Great blog. First 20 mins are crucial. Individual activities for fluency and practice, picking up something from a lesson the day before, language work for EAL, all organised by teacher.
Set your expectations the second they walk into your classroom.

Here's a Google Drive link with the badly completed arithmetic and reasoning papers from 2017-2022 featuring common misconceptions and errors to use in lessons. I shared these recently but had issues with Dropbox, so here's an alternative! https://t.co/FaYtELHy3l

Here is the montage BBC Sport aired at the end of their Olympics coverage.

The BBC just do it far better than anyone else. Fact.
I know it’s not all about gorgeous montages, but I can’t get my head around anyone who quibbles the licence fee. It pays for the geniuses who make stuff like that.

"I didn’t know he was Orange until a number of years ago, when he happened to turn Orange. I respect either one, but he obviously doesn’t because all of a sudden he made a turn and he went – he became an Orange person. I think somebody should look into that."

As another school year draws to a close, Margaret and I would like to give a special mention to all of our education colleagues who are retiring, and to all those who are leaving the profession for other reasons.

Thank you for your dedicated service! ❤

This one's for you...

@RetirementTales @JasonManford This is brilliant- my childhood and teaching career in one.

[Dragonrider Sue 🐟 🐦 she/her 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @topsyscatmum]

Still applies.. Sadly.

[Jonathan Davies CBE @JiffyRugby]

This is brilliant

Fifteen years. Five prime ministers, seven chancellors, eight foreign secretaries, twelve culture secretaries and sixteen housing ministers.

A thread, for #RantyTuesday.

[John O'Shea @politicalhackuk]

Of course the government will do this. Just as they will want to send victims of modern slavery to Rwanda.

Question is, will people like Tugendhat and Mercer vote to betray those who served beside them?

[Annie Hill @AnnieHi25478373]

I especially loved p86… a real advert for how important it is for children to be able to choose from a wide range of texts… not a narrow selection in a colour band.

New: Michaela head told inspectors the school did not teach music in year nine mainly because pupils “are not really interested in the subject”.

Long read piece on the inspection notes on Michaela Community School,which I FOI’d following its recent report.

A team-builder
A people person
Passionate

Whatever the outcome of the World Cup final, Sarina Wiegman has once again shown us all what great leadership looks like.

[Secret Headteacher @secretHT1]

How to slap everyone who has worked so hard, through difficult circumstances, in the face in one short sound bite.

It’s also how to undermine the entire education system.

Such a tone deaf comment. Wow.

[Headline Books @headlinepg]

Kicking off this week with a spot of @MaryAliceEvans - what could be better?

Here she is to introduce you to OVER MY DEAD BODY, her fantastically funny crime novel, out now 👻
