🎁 FREE GIFT: FULL ROSENSHINE CPD PACK!

To celebrate 50 consecutive weeks of ⚗️DistillED, I’ve put together something quite cool…

Over the past year, Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction has been one of the most requested topics from teachers and school leaders. So I’ve put together a complete, ready-to-run CPD pack to help schools explore and implement all 10 principles.

The download includes:

→ 10 CPD PowerPoints (ready for 30–45 min sessions)
→ 10 strategy checklists (practical classroom actions)
→ 10 planning templates (put principles into action )
→ Covers all 10 of Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction

Everything you need to run ten focused CPD sessions — one for each principle.

👉 REPOST and comment ROSENSHINE and I’ll DM you the link. Cheers!

⏰ Available until Sunday 22 March!

There’s an ever changing sense of how we as a country think about the role of government. Here’s what FDR had to say on this day in 1936.

“If you think the world is selfish and rotten, go to the cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer overlooking Omaha Beach. See what one group of men did for another on D-Day, June 6th, 1944.” — Andy Rooney

Life is short. No matter how long we live, it's fragile. Tomorrow is never guaranteed. So we must not postpone our living. We must not delay taking the leap. We must not wait to chase the things that make us feel most alive.

[Pritesh Raichura @Mr_Raichura]

Teaching is as intellectually stimulating as it is rewarding. Every day, I think not only about how to get my pupils to grapple with tricky content but also about how I can push my pupils to become better people. How many other professions are so fulfilling?

Great thread on importance of strong culture as catalyst for improving instructional practice ⬇️

[Sarah Cottinghatt @SCottinghatt]

Working with schools and trusts has taught me a very valuable lesson.

There’s almost *no point* in talking about improving teaching practice without one key thing:

A *shared mental model* of how people learn

Why is this so important? Let’s break it down...🧵

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it. In honor of #MLKDay, I hope you’ll do what you can in your community to create a better future for us all.

The right to vote is precious, almost sacred. It is the most powerful nonviolent tool or instrument we have in a democratic society. And we must use it. #goodtrouble
