@suevics @_Reading_Rocks_ @MrBoothY6 Starting with a small first come first serve basis. Initially I will give them a choice books using the blurbs and no covers! They vote. We will do the initial session on predictions and some questions we want to find out. The read a few pages and discuss and do some activities.

Does anyone recommend any training for headteachers relating to coaching and mentoring? I’m quite interested in doing some further development on this. @Headteacherchat

Sometimes we can all feel like we don’t have the strength to make it but that’s okay. You don’t need strength for the entire future you just need it for the next day. Keep going. Take it one day at a time.

[PrimaryHead @gpatterson83]

@MrHtheteacher @Headteacherchat Thanks that would be really useful.

[PrimaryHead @gpatterson83]

Does anyone have any templates they use to gather staff voice, pupil voice and parent voice that they would be willing to share? @Headteacherchat

[PrimaryHead @gpatterson83]

@TsuiAllen @Headteacherchat You have!

[Nathan Burns @MrMetacognition]

A few years ago, I wrote two metacognition guides with @OUPSecondary

1) a guide for teachers with practical strategies for the classroom

2) a guide for students to support their revision and learning

Do you want a copy? RT this tweet, then DM me!
