Never more so has mental health been important for educators. With 12 years in the classroom, I recognise those challenges for teachers and school staff and offer discount of my counselling service to all teachers. #mentalhealthmatters #JustCounselling https://t.co/LnG2DZLiM8

So it was a good day yesterday as, after 4 years, I passed my course and can now call myself a fully qualified counsellor!

Still love this book! How else can we space out practice in lessons?

@mrpeel @shadylady222 @Team_English1 So many great extracts in God of Small Things that are beautiful examples to use - I agree!

[Becky Wood @shadylady222]

Hello @Team_English1 Can you hit me with your favourite descriptions of either character or setting. Thank you! 😊

@shadylady222 @Team_English1 Couldn't help adding one more - The opening of Dexter was also a go to! #excitedbywriting

@shadylady222 @Team_English1 I LOVED using extracts from The God of Small Things to teach description. #excitedbywriting

‘5 Things I Wish I’d Known about Literacy’

So much of literacy - reading, writing, listening, vocabulary development - is wrongly assumed to be natural and innate for too many pupils.

@Ria1984 With my year 8 low set, we used joint docs like a Google Doc or a Classnote book so as they filled it in I could see their work and type immediate feedback. I liked bookmarking lessons. Start together and end together so they bring back what they've done.

@burgessdave Also.... How good are Shaun Tan's books for teaching philosophy!
