It was a privilege to be invited to the Home Office and be involved in this as an advocate for male victims, speaking directly to those Ministers who can push for change...

[Dame Nicole Jacobs @CommissionerDA]

Survivor voice is at the core of my work.

Last week, survivors shared their experience of navigating DA services and their ideas for change with ministers and my office.

Read my latest blog reflecting on those powerful conversations: https://t.co/LdMKotZSoe

[Samantha Billingham @SammieB1980]

Absolutely thrilled and delighted that over 100 male survivors took part in the Our Own Words 2026 Survey.

I’m hoping even more will take part in Our Own Words 2027 Survey.

If you are a male who has experienced domestic abuse, I would encourage you to take part in the anonymous survey by clicking on the link below 👇

Really important money and funding but again another government simply cannot bring itself to say "this funding also supports men and boys too". Male victims of domestic abuse continue to be narratively erased. #vawg

*Annual Reminder*

Us British Muslims are NOT offended by Christmas. We don’t want it cancelled. Sing your carols and put up your trees and wish us a happy Christmas too!

Don’t let anybody try to tell you otherwise. It’s just another way to divide us!

@UnofficialOA Which possibly explains why when I asked the question: "How long can we expect inspectors to spend in class on one of their lesson visits?" in muliple Ofsted webinar updates I atttended, it was always ignored, and never answered. 🤷‍♂️

[ManKind Initiative @ManKindInit]

If you are a man going through domestic abuse or know someone who is – there are services in your local community that can help. Check out our directory of local services - https://t.co/oBYbRWC1fR #MenYouAreNotAlone

[ManKind Initiative @ManKindInit]

It is Supporting Male Victims of Domestic Abuse Day today – with organisations across the UK publicising the support they for men where they live.

@Miss_Snuffy If anyone ever owes me an apology, I pray that this is how I get it. What character! And I have always said: humility is one of the most underrated virtues!

[Schools Week @SchoolsWeek]

@Ofstednews Oliver says Ofsted will 'back' schools 'in upholding high standards of behaviour...backing head teachers to enforce rules and routines, because it is neither inclusive nor acceptable to acquiesce to the unacceptable behaviour of one pupil at the expense of the other children'

[Nick Mathers CMgr @QM_Nick]

@BarryNSmith79 What do you mean?

[Nick Mathers CMgr @QM_Nick]

Why I always have the upmost respect and admiration for our teachers, wherever they are in their journey in the profession: they do what they do from the heart and are trying to fulfil a 'calling'...

@BarryNSmith79 @ModestTeacher Perhaps when you're doing consultancy things, setting up schools delivering CPD that doesn't give you the strongest platform to assert how many hours a teacher actually works - particularly at home?

[Nick Mathers CMgr @QM_Nick]

@BarryNSmith79 @ModestTeacher Probably the first post of Barry's I've ever disagreed with. Quite wide of the mark here imo.

[Tom Golden | Men Are Good @trgolden]

The war on male identity didn’t start overnight — it was engineered.
If you’ve felt it, here’s why.

[Nick Mathers CMgr @QM_Nick]

High frequency questioning. Interesting...
#pedagogy

[Pritesh Raichura @Mr_Raichura]

This September, if you are looking to improve your classroom practice, one of the highest-leverage but underused strategies to try is HIGH-FREQUENCY questioning. Not note-taking, not copying definitions, not retrieval starters. What do I mean? 1/

[Nick Mathers CMgr @QM_Nick]

Truly astonishing. Yet they will still receive criticism for their methods... 🤦

[Katharine Birbalsingh @Miss_Snuffy]

GCSE results are OUT!

First time we have achieved this!

Congratulations to everyone!

Social mobility at its best! 🥰

[Nick Mathers CMgr @QM_Nick]

Simple, but very effective...
#LessonReview

[Stephanie Howell @mrshowell24]

This simple activity encourages deep thinking and meaningful learning.

-Identify 3 key facts learned.
-Summarize the lesson in one sentence.
-Connect the lesson to the real world
-Share something they enjoyed about the learning experience.

The best way to be ready for an exam is to know lots of things, securely. That takes:
1. Calm environment
2. Effective instruction
3. Formative assessment
4. Curricular coherence
5. Retrieval
And all the rest of it. That’s the best of it.
But cramming, while not the recommended strategy by itself, can boost your short term retention right before the match. I can’t knock anyone, or any school that does this *as well* as focussing on 1-5. I did this as a kid. I turned up, listened the first time, made notes, revised them that week, then weeks before the exam…but also cram-sprinted the night before. And that helped.
Good on any school trying to do all of this, and good luck to every student doing anything they can to get ahead.

[Katharine Birbalsingh @Miss_Snuffy]

Adolescence is a 15.

So you want schools putting on cinema sessions after school for year 11/12/13?

Instead of revision sessions for their GCSEs and A Levels?

We need phones banned, not more screen time.

This is pure theatre. 🙄
