Can’t remember who shared this absolute beauty of a paper on here! I just want to say thank you though, it was a belter of a Paper 2 to go through the day before the exam! 11/3 LOVED it! Another year done 🙌👍

This is one of the best ways schools can support a student’s mental health: TEACH THEM WELL. Competence, and the confidence it brings, is addictive, reassuring, and the foundation of a secure sense of wellbeing. ‘I can do this. I understand things’ is a profoundly human way to flourish.

Whenever l am slightly disrespected by a man, I remember my favorite Michelle Obama lore. There's a story about them dining at a restaurant when they learned the chef used to be Michelle's high school boyfriend

Barack joked,
lf you were still with him, you could have been the owner of this nice restaurant."

Michelle replied,
"No. If I were still with him, he would have been President of the United States."
And that's the energy every woman should have about her own worth.

I observed a lesson in a school last week where they were revising Macbeth and it reminded me of this lecture I once gave to students aiming for a grade 7-9 in English Lit @FgcsInfo on Macbeth and Kingship
(Ideas ‘magpied’ from everywhere).

I miss teaching An Inspector Calls.😢

One of my fave lessons is when we discuss Mrs Birling.

I enjoy teaching new words and my students used to enjoy learning them so here’s one of the vocab starters I use to recall tier 2 vocab to describe Mrs B.

The reading gap

Approx one in four pupils move to secondary school without having met the expected standard in the key stage 2 national reading test.

This holds many of them back in secondary school, both in their English lessons and more widely across the curriculum.

Starting out in teaching can feel overwhelming, says Mark Enser as he shares a reading list for new teachers to help you become 'more thoughtful, more efficient and, hopefully, more effective'

'How do we ensure reading in schools is purposeful?' by @MrCranePE

A helpful blog - with a focused school example - of deliberate reading routines. This can be particularly useful for secondary schools who can leave reading instruction to chance.
