GREAT twilight CPD session developing expert teachers through the use of our Teaching Playbook. Well done to @MichellePeavoy and our Teaching Working Party for leading the training. @CoopManchester #ExpertTeachers

[Mr Glover @Mr_Glover3]

Proud that our @CoopAcademies #waysofbeing are front and centre of everything that we do here at @CoopManchester

This week our Expert Teaching focus @CoopManchester is #7 ‘Ready To Learn’ - ensuring consistent, predictable routines to allow our students to learn in a safe, secure environment and acquire, retain and apply knowledge more effectively #knowledgeExperts

[David Scott @DavidScottCoop]

Super excited to have launched our Teaching Playbook for @CoopManchester. This is huge step towards ensuring a consistent approach to teaching and a predictable learning experience for our students.

@JGHT78 @Mr_Glover3 @m_chiles @JGHT78 drop me an email and I’d be happy to chat through the process we followed and the research that informed it.

@Tweeettweeeety @UhmitsMissB It’s retention of those new teachers too. I’ve seen so many great ECTs leave teaching altogether to peruse other careers.

[David Scott @DavidScottCoop]

@thosethatcan Reading these and many are the same as I’ve had with my kids … they are aged 2 to 9 😬

[David Scott @DavidScottCoop]

@Carol_Learning @tombennett71 The fact that they come to learn is the reason why we must ensure good behaviour. In a perfect world we would focus purely on pedagogy but the two go hand in hand. Saying that, I do try to use words like learning, engagement etc rather than behaviour.

[David Scott @DavidScottCoop]

@tombennett71 I love that you have proactive approaches and routines before consequences and sanctions. It’s not all about managing the behaviour that ‘happens’ in the classroom but creating a safe, secure, predictable learning environment.

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

A short summary of my basic principles of behaviour management. Feel free to share to anyone who might find it useful.

Finally finished for the summer (after seeing everyone else’s summer holiday posts since Friday)! School finished at 3:15, taxi booked for 5:00 and flight at 8:00 … it’s almost like I couldn’t wait to get away to somewhere sunny!

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

This kind of reassurance will go a long way to build confidence with the teaching profession. 👏🏻

[David Scott @DavidScottCoop]

@oldandrewuk Having a set of rules that support students in learning in a safe, predictable environment is essential - but they must be carefully considered, fair, proportionate and ultimately have the students’ at the centre of them.

[David Scott @DavidScottCoop]

@oldandrewuk Quite the opposite. Clear, consistently enforced rules (alongside appropriate support and adaptation) are essential for ensuring student are safe, happy, well and learning.

Quite the opposite. Clear, consistently enforced rules (alongside appropriate support and adaptation) are essential for ensuring student are safe, happy, well and learning.

[Andrew Old @oldandrewuk]

There's no good evidence that clear rules, consistently enforced, are bad for mental health.

There's no good evidence that clear rules, consistently enforced, are bad for pupils with SEND.

There's no good evidence that clear rules, consistently enforced, make kids less happy.

@mr_spayne Try having three days left 😬

[David Scott @DavidScottCoop]

Detentions can reinforce high expectations, set routines and ensure consistency of behaviour in a school. They don’t, however, work this way for all students and schools must consider the most effective ways to ensure students are behaving in a manner conducive to learning.

[David Didau @DavidDidau]

Do detentions work? https://t.co/T7JoXZ8DUb (this applies to all school sanctions)

[David Scott @DavidScottCoop]

@GEvansSLT @DavidDidau I like the analogy of the speed camera. Very true!
