This day is UNPAID!!!! It’s not like we’re taking a paid day to go out for lunch. Have you not heard of cost of living??? We’re not giving up a day’s pay for no reason. We are doing this so that YOUR children have a higher quality education in the future.

@JosephElms @mr_englishteach Why so aggressive? Sometimes people forget things and need a reminder 🤷‍♀️ I doubt that all of your practices are all 100% perfect all the time

[helen @helengwoo]

@LizzieOG1 @MrZachG Me too!! Any you would recommend?

[helen @helengwoo]

@HeroicMrT @Team_English1 I’m not sure but I’ve been told it’s a concern so looking to remedy it!

[helen @helengwoo]

@Team_English1 Does anyone have any advice on making the "learning journey" clear in student's books?? Have been told that the work looks bitty and random in their books and not sure how to remedy! Please help!

[helen @helengwoo]

My mum has bought these @mermhart fridge magnets for her fridge but decided that ‘breasts’ was too rude and hidden it round the side of the fridge

[helen @helengwoo]

@FunkyPedagogy @Team_English1 Thank you, maybe I’ll ask if I can see the system in action in another lesson

[helen @helengwoo]

Help! Has anyone got any books they have read that have really helped them with behaviour management? Asking on here as I need something helpful and I never know whether the Amazon reviews are full of bots #edutwitter #teachertwitter @Team_English1 @FunkyPedagogy

@1MissHughes @Team_English1 @FunkyPedagogy @SPryke2 I can’t find the link cause I’m on my phone but if you Google ‘an inspector calls court case lessons’ there’s a great scheme of work that I’m planning to take inspo from for my top set next year

Still thinking about this film

Recreated my favorite scene in Everything Everywhere All at One.

Enjoyed researching my board for @YSJSecondary CPD event yesterday!

When a student calls a teacher racist the incorrect response is to start yelling that that’s a serious accusation and put them in exclusion. A thread:

(I absolutely do NOT miss working in a call centre. The difference is just weird)

[helen @helengwoo]

baffled at some of the unsymapthetic replies to this... attitudes to teaching jobs are so weird sometimes, yes obviously the pupils come first but at the end of the day it's still a JOB that you do to earn MONEY... this would just not happen in a call centre

[Laura McInerney @miss_mcinerney]

Feel for this teacher (from Reddit). I get why the head is in a desperate situation, but a 1.5hr taxi ride today will be over £100 each way. That’s more than half the weekly salary for a UQT.

[Cllr Natasha Carlin @natashacarlin7]

5 years ago 72 people died because they were trapped in a government mandated death trap. 5 years later and we can’t forget their names. We must continue to fight for justice for them and their families. 💚💚✊🏾 #Justice4Grenfell

[helen @helengwoo]

Has anyone got any examples of any resources they use to work with TAs? Eg a planning sheet they give to TAs at the beginning of the lesson? Secondary English if that makes a difference! #edutwitter 🙏

[helen @helengwoo]

Omg the most comforting form of nihilism ever. I’m calling it #googlyeyesnihilism

Saw this film yesterday and can’t stop thinking about it #EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce

@Bronwen85 If rowling gave a damn about prisoners shed be talking about punitive sentencing and conditions and how that feeds into recidivism and destroys futures. shed be talking about how to reform prisons among german or norwegian lines...
