The #GBUltras #Ultrawales 50mile was both incredible and brutal. What a race and what scenery. 15 hours running, hiking & scrambling but so worth it. Midge bites hurting the most.
£850 raised for @DandelionTimeUK - thanks to all those that donated.

Delighted to have reached my initial fundraising taret for @DandelionTimeUK . Still 2 days until the #UltraWales50 so time to raise even more. If you would like to support this amazing charity.... https://t.co/WdFyIZZodI

This week we laid out a memorial to the more than 11,500 Palestinian children and 36 Israeli children who’ve been killed since October 7th. It was a line 5km long of children’s clothes. Huge thanks to the volunteers who came to Bournemouth and made this happen #CeasefireNow

In the last 4 months I've read *loads* of twitter threads on teaching.

To ease you into the holidays, here're 40 of the finest:

@mikehobbiss @DrSamSims @profbeckyallen SUMMARY

• It’s only when we automate much of our teaching that we can manage the complexity of the classroom.
• However, the more habituated our approach, the harder it is to change.
• Experienced teachers can benefit from development as much as newer folks.

👊

Really doesn’t surprise me. So complex too and another huge challenge for schools. https://t.co/2uJb2WoRyt

Why aren’t we doing ‘instructional coaching’ (even though everyone else seems to be)?

An Argument of #ChatGTP Use in Education

"It’s OK if the chatbot works well to break through writer’s block. Yet, if you want it to perform consistently, it must source authentic, deep, and expanding domain data" (Allam et al., May 2023)

The government wants to cut 'unproductive tasks' from teacher workload.

What happens if you ask 9,000 teachers to give examples of the unproductive tasks they spend most time on?
