Choice in primary schools. Should children be able to choose their learning? Do you do this? Is it impactful or nice?

[AndyEdu @Andy405T]

https://t.co/uZrvOH6xNr. Is there going to be an impact?

Yes, let’s get some time on the ol EYFS sector!

[AndyEdu @Andy405T]

@JamesAFurey I think this would be different in the uk. Teachers wouldn’t go near offering a diagnosis and no one would touch expectations.

[AndyEdu @Andy405T]

Next year is the year of reflection. Not just going to do the same old. We encourage children to think, time for me to do it more.

[AndyEdu @Andy405T]

Have you ever paused and reflected on you signature pedagogy? I’d summarize mine as: relational, direct and oracy centric. What’s yours?

[AndyEdu @Andy405T]

@WritingRocks_17 Try telling my English lead! They are terrified of making mistakes here. Result - limited writing.

[AndyEdu @Andy405T]

@JamesAFurey You’re right. It doesnt mean that your child is more important than others. Society doesn’t put up with it, why should school.

[AndyEdu @Andy405T]

@norchcity It’s never minor. No one in education wants to exclude but there is only so much the majority can take.

[AndyEdu @Andy405T]

@Thinkingschool2 Absolutely. And that takes really strong and focused leadership.

[AndyEdu @Andy405T]

@JamesAFurey Flipping exhausting. It grinds you down. It’s horrible knowing you’re being a moaning Mary but it’s hard not too.

[AndyEdu @Andy405T]

I’ve just engaged with the Ofsted proposed coloured grading system. Is this not just one word judgements but prettier?

[AndyEdu @Andy405T]

Do you have Professional learning communities in your school?

[AndyEdu @Andy405T]

Yes we need direct instruction but we also need to encourage space for independent thought and curiosity.

[AndyEdu @Andy405T]

Education with the future in mind, this what we need.

I feel that there is a lot unnecessary stuff written. I read stuff and just think…’well duh’.

Our EYFS sector has been left to flounder for so long. Really undervalued so this sort of thing is valuable.
