@missder2020 Is this the same for the lead practitioner scale?

[James Somers @JSomers_Science]

@Joshhmotivated This 👏🏻

[James Somers @JSomers_Science]

@RealistTeach @missradders Haha no, it’s been up for 8 years now 😂 although some of the later elements have been named since!

[James Somers @JSomers_Science]

@RealistTeach @missradders I would argue a periodic table for a chemistry teacher is essential. Use mine almost every lesson.

[James Somers @JSomers_Science]

@missradders Secondary here, my massive A0 periodic table is amazing as a teaching tool. Apart from that I don’t have any other displays apart from our science curriculum mapped over 7 years.

[Tom Rogers @RogersHistory]

So many factors as to why, but I’ll tell you one that isn’t - the quality of the teachers and teaching. So stop trying to duplicate the teaching private to state. Want to prove my point? Swap Eton teachers with state school teachers for a week - see what happens.

[James Somers @JSomers_Science]

@Emma_Turner75 Interest rates and more claims since Covid combined have driven up prices. Shop around though, mine doubled but found cheaper elsewhere, still £100 more than last year though 🫣

[James Somers @JSomers_Science]

@ellen_mac3 @tes Think it’s mainly about secondary as ours is spread out over the week/fortnight

[James Somers @JSomers_Science]

@WhistleblowingT Send them home with research saying that written feedback is one of the lowest in terms of impact on student progress to explain rationale

@HighwaysEMIDS How is it 2 hours I’m coming up to 4 and was only 2.5 miles from junction 29

[James Somers @JSomers_Science]

@ColletteTownroe @HighwaysEMIDS Finally I have seen 1 police car go past 3 hours later

[James Somers @JSomers_Science]

@HighwaysEMIDS 3 hours ago I was 2.5 miles from junction 29. I am now 2 miles away, what’s happening with the diversion?

[James Somers @JSomers_Science]

@_JohnRambo_ @annnna_banana Same here 😂😂

‘We must empower and enable teachers to teach, not just deliver. If that’s all we want teachers to do, we may as well appoint robots’: @InMAT_ CEO Helen Williams, answering @tes' 10 questions, talks about the dangers of overprescribing teaching

[James Somers @JSomers_Science]

@FinnDestroyer1 @HeroicMrT How about the teachers who could help students progress even further but are shackled by centralised plans/resources?

[James Somers @JSomers_Science]

@Ridermeister Some of them might still like to get involved as cpd and maybe could work for future expansion? Worth asking the question maybe?

[James Somers @JSomers_Science]

@Ridermeister Alright mate ping me an email about it and I’ll forward it on to the maths department where I work. I’ll put my email in a dm.
