Totally agree with this. In 32 years, across 4 continents I have never seen kids in my school PISA tested... Maybe I was lucky.

@DanJRich Dress down day also confuses me. Only my shirts dress down. Everything else gets pulled up! #confusing

Good humour on a Friday morning!

Here's a little experiment for you to try that relates to Teaching & Learning and professional development.

First, read the scenario below.

Second, before hitting the following post in the thread, try and predict "what would happen next in this lesson"

What we should be concerned with at school is building the right relationship with students. Which means they must believe in how we will act. And they need to understand how they should act. Predictability and consistency are at the heart of this. And habit formation.

[Katharine Birbalsingh @Miss_Snuffy]

Teamwork. ❤️

That’s what consistency can bring you. https://t.co/t84dN8IA9p

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

If a group of teachers, students and researchers sat down and tried to devise the best form of education for 14-18 year olds with assessment built in, no one would come up with GCSEs and A-levels as the answer.

Well Done Hamworthy Utd!

[ACES Nationals @ACESfootballUK]

BIG congratulations to Hamworthy Utd representing Bournemouth who beat Enfield Borough in the final of the re arranged Boys U16 final today.
BIG thank you also to our hosts for the day Ware FC #warefc

@tombennett71 @oldandrewuk This has been a great Sunday morning read. We must never stop this discourse, nor should it be diluted to a binary set of outcomes. Prog vs Trad is a gloriously multi-dimesional debate where it is quite possible to be rigorously prog in some areas and equaly trad in others.

[Rob Davies. @Rob_Davies2014]

@Linds_Bennett These are astoundingly good. Thank you for sharing.

@bennewmark between 2000ish and 2010 we had a secondary curriculum that celebrated student interests. We had a wide range of accredited courses - some very academic, some very skills based - but all very focused on the needs of each child. Some did 3 days a week with a local employer, beca

Taxi drivers and Estate Agents are useful barometers of how your school is doing. That and how many times you have to stare at your frozen peas in the local supermarket... 🤣

[Claire Stoneman @stoneman_claire]

This evening I heard something lovely from a taxi driver about our school and its improving reputation in the community and honestly, I couldn’t be more proud of our staff and kids ☺️

[Rob Davies. @Rob_Davies2014]

@MrBenParnell This is the focus for me... If a child chooses to disrupt his own education by behaving in a way the required a trip to RR, that is one thing, but 29 other kids then study without distraction. That is a win for the common good.

Love this joke by @JasonManford … a bit of inter-professional banter 😂

Also a great survival story from someone who suffered a cardiac arrest at one of his shows 🙏

[Headfirst @HeadfirstRoly]

Just came across this really old Teachers' TV video about Mossbourne Academy. It's a useful case study. Much of what this shows is now not considered controversial in schools but clearly a laser focus. Really worth watching.

Loved our Sixth Form Open Evening and handing these out as bookmarks! Brilliant collaboration with departments.

PARENTS!!

Some parents are realising…

Best thing you can do for your kid is not give them a smartphone.

Give them a brick phone instead. 👍🏽
