@DrBradJohnson All the teachers in Finland have MAs.

@DrJaninaRamirez I’d love to catch up. I know nothing about the reunion! 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Adele07090570 @englishpatronus @DrMBoyd @KitdeWaal @choudrey_s @AndersonKatM @MrHavfc @psmith1150 @LitdriveUK Hi Adele, I am sending a group message to those interested in collaborating. I think you might need to follow me so I can message you?

[Jo Holdsworth @joholdsworth]

Hi English teachers! Anyone starting teaching @KitdeWaal's 'My Name is Leon' in 23-24 - would you like to collaborate on pulling together resources? @choudrey_s @AndersonKatM @DrMBoyd @MrHavfc @psmith1150 @Adele07090570 #teamenglish @LitdriveUK

[Jo Holdsworth @joholdsworth]

Thank you for your responses! I am going to DM.

Thinking about target grades... Useful? Damaging to mental health? Improve attainment/raise aspiration? Anyone know of solid reading/research I can engage with? Anyone doing anything bold with them whole-school?🙏 @Waldenkent @daisychristo @JonnyUttley

[Jo Holdsworth @joholdsworth]

@EngMediaCentre Hi EMC - I don't suppose you are planning on offering CPD/resources to support those teaching 'My Name is Leon' by @KitdeWaal for the first time in 2023-4? 🙏

@AQAEnglish This doc (https://t.co/XW3kMbscnj) says 'on demand e-learning modules for new texts coming in Spring 2023'. Where can we access these please?

[Jo Holdsworth @joholdsworth]

@AQAEnglish @KitdeWaal Is there a recording for this please @AQAEnglish ?

[Jo Holdsworth @joholdsworth]

@MsGHist I too want to look at both feedback and homework and would happily collaborate/discuss.

@jdurran There was a girl in my Y11 form when I was an NQT, who used to crawl under the desks and meow.

@mschalkandtalk @MrTs_NQTs @Team_English1 Consult appropriately before finalising plans; launch well to staff and students, to get buy in; remind and support everyone to join in and play their part.

@Sanumjkhan @ajzair @TheTeacherWins @BAMEedNetwork @WomenEd @DiverseEd2020 @thosethatcan @astra_hub @MrTs_NQTs @TeamTait @SchoolsWeek I cut up the handbook so I had names of all staff right by my desk, including which department/team they were in. Can’t tell you how many times I needed this info on the wall! @Sanumjkhan I’m so excited for you 💜

[Jo Holdsworth @joholdsworth]

@ATTIDepDir @informed_edu @JonnyUttley @bridget89ec @johntomsett @CharteredColl Thank you I'd really appreciate that. I will DM you.

[Jo Holdsworth @joholdsworth]

Thinking about inquiry questions as part of staff development... Are they always classroom-based? What about leadership? Can it be a whole-school IQ? Can it be staff facing rather than student facing? @informed_edu @JonnyUttley @bridget89ec @johntomsett @CharteredColl Thank you!

[Jo Holdsworth @joholdsworth]

@johntomsett @informed_edu @JonnyUttley @bridget89ec @CharteredColl Thank you

[Jo Holdsworth @joholdsworth]

@Daniel_Langley1 @DavidDidau @researchEDBrum Hope you’re enjoying the new role!
