Thank you for all the brilliant suggestions, here is the box so far... I will add the stationary when I am in school on Monday. Kitten not included but clearly impressed. #teachertraining #survivalkit #BackToSchool #dontforgetthegin

[MissC @TeacherMissC]

Putting together a survival pack for my trainee. Obviously I will put some pens and post-it notes in there. I was going to put toiletries in there, any other items you think might be helpful for someone that is just about to embark on their teach training? #teachertraining

One of my students achieved their silver award from @idea_award and two others are close

@ashleigh_pain @mollselbs this might be of interest to you?

[MissC @TeacherMissC]

@HannaG___ We have them and in my opinion they work. I have found it helps reduce conflict between students and general disruption of lessons. Students that have them have a laminated card with their photo and its dated so it can't be "faked"

[MissC @TeacherMissC]

@GrumpyCompSci What ocr wanted them to do wasn't that difficult. It is how they have worded the questions that is the problem and it mainly focused on functions so little access for your lower ability students

[MissC @TeacherMissC]

@AALICompSci Same! All my students were so upset

[MissC @TeacherMissC]

@AALICompSci Not seen the paper but from what my students said the 8marker sounds nice. Lots of easy binary but then some very vague questions. So mixed bag?

[MissC @TeacherMissC]

Students have the best response to things! Told my year 11s I was pregnant, there response was "again?!"

August due date teachers... did you know that you can choose to work until the birth? This is a legal option, meaning you stay on full pay if baby is late 😊 mat leave would start automatically the day after the birth (particularly useful if you're due in the summer!)

[MissC @TeacherMissC]

@TeachButler 1) Lots of programming challenges
2)find some "winnable" areas for your lower ability/disengaged
3)fun competition I find quizlet live a good way to start a lesson

I've just had the call. I've refused entry. This is an interesting phone call.

Doing this for everyone for our school staff everywhere!

During my lesson observation last week a student, with full marks, asked me how they could improve their work. I surprisingly had an answer #highexpectations

My @idea_award lunch club is going well. So far 3 students have already achieved their #bronzeaward

[MissC @TeacherMissC]

Today I am smashing working mum 💪 6 period day + after school session. Rushed home for bath and dinner and now I'm waiting for parents evening. It is going to be weird being on the other side of the table..

Spreading the Christmas joy - Miss Colbourne's Grotto.
Surpringly the fairy lights did add a level of calmness to the room

@Elizabe65243369 @idea_award Thank you 😊

[MissC @TeacherMissC]

On Friday I launched my lunch time iDEA club where students who enjoy coding and technology could spend their time gaining a qualification. I was not expecting to have such a full room and what was most exciting - Girls! I had girls wanting to do this!

[MissC @TeacherMissC]

@HeidiCWatkins @idea_award I launched it in an assembly and gave students special lunch passes to allow them into the building during lunch time. We are all working on the same badges as this way they can help each other and it makes it easier for me to support

[MissC @TeacherMissC]

@MissWalkerPE Yes I know so thought this was the best way. Some of the students ate their lunch at break time to spend more time working and others ate and then attended
