@w30sta They keep pushing it back a year. At this rate you'll be an old man when it closes! Any word from the Howard clan?

[Jen Griffiths @MissGriffs]

@w30sta Is it next summer that everything closes? Where next for the Khan family?

[Jen Griffiths @MissGriffs]

@w30sta I sure am. Starting an EdD in September but that's about it for excitement in my life! How're things with you? All good in Deutschland?

Thanks to @twinklresources for this afternoon's talk from Michael Tidd. The freebies were a lovely bonus!

[Jen Griffiths @MissGriffs]

Brilliant talk today from @MichaelT1979 - inspirational, entertaining & no nonsense approach to feedback & marking

[Jen Griffiths @MissGriffs]

@becca1903 @sarah_g2000 @gemc1801 oh dear god

[Jen Griffiths @MissGriffs]

@gemc1801 @sarah_g2000 @becca1903 yes, that's exactly what I used to think!

[Jen Griffiths @MissGriffs]

@sarah_g2000 @becca1903 @gemc1801 @greg_ashman spot on. I don't understand why ppl are still desperately clinging on to dialogic marking

[Jen Griffiths @MissGriffs]

Wonderful chapter on lack of respect for teachers by @HinTai_Ting in 'Battle Hymn...' Should be compulsory reading for the whole country!

[Jen Griffiths @MissGriffs]

@sarah_g2000 @gemc1801 @becca1903 absolutely. I'm printing off all these types of blog posts so I have a huge evidence bank for doubters...

[Jen Griffiths @MissGriffs]

@fod3 I've recently gone back to rows & I much prefer it. It's nice being able to see all their faces!

[Jen Griffiths @MissGriffs]

@gemc1801 @mrs_capewell @becca1903 this is brilliant. Wish I could have said half this stuff today!

[Jen Griffiths @MissGriffs]

@sarah_g2000 @gemc1801 @mrs_capewell @becca1903 if you say so...

[Jen Griffiths @MissGriffs]

@gemc1801 @mrs_capewell @becca1903 what do you reckon? https://t.co/jEY3wBkvjD

[Jen Griffiths @MissGriffs]

@sarah_g2000 ah shucks! Thanks. Although I feel like the lucky one

[Jen Griffiths @MissGriffs]

@sarah_g2000 so proud of them 😊

[Jen Griffiths @MissGriffs]

@jillberry102 @headguruteacher YES! Now to convert the non believers

[Dr Jill Berry @jillberry102]

Feedback - better if it's soon, verbal & acted on. Ditch the red pen. @headguruteacher #TeachMeetExcel #ThinkLearning

Mock trial with Y8 today on 'Noughts&Crosses'. Incredible. Some budding barristers - seriously impressive. Love teaching on days like these!
