Home for #BeardED Educators...and non-bearded ones, women (bearded or otherwise) & children...well, perhaps not children! Tweets Education & Beards (Parody-ish)
I’ve tweeted it before but I’ll tweet it again. I find it so frustrating that 5% of children take up 95% of our time. It just doesn’t seem fair sometimes on 95% of children.
If you care about giving children the love of reading, make sure you give schools & libraries proper funding. Make sure you give teachers & librarians the resources they need. And make sure reading for pleasure is the heart of your education policy - not endless joyless testing!
I just don’t get why people would get children to write the date and LO in their book? It’s the biggest waste of time and has no impact on learning. As long as you express to the children the LO through the teaching, you’ve covered that base. Why waste valuable learning time?

My big son who is 19, passed his test for his HGV class 1 today. Not quite the 34 A stars and 22 A's some parents have been sticking up about their kids on social media over the last day or so, but Im proud as punch. Great kid doing a great job of making his way in the world.
Word of the Week PP slides for tutors until Feb (thanks to @Mr_P_Hillips for his excellent word roots work-an inspiration for this). The PP is for Y7-13 with no apologies about the level of difficulty! Includes word usage questions, thinking questions+more https://t.co/1r8d7kZ7Jy
If you're teaching time in this coming year, and you haven't read this blog by @ClareSealy, I suggest you do it immediately. It's an invaluable read before teaching one of the hardest bits of maths to teach.

Here’s my 10 picturebooks for Year 1. Getting really hard now as there are too many to choose from. Links to other lists at the end of the post.

Ok so this book by Melanie Watt explores the Kubler-Ross (1969) model, a model of emotions that people go through when they experience a life changing event. That’s pretty out there for picture book (and I’ve read a few)... #picturebookpage
Don’t get hung up on the things you can’t change in schools. Focus on the things that makes a difference and that you can make a difference
First and foremost that means the teaching in our classrooms.
Create a climate where your teachers can do an amazing job.
