@adamboxer1 Keep an exercise book on your desk. Date every day. Note every single conversation, discipline (phone/ person) about a child and keep doing it forever. Saves incredible amounts of time and resists duplication.

[Mr D. Goodman CTeach @MrGoodmanSTEM]

@KJF239 @MissBird90 Oh no!

Biology Teachers!
Tickets are now available for this summer’s Adelphi teacher conference.
Please spread the word!

[Mr D. Goodman CTeach @MrGoodmanSTEM]

@cravenscience1 @adamboxer1 @MrARobbins @Mr_Raichura @MissBird90 I use books - title, Do now and date at the start of every lesson. Students write out the question if they don’t know the answer or just write the answer if they do. Means I can sweep room and see where gaps are in prep for re-teaching. Go through answers with cold call usually

Hugely humbled by the speed with which people have rallied behind my new account following my @Strickomaster account being hacked. Hugely appreciated.

Please do follow me (if you want to). This is my new account.

Instructional Coaching is everywhere at the moment, but is it all it's cracked up to be?

In this post, I explore eight reasons why Instructional Coaching often doesn't work.

@KJF239 Sorry to see this Kathy! Thinking of you x

[Mr D. Goodman CTeach @MrGoodmanSTEM]

@STEMyBanda @MissBird90 AQA has other issues 😂

[Mr D. Goodman CTeach @MrGoodmanSTEM]

@STEMyBanda @MissBird90 Think there’s a difference between the concept of combined science and the curriculum within the course. I’m sure we all have *many* opinions on what should actually be in specifications

[Mr D. Goodman CTeach @MrGoodmanSTEM]

@MissBird90 Completely agree! The headline is massively misleading and I’m with you that combined science is a perfectly rigorous course. I think the data is skewed from “separate sciences lead to A level” because of course it does if kids are interested in science

[Mr D. Goodman CTeach @MrGoodmanSTEM]

@MissBird90 I’ve always taken issue with “Science” as a collective term in schools. I know there are links and I know the practical management is the same etc but the content is fundamentally different. I have a Bio degree from an A Level in Bio, I don’t wish to teach the others but do.

[Mr D. Goodman CTeach @MrGoodmanSTEM]

@MissBird90 I think it’s interesting that the article ends with “we won’t mandate it but we want all schools to offer separate sciences” I don’t mind that so much, choice is important for everyone.

I do take issue with it being taught by “specialists” which will be retrained bio/chem staff
