I never post on Twitter - professional lurker - but I have to share these. My proudest moment as HoD - book vending machines as part of whole school rewards #teamenglish #edutwitter

@Xris32 24 per fortnight - I'm the Head of English but also an AP - small studio school.

This has been a labour of love - my GCSE Worlds and Lives scheme is finished. I LOVED making these lessons and hope they are useful to someone. If you're thinking about switching anthologies, please do it - they're such lovely poems!! https://t.co/JKnZSWf2vs

@SusanSEnglish I use this @SusanSEnglish and we love it. It 100% works for our students and I really appreciate that guy shared it.

Been a bit slow to upload resources to the Twittersphere, so here's the first of (hopefully) many that I've been working on...Paper 2, Q5 AQA on decriminalising drugs. https://t.co/rcVNTFLFTR
All credit for the slow writing goes to @SusanSEnglish - see her blog for more info!

@MissPaget @misssbaker @Team_English1 @FunkyPedagogy @HuntingEnglish I've got loads of AQA specific blogs: https://t.co/87sycv39lx This is paper 2 Q5, I'd also recommend blogs from @Xris32 @mssfax @stoneman_claire @TLPMsF @becky182O @MrsSpalding @Positivteacha @mrpeel @mr_englishteach @Mr_Bunker_edu @amymayforrester @Claire_Hill_ @helanvictoria

As a new AP for Teaching and Learning, I can't tell you how useful this course has been. Thank you for the team @AE_Growing for the support and encouragement. #npq

@JenniferKillick Just to cheer you up, my son got his Blue Peter badge this week. He wrote about Crater Lake and produced a piece of artwork based on the cover. He loves your books.

For AQA Language Paper 2: editable Q by Q placemats to scaffold independent practice. Help yourself 👍 @Team_English1 https://t.co/dUwaGyKBnR

@missgray_eng I had 'Marry a girl who reads'. We had one for my husband as well, but that was the one he picked for me.

[Dawn Murray @Mrs_D_Murray]

@FunkyPedagogy @media_walsh I feel this deep in my bones.

[Dawn Murray @Mrs_D_Murray]

@DavidNautilus1 No. I'd need a visualiser at least. I don't like having my back to the class and I like to keep a record of my models responses.

[Dawn Murray @Mrs_D_Murray]

@UnofficialOA I'm looking for an English teacher - an addition to an existing team to ease workload across the faculty. Our advert is open to every one, including staff who would like part time. I just want a great candidate.

@MissBarten I use tablecloths that you buy for parties. Much easier to put up.

A year ago my wee son Gabriel (12) was heartbroken to discover his love of woodwork was deemed uncool.

So in a bid to boost his insta followers (at the time a rather modest 6) Dad foolishly (?) reached out to the lovely people on twitter.

@english_MrsH @Team_English1 @SPryke2 @AQA Exampro and training materials on the AQA site.

@Dogearedtatty I haven't seen a Robin for ages and then on Friday there was one on my windowsill looking straight at me on the 4 year anniversary of my dad's death. It was him. I just know it.

In a Tory world addicted to library closures, this is important and wonderful to see. Manchester’s beautiful central library today. Packed with young people quietly studying @MancLibraries

[Dawn Murray @Mrs_D_Murray]

@BooksMbe Yes!

[Dawn Murray @Mrs_D_Murray]

We are adding to our team. Do you know a passionate English teacher that would love to work in a small school with big ideas, centralised planning and a minimal marking policy? Part-time considered for the right candidate. #teamenglish
