Had a lovely trip to @hubsleaford with my @BGULincoln #PGCE secondary trainees today.. Thank you to Sarah for taking the time to explain all of the different resources, workshops and learning opportunities at the centre ☺️

[Gemma Whitelock @mrsartytextiles]

I definitely have that ‘lived experience’ thing that everyone bangs on about these days and I have used this to crate 2 FREE survival guides to help you and your students feel able to take on the pressures of term 5 & 6 💪🏻💪🏻 #edchat #wellbeing PLS RT X

The Easter break is the perfect time to rest, reflect & create a plan of attack to survive the summer term: Small changes really do add up to make such a big difference in outcomes - not just in terms of the grades on the paper but also the well being and sanity of your team too

[Gemma Whitelock @mrsartytextiles]

Didn't get many photos but today has been fab.. Helping trainees from other subjects develop their creativity. We have had games for revision in PE, D&D Macbeth, respiratory system modelling, monopoly inspired History games, giant Maths LOTR style maps.. & lots more! @BGULincoln

[Gemma Whitelock @mrsartytextiles]

@katy_bag Yup. Thats where I'm from 🤣

[Gemma Whitelock @mrsartytextiles]

@Jobaker9 Speak to RP Jo, they used to do Russian and the languages staff might be able to help x

[Gemma Whitelock @mrsartytextiles]

Always love the stuff that Lou creates.. This links perfectly to my session on supporting progression through KS4 & KS5 😍 #PGCE

[LouiseClazey @LouiseClazey]

Just finished making and printing our lovely new A Level Art and A Level Photography booklets, ready for our sixth form open evening tomorrow. Looking forward to sharing these with students and parents 😊

[Gemma Whitelock @mrsartytextiles]

@nourishworkplce @DeputyGrocott Yep.. Me too, And bread rolls 😂

[Gemma Whitelock @mrsartytextiles]

@thosethatcan Creativity, good sense of humour & lived experience of the 'system'..I have seen/worked with some AMAZING teachers who had a vivid experience at school. Whether it was a moment where someone supported their additional needs or they weren't & they want to be THAT person for others

[Gemma Whitelock @mrsartytextiles]

@debrakidd Yup.. Instead, maybe have a conversation and try to understand them. My Ruby still remembers the 1 person who did that. Was still too little, too late and we pulled her out anyway. Doesn't hurt to imagine what it's like in their shoes sometimes.

[Gemma Whitelock @mrsartytextiles]

Soo.. Thinking of writing a contemporary ref book for Art/textiles teachers.. Kinda like a physical version of my old blog/directory/Pinterest boards.. Full of artist inspo, ideas for themes & contextual refs etc.. A 'go to' for students & teachers #teamart what do you think?

[Gemma Whitelock @mrsartytextiles]

@TeachLeadAAli This is amazing! 😍🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[Gemma Whitelock @mrsartytextiles]

Happy customers this afternoon.. Trainee absolutely smashed his obs (genuinely, if someone needs a DT teacher, he's fab!).. was also lovely to tell the SBM what an awesome job she has done, especially as she is a new mentor & a @BGULincoln #PGCE alumni herself 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[Gemma Whitelock @mrsartytextiles]

Should also add that I had the unique pleasure of teaching this student beyond GCSE/A level when he came to college for Art Foundation.

Was proof (if ever it was needed) that a personal, well thought out support package at KS4 was the grounding needed for progression

[Gemma Whitelock @mrsartytextiles]

Had a dig into my planning archives for my session on effective support at KS4 & personalised learning ..found this little gem 💎

Doing a spot of research for an ed/food project.. Would appreciate your input (and PLEASE be as honest as possible!!!) 🌱

[Eat More Good Stuff @eatmoregoodstuf]

Teachers of twitter.. Could I beg a favour in the name of research? Vote for your 'go to' snack at work please - If you could add any other foodie options in the comments that would be fab. thank you x

[Gemma Whitelock @mrsartytextiles]

Hi all.. Am doing some secondary Ed resources development work as part of my @eatmoregoodstuff job.. Could do with some help. If that's ok?

How long are your school assemblies?

Would a ready made package of 'health/wellness' resources and lessons be useful for you?
