I am pleased to say my in-laws are safe and back home ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّٰهِ

I am passionate about developing students’ reading competence because as a youngster, I wasn't a particularly strong reader. This one-pager I created with @teacherhead, summarises five ways to weave reading into the curriculum. Tom’s original blog is here: https://t.co/Vj5LSB0bzx

A couple of weeks back @researchEDDur, I posed the question “how many students in your school can go a whole week and never be asked to verbally share their thinking?”.

Random share-

I genuinely believe it’s good for pupils to see friendship between teachers.

You ever noticed how their eyes light up a little when you have a casual chat with your bestie? Difficult to pin-point the reason but I think it does them good. 😊

Here’s the thing: Juries are vanishingly rare. 97% of criminal cases resolve via guilty plea — because people face far longer sentences if they go to trial (@NACDL). So in a crazy way, podcasts/media can be the first time that a “jury of one’s peers” actually hears the facts.
