There’s so much in this that strangely translates usefully into dealing with belligerence in the classroom. Calm, dignity, opportunity to correct, clarity of expectations, concern for all parties, maintaining the safe environment. Probably more swearing than you’d normally use. H/T @adamboxer1

@oldandrewuk 27 of those kids will be doing what you say because they are at school to learn and don’t cause issues. It’s the other 3 kids where the good relationship is needed to support managing their behaviour.

@amymayforrester I started to count my emails at first, but then I realised was 26+ was the biggest option and knew I could just select it 😂

@PlayBlooket Is there an issue with Blooket today? My subscription is due to renew at twice the price, yet I can't get any games to load. I click host and a new tab opens, but it just stays a white blank screen.

[Mr Hoofe @dhoofeMFL]

@miss_mcinerney It may be different in secondary, but cover implications could also be a factor.

[Nathan Burns @MrMetacognition]

Me, when yet another person, who has never been in a classroom, says that every kid should get to go on a school trip regardless of how poor their behaviour has been.

[Mr Hoofe @dhoofeMFL]

@adamboxer1 Workload in general impacts desire to complete CPD. I sit in a CPD session stressing about the marking, planning, assessment, phone calls etc etc I could be doing instead of a session which is nothing new and often irrelevant.

An amazing send off for an amazing year group; the most positive atmosphere, the kids were great! Can’t believe that’s already my second time delivering a Leaver’s Assembly already!

[Mr Hoofe @dhoofeMFL]

@tombennett71 A better analogy would be implementing a new policy without training on how to apply it. It should be part of planning and delivery but often is assumed staff will just know or feel confident enough to. Resources are there but the stewards haven’t been trained enough on ‘how’

@heymrshallahan @TeacherTapp On-Call and Isolation.

500 day streak is nothing compared to some, but pretty crazy how long it’s been since I didn’t answer a question @TeacherTapp

[Mr Hoofe @dhoofeMFL]

@TTRadioOfficial No, staff using their phones in lesson will be using it for work related reasons. We’re professionals, and should be treated as such.

[Mr Hoofe @dhoofeMFL]

Another fantastic reward trip for our year 11s, they’ve worked incredibly hard in their mocks and a day at Alton Towers (before their Mock Results morning tomorrow!) was well deserved!

[Mr Hoofe @dhoofeMFL]

@missdcox I had no idea what this was on yesterday’s @TeacherTapp , never heard of it!

[Mr Hoofe @dhoofeMFL]

@MBDscience Perhaps I took the ‘all of the time’ too literally, but I feel that following the behaviour policy 100% of the time is not possible. We differentiate to suit the learning needs of learners, we should also differentiate to suit the behaviour needs of the student.

[Mr Hoofe @dhoofeMFL]

Actually marking assessment papers (almost) within 24 hours of getting them. I’m a changed teacher 😂

[Mr Hoofe @dhoofeMFL]

@HeyMissSmith For pupils in areas where family have never been to university this could surely help promote the idea of going. Especially for those pupils who want to go into teaching when they’re older. Teachers are some pupils only role models, and if it helps a few then it’s doing no harm.

[Mr Hoofe @dhoofeMFL]

@profprofMFL @ThtPedagogyGeek @HeyMissSmith It’s a tax, not a debt. Sure, it reduces my take home pay but it’s not something I have to worry about.

[David Thomas @dmthomas90]

Poor school attendance is the biggest problem facing Britain today, in terms of its long-run impact. It's good that everyone's talking about it this morning, but I'm not convinced we've got the right solutions.
