@adamboxer1 The greatest do now ever, as mentioned last night, has got my classes doing homework! Now to try dttbd to get the last stragglers as we’re not allowed to give a detention for not completing homework

Doing Christmas a bit differently this year…

[Archie William @MrL_Hist]

Well today I felt like a proper grown up:
-Meeting with an ex teacher/mentor (the amazing @hb_history)
-Attending my final ect conference
-Flu jab done
One more week, enjoy half term when it comes everyone

If anyone on here is interested in running the Manchester marathon next year (sold out), please consider running for the pagers association - a great charity my dad works with.

@adamboxer1 Not sure how I’ve just discovered the podcast, I know what I’ll be listening to on the commute to work for the foreseeable future

@MissEmmaTurner I’ll send it tomorrow, it used to be on bbc good food but seems to have disappeared so will have to get it from my mum

[Archie William @MrL_Hist]

@adamboxer1 A bit late to the party but our kids first day back was today. I tried this out and I couldn’t have asked for a better first lesson with a class, it went so smoothly. No death by PowerPoint expectations this year! Still things to refine, but it felt good, thank you for sharing

@MissShakesparke Where is this from? I’m looking at getting one myself, currently using atlases stacked on top of a cupboard 😂

@hb_history I went in to sort out my classroom today and found 5 buried at the back of a cupboard, nearly cried tears of joy

Hi edutwitter, one more day to go for me! I was wondering if anyone has any experience in teaching ocr entry level history? I’ve just got my timetable and found out I’m teaching it next year in our inclusion centre, very excepted but also don’t know where to begin!

[Archie William @MrL_Hist]

@Counsell_C @Strickomaster This is what my SCITT was like last year, training days more focused on teaching with some afternoons on history. I do feel that this is where there may be a difference in approach in SCITT compared to a university based PGCE from conversations with peers. Signed up the webinar

I have two copies of The Visualiser Handbook to give away.

This is for busy teachers who need concise clarity to make live modelling an effect part of their practice ASAP.

To enter, follow, like and retweet this post and I will draw winners at random on the 18th July.

New one for me - hospitality for my dad’s birthday. You reds

@MrRobHistory @hb_history This is my diy set up. Better than nothing and I still have the main desk. Moved to the middle as well as I have a better view and have seen a massive improvement in behaviour

[Archie William @MrL_Hist]

Hi everyone. I’ve been asked to help with the delivery of some CPD in school about using visualisers and was wondering if anyone had anything that would be good to look at or tips to share? Looking at how they can be used to aid teaching and any specific strategies. Thank you
