I fixed it:

Teachers should be *rewarded* every 5 years to ensure they continue in the profession.

Teachers should be 'revalidated' every five years to ensure they have completed the required professional development to make the profession 'more intellectually engaging', a report has suggested

@BouchMaths ...
5) lastly, talk to their other teachers if you can, before to get some insight, or after to share your findings.

[Angel Lo-Pon Grantham @TheNerdLP]

@BouchMaths 1) take notes in to keep the meeting focused. What they did and how it affects their learning and the class. No feelings.
2) offer solutions or suggestions and ask the kids how they feel about it and if they would do that.

@BouchMaths ...
3) say that it's teaching and learning. You've got to work together and you'll do your part but they've got to do theirs.
4) if they're still struggling try and get a secret signal in class to show that they need help inconspicuously.

@jenhoganjourno Or just encourage them to read?

[Angel Lo-Pon Grantham @TheNerdLP]

@stowdawn 1000000% agree! We should be getting the bursaries or a paid sabbatical for milestones.

Hiking outside the UK can be one of the most powerful ways of understanding how naturally impoverished the British landscape is, particularly the high places and uplands.

A thread following a trip to the Alps which vividly reminded me of what we're missing. 🧵

@TeachLeadAAli My husand and I, both classroom teachers with 10 and 8.years experience respectively, are going to teach in China in the next few months.

Can't teach in this country anymore 😔

[Angel Lo-Pon Grantham @TheNerdLP]

They shouldn't.

The only reason to shout is stop danger.

No one likes being shouted at.

[James Brown @mrbrownpod]

A great question from one of my students:

“Why should we respect teachers if they’re shouting at us?”

I’m honestly not sure how to answer. Thoughts would be appreciated. I’ll be discussing it on the podcast later.

@TeachLeadAAli Remember you are the pebble... When thrown in a lake it sinks underwater and will never know how many and far reaching the ripples go.
