@Exiledstone @tombennett71 I've seen this said by principals and deputies...its not very inspiring.

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

‘At least they liked me,’ thought the hilarious teacher as his kids walked into the exam hall knowing nothing. ‘That’s the main thing.’

I've felt as though the response by many school leaders during COVID was so disconnected, but the concept of "toxic positivity" is so precise.

[Greg Ashman @greg_ashman]

Teachers can't keep pretending everything is OK – toxic positivity will only make them sick https://t.co/w6LRmtrB6T

@greg_ashman Yep... although it may be better to export as a word file then select text and change it to a proper font such as Times New Roman.

Just received a new book from Amazon. My daughter said "that's a lot of reading to teach like a champion!"

"I was a veteran teacher with 20 years of experience. I was shocked and mortified to find that a bunch of the things I was doing in my classroom are called out by researchers as scientifically unsupported no-nos." https://t.co/UlXARB1zsx

This clip of Barak Rosenshine talking about 'higher order thinking skills' is one of the single most important things for teachers to know about learning.

[Brian Webb @Brian_Webb]

@jarvis001 No. It's grandstanding. When the past is full of failures then why not talk about plans for the future! Pathetic really.

I have a bit of good news for those of you waiting for the slightly delayed Teach Like a Champion 3.0. While the hard copy version is a few weeks away, the Kindle version is available on Amazon as of today.

[Katharine Birbalsingh @Miss_Snuffy]

Teacher training and too many ppl in education campaign against what works.

They campaign for systems which result in little work from kids and staff being assaulted.

I get told the below all of the time!

…from teachers who are trying to do what is right.

Keep fighting! ✊🏾

I recommend this guest post by Australian Principal, Sue Knight, on @PamelaSnow2's blog, detailing her journey from Balanced Literacy to teaching that's in line with reading science. https://t.co/xXZWxRSqNR

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

Questions w obvious answers are killers of intellectual culture bc they pretend to ask a question when there’s really no question. Why are you asking me that? students think. If you’re often asked meaningless qs, you become skeptical of the questioner.

@greg_ashman I feel like I'm being lectured just reading this quote!
