We’re looking for great people to join our team and help ensure that all children can enjoy lives of choice and opportunity.

You’ll get the chance to work with brilliant people in a region to improve the coherence of support families and kids receive.

@Positivteacha Don’t rule Sheffield out. I grew up there, some great schools!

Think the audience for a blog post comparing simple harmonic motion to the rhythm of the school year and work-life balance is probably quite limited. Nevertheless I’m enjoying getting back to writing this summer! https://t.co/zlraXCn0wA

@thosethatcan Yes, there’s a sense of achievement in facing something tough alongside others in a team. The effort still requires recovery time though. We had the most horrendous year with two full Ofsted inspections. Actually found other ‘quieter’ times harder as I felt more alone.

[Lucy H @MissDrPhysics]

@Strickomaster Yes, I’ve just moved to lead Post 16 at my school. It’s a big shift to always work 3-4 days around each results day but the present system means students really need some support then. Same week would be better.

[Lucy H @MissDrPhysics]

@ZJAyres It makes sense. Wish I’d heard more voices like yours back when I did my PhD but still find hearing these experiences useful now!

[Lucy H @MissDrPhysics]

Started a new blog by writing about how I’m always starting new projects and bring overly optimistic at this time of year.

In case any people with younger children want to know what parenting a teenager is like…

[Lucy H @MissDrPhysics]

This looks great. It must have taken a lot of work to put together.

[Greg Thornton @MrThorntonTeach]

I’m working on a programme for our Y10 & 11 called the 1% Club

Based off Atomic Habits (& The Bear) it’s all about continuous improvement & empowering them to be independent, motivated & self regulated learners.

This ties in with our work on metacognition & learning behaviours

@missradders This is very close to my school, crazy week!

[Lucy H @MissDrPhysics]

@HoDandHeart Wow. Tough to watch. That takes a lot of strength.

An excellent post that dwells on the power of dwelling, not rushing onto the next slick summary.

Are you an English teacher from West Yorkshire?
Do you love good CPD?
We have an exciting @LitdriveUK event on GCSE poetry coming to you on 27th June @TheGSAL and are looking for speakers. Please get in touch with myself and @GKillip and fill this form: https://t.co/Ugil57xHQG

@UrielGlowsGreen I had honestly never realised this and am now wondering how I missed it!

[Lucy H @MissDrPhysics]

Matt has such a great sense of what is needed when. Third thread this week about exactly what I’ve already been thinking about. His books are great too.

[Physics Memes @ThePhysicsMemes]

I love physics #cosmos

[The Physics Teaching Podcast @physicstp]

Ways to Teach... Atomic Physics is live! Jackie Flaherty from The @OgdenTrust returns to talk us through what to cover and how #iteachphysics

[Lucy H @MissDrPhysics]

I’ve heard this term a lot in school recently and this is a helpful and accurate summary.

[Lucy H @MissDrPhysics]

@Positivteacha I think they are both slightly negative terms but I guess the point is to start debate! I always asked a lot of questions and suggested a lot of things and I think that supported applying to a leadership role but I do think supporting changes and initiatives is important.

[Lucy H @MissDrPhysics]

@Positivteacha That sounds an awful thing to go through. Hope you’ve got a space place to talk to through properly.
