When my year 7s asked me this week who changed society’s views on ethnic minorities I told that our young people have the best chance to influence our society’s perception on what is acceptable. This is a great example of why we should listen to our young people more often 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@AlwaysLearnWeb@Team_English1 First story is fantastic! Or ask local universities as their creative writing students/lecturers are often willing to help “the next generation”
Here is my complete Inspector Calls scheme with a focus on aiming for grades 7-9. Lots of challenging exemplars, discussion questions, contextual details and memory platforms etc. @Team_English1 https://t.co/Ov6mtkJ5os

@oldandrewuk I've said it before (e.g. in Hendrick & McPherson's "What does this look like in the classroom") but I'll say it again. Any school leader who says it is a good idea for teachers to mark everything their students do needs to think about what else could be done with that time.
New blog
“Tight to good, loose to outstanding”
On those schools that think improvement comes from making every teacher do the same thing.

So it’s ok to:
close school for all kids because of snow
take students on an official trip to Parliament, missing all other lessons
have kids on reception or school tours missing lessons
but it’s damaging their education to take part in an actual protest about something real?
