Second day of studying ice cores with year 8! I hope they don’t melt today… the pupils or the ice cores!😂 #geographyteacher

Talking About Forgetting with Students

How we frame forgetting in the classroom could use an adjustment.

I work, read and think in the wake of @teacherhead's wonderfully intelligent experiments, observations & adjustments in schools.
Working from first-hand experience, & not top-down from books (he does read though!), he saw the truth of coaching being, at heart, problem solving

[oliver caviglioli @olivercavi]

Teaching is problem solving and, as such, shouldn't be seen through the lens of teacher evaluation.
I wrote this recently and was absolutely delighted to get a thumbs up from none other than @SCottinghatt.
Inspired by Surpassing Ourselves (Bereiter & Scardamalia) & @teacherhead

The #Mediterranean Sea is becoming one giant warm bath. What was predicted for the 2030s is happening now "faster than forecast." Sea surface temps are higher by 5°C in some areas. It's no wonder the land is also scorching. #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming

[Scott Duncan @ScottDuncanWX]

It is official.

The Mediterranean sea surface temperature has just set a new heat record. The average sea surface temperature just hit a staggering +28.15°C.

18 out of the top 20 hottest days for the Mediterranean sea surface have been observed in the last 13 months alone.

Incredible photos taken inside Category 5 Hurricane Beryl yesterday.
The aircraft was collecting data for NOAA's research into hurricane forecasting.

Thoroughly enjoying seeing these popping up around the school - a strong culture around homework is a crucial part if a school's long term memory strategy 💪💪

Best wishes to all those celebrating the life of the wonderful #TimBrighouse.

This list is still the thing that has the most impact on my teaching career, how I want teachers to be and how I run a school.

The Economist: "China has become a scientific superpower"

Rare for me - maybe even unprecedented - to praise the Economist but this might be the seminal article on the current status of China's scientific might.

If only we had detailed information telling us the climate is changing far faster than any time in human history...
...and if only we had an unambiguous physical explanation for why those changes have occurred...
...then some politicians would still deny any problem exists.

One of the other worries I have about the proliferation of posters and summaries and stuff is that great teaching isn't about trying to implement a bazillion different types of strategy, it's about getting into amazing habits and routines with just a few.

[Adam Boxer @adamboxer1]

Practical solutions for not being a slave to PowerPoint:

With Springboard, you have slides, and you can use them with a whiteboard, interactive whiteboard, tablet or visualiser to build an explanation. What you can't do is just mash your way through them.

You have to -with support from the teacher book- build the explanation yourself.

#HowIUsedGISToday

Check out this excellent GIS app that allows you to explore in 3D the Wadati-Benioff zone & other seismic patterns in the mantle. Could be used either as teach from the front by pupils. Hour of endless fun with this GIS app!

This graph is a testament to how absurdly warm global sea surface temperatures have been over the last 12 months. Out of all the data visualizations I have posted on here so far, this might genuinely be the most alarming one.

This is not normal, but also not entirely unexpected.

We'd better prepare for the extreme climate chaos that comes with an Atlantic Ocean that's 1.5 °C warmer!
