking. Toss it in without intentional design and it collapses into noise. With TPS, intentionality is everything.

Here's how T @MrRobHistory goes beyond "Any questions?":

[David Didau @DavidDidau]

NEW If we tolerate this, our children will be next.
The more excuses we make for bad behaviour, the more we teach kids that rules are optional, authority is negotiable, and responsibility is someone else’s problem. Imposing authority should be an act of compassion.

Going to blog but here’s a 🧵
There are too many distractions from the sustained hard work needed to deliver and maintain effective PD programmes that lead to improved teaching and improved outcomes. And I worry that just as we’re making progress, more distractions are coming

[Tom Sherrington @teacherhead]

Because the pegadogy-curriculum-behaviour agenda we already have is already the answer to these issues. Same for wellbeing. If we put every ounce of effort into improving the quality of the daily classroom experience of every child we’d make success for all a reality not a slogan

High quality learning, teaching and assessment is a result of a shared understanding of how learning happens and the WHY of pedagogy. There’s no silver bullet or quick fix - it needs to permeate every aspect of school life because teachers value the impact it has.

[Peter Lacey 🇺🇦 @ecarda1]

@lessonup @Headteacherchat Indeed.
There is more than one dimension to progress.

To mark the Last Night of the Proms, but also Scooby Doo's 55th birthday, I play the Scooby Doo theme tune in the style of the Russian classics. And I'd have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids... @bbcproms @BBCRadio3

If you're feeling burned out by the end of the week,

It's not just because of hours worked.

In reality, the roots of burnout run much deeper.

Leaders must learn to recognize when it's happening,

And work to make things better before it's too late:

[Dr. Catlin Tucker @Catlin_Tucker]

Student agency is one of the easiest ways that teachers can begin to personalize learning, thus increasing interest & engagement!

This dog's name was Gunner. My uncle brought him back from WW2. He was raised and slept under my uncle's anti- aircraft gun. The gun crew shared their
rations to feed him. By the time he was 18 months old, my uncle said he would stand up and look at the sky. If he laid back down they knew all was ok. If he growled
and put his hackles up they got at the ready. He knew the sound of the German aircraft and my uncle said he
never got it wrong. He said Gunner was better than any early warning system. I'm probably the only one left in the family that knows that story now, so I thought I'd tell it before it's lost forever, like many stories must be from that time. Thanks for reading it.
