Had the most DELIGHTFUL day returning to @ArkSoaneAcademy for the day. Other than the buzz of seeing old colleagues & pupils I taught, I felt immense joy from the incredible culture & teaching. What did I notice? 1/

Brilliant day today @ArkSoaneAcademy with my colleague.
A few years ago we were inspired by @Mr_Raichura at one of his science events there and today we finally got to see it all in live action! So insightful and refreshing.
A Huge thank you to @NTAScience and her team. Thoughtful practice. High standards. Proper CPD.

Here's my interview with science teacher extraordinaire, @Mr_Raichura, in which we discuss the what, when and why of his teaching methods.

Not trying to create a stir but i just interviewed @Mr_Raichura about his brilliant science teaching for the Sweat the Technique podcast. So interesting! You can watch him teach in the @Steplab_co "Great Teaching, Unpacked" documentary or watch the whole lesson here: https://t.co/D66wOL4nvF
Podcast will drop next week.

Our subject teams are deep curricular thinkers. Every day, I get the chance to work with people who LOVE their subjects. Big shout out to @michaeldoron's fabulous history dept for hosting a fantastic conference last weekend.

Our lessons are disruption free. We also believe that a strong school culture shapes the character of our pupils. We restored @Doug_Lemov's faith that 'strong and positive cultures were still out there'

And the best thing about all of this, as the students left the room - they were all so proud too!
"Thanks Miss, that lesson was great! I loved it. I didn't know I knew that much"
This is why you go into teaching.
Feeling proud of what our Year 10s can produce - all from memory.
