@DebiEvansMatron Ive had a look....no RNLI volunteers have been attacked by people they are rescuing. There have been quite a lot of attacks on them by "patriots" I think they call themselves. We call them many other names.
Toxic school ‘hangover’ is real. This wknd has been one where my memories were triggered and I was reminded of dark times, times that looking back I’ve no idea how or why I persisted through. Also, the ability of groups of adults to form groups to bully and make you feel like you are going mad. In fact, there’s no need to be intimidated and it’s always worth asking yourself ‘what did I ever do to any of these ppl?’. When the answer comes back ‘nothing’, that’s when you realise that all the pain they caused was incredible in its complete pointlessness.
'So much wrong here… The total lack of support from the head and trust. Asking the person to resign. The media and social bullying by the parent. The media sensationalising. The destruction of a committed young teacher. All involved should be ashamed'

'The power of teacher expectations'

"We must be acutely aware of the expectations we convey & the mindset we model for our students in our every interaction, our every utterance. Whether I thought I could learn maths or not, I was right."
If you’re a leader, don’t pull dick moves like making people feel guilty for their kids being ill, or going to a funeral or having things going on away from school.
It won’t lead anywhere good.
I have often said that there's a lot we can learn about effective feedback from instrumental music teachers. Martin Leigh, Director of Music at King Edward's School, agrees: https://t.co/Bami7CoEuH
Once in a while I like to send a parcel of free books to a random primary school, to encourage reading for pleasure.
RT and give me a shout if you'd like to be in the hat. 😊
@Mr_AlmondED At last we have this brought out into the open as an issue. See the recorded webinar at the bottom of this page which addresses the rationale for and against those lead-in joins for print letters - call the practice out - change!: https://t.co/N8U3KuDL8B
