We have just had our first data entry for Y13. As HoD, I have sat down with 12 students who are clearly not where we or they want them to be. They filled out this in advance of some 1:1 chats with me and Y13 Parents Evening next week.

Illuminating...

@75ThunderRoad I have always had a deep discomfort for rewarding 100% attendance. Children are meant to be ill frequently to build their immune systems. No child makes it all year without being ill, so really at the parent's behest a child is coming in to spread illness 😏

Over the last year, I’ve spent 100s of hours reading, thinking, and experimenting with teacher coaching.

I’m stitching this all together, to be released in my upcoming book: ‘Responsive Coaching’

For a flavour of what’s to come, here are 7 of my best blogs on teacher coaching:

I am firmly in that zone where I need the end of term right now, whilst also needing at least a fortnight extension to get at least four weeks worth of work done in the next 10 school days.

Absolutely appalling. I am now even more angry then I was last week. Our poor children. 💔 Have you seen this

🧵Why Easter holiday SATs booster classes for Y6 get a hard no from me.
1. Because some of them are still only 10. They should be playing during the holidays.

Geography teachers... Shall we have a David Attenborough day and all show it to all our pupils? We could then follow it up with emails /letters to local MPs and post pictures of it being shown in classrooms all over the UK 😊 #geographyteacher
