New Head of Ebacc and former Head of MFL. Passionate about effective teaching and learning. Gin and craft beer fan, loves cooking and Leicester Tigers.
@Headteacherchat I’d love to have one of these, but there isn’t really the perfect one for me as a secondary head of dept/faculty. There are loads of us, so I’m sure there would be a market?
@VEverettmfl I went super conservative with entries this year for exactly this reason. I’ve always been keen to keep as many on higher as possible to give them a chance at more than a 5. Doesn’t feel safe now,
@EastMidRailway paid £17.50 for 2 returns with a railcard form market harborough to Leicester. approx
30 min on the train total. A) massive rip off anyway b) air con didn’t work on the way out c) mad beepers going off all the way back. Disgusting that you’re allowed to continue
@AdamBienkov Oopsie, today I did spend a long time talking about how the real French croissants from a bakery are a thing of beauty compared to anything we get in the UK… it must be me. I’m the one doing all the poisoning! Sorry teaching profession- my bad!
@Headteacherchat I always love these but you don’t make a subject leader one :( I’m head of several subjects in a secondary and I need something between the teacher and the assistant headteacher planner :p any chance there is something in the pipeline?
@katielockett @JoQuatsch I vent to my poor non-teacher husband while we walk around the block and he nods and makes suitably reassuring noises and occasional gasps of incredulity, well punctuated with questions about what’s for dinner. I’m one for stewing if I don’t get things out of my head!
@CanvaEdu I’m so desperate to use the education subscription, but no matter what evidence I upload I keep getting rejected and I can’t reach a human!! I teach in an English secondary school. Can somebody help me?!?!
@canva I’m desperately trying to get my education privileges approved. I’ve uploaded multiple documents and I’m confident that I’m eligible, but teach in the UK. Can I speak to a human instead?
@JoQuatsch We’re teaching some of the mental health bits in what was the family and relationships unit. So far not struggling too hugely to adapt to it :)
@JoQuatsch So far I’ve mapped it against our existing SOW, have also split the vocab list up to create new learning Hws for ks3-4. Having just marked our y11 mock reading and listening I have to say I’m looking forward to some changes. We’ve been working on pronunciation a bit more.
@m_muir_modlangs@KnightswoodSec@KSSModLangs Love a sneaky grammar point within a cultural topic! So much more interesting than what can you do in your town could be! Great way to practise man Mann
