@hipstahistorian @Miss_Snuffy I visited the school and saw teachers totally on board with her vision. Yes, I could. Strict approaches show what kids can become if you don’t put up with the nonsense.

@hipstahistorian @Miss_Snuffy And if they were, and didn’t step up to Michaela’s high standards of behaviour and focus, what then?

[Dave Grimmett @daveg5478]

Incredible results from an incredible school. With an unswerving, unapologetic singular purpose, great things can happen.

[Katharine Birbalsingh @Miss_Snuffy]

GCSE results out today!

I didn’t think such a stat was possible.

Super well done to the teachers and pupils at Michaela! 🥳

@MissPaget Minority report.
Kids love Maze runner too as a modern option.

How to get #TheTraitorsUK in to the classroom? I developed a fantastic recap game that my Year 11s have really enjoyed this week. Brilliant for revision purposes. Manageable in a ten minute starter. Give it a go!! @Team_English1

1/ What is the role of errors in learning? And what is an error, really?

The “Derring Effect”- making errors deliberately to improve learning, is newly described by Wong & Lim (2022).
It triggered some thoughts around errors, nerd out with me 🤓🧵:

New song for Emi? #AstonVilla

[Dave Grimmett @daveg5478]

@AVFCStatto Spread this far and wide people and repost please! Emi deserves a better song. Imagine this ringing out at Villa Park!

[Dave Grimmett @daveg5478]

@AVFCStatto can you share this, guys?
We need this song ringing out from the Holte soon…

[Dave Grimmett @daveg5478]

@emimartinezz1 you deserve a better song mate, so I’ve written one. Would love to see this ring out from the Holte End.

[Dave Grimmett @daveg5478]

@AVFC_News spread this one. Emi needs a new song!

[Dave Grimmett @daveg5478]

[Dave Grimmett @daveg5478]

@AVFCOfficial Spread this far and wide people and repost please! Emi deserves a better song. Imagine this ringing out at Villa Park!

@Saunders__G @Team_English1 @TheEnglishNetw1 @English_Dropbox @mr_englishteach @FunkyPedagogy @eduqas I can hugely recommend

[Dave Grimmett @daveg5478]

@bennewmark @Chris_Ofsted @HistoryKss That didn’t age well!
An important point nonetheless. Brentford aren’t easy. I’m going to Fulham on Tue. Fingers crossed we can get back to winning ways!

[Dave Grimmett @daveg5478]

What a piece of film making this is…

[Dave Grimmett @daveg5478]

@bennewmark @Chris_Ofsted @HistoryKss Immense today. Today was the first big test and we passed it. Creative, clinical, and solid at the back -completely nullified a team that have only lost 3 times all year. Villa absolutely on 🔥and as you say, it's been 20 years since I've been this excited about our team. UTV ❤️

[Dave Grimmett @daveg5478]

@Positivteacha Bonnie and Clyde.
Greatest ever film.

I really hope that other unions don’t allow the NEU members to carry the burden of this sector wide issue. #EnoughIsEnough “More strikes planned as teachers reject pay offer” https://t.co/o9iLSfHNtl
