Visiting Ark Soane today was an absolute delight! The students are brimming with ambition and scholarship. The warmth and positivity in both lessons and throughout the school was tangible, fostering a true love for learning. When you ask a student what they love most about their school and they respond sincerely and without hesitation "the teachers," you know it’s a special place A big thank you to Matt and the team for your generosity in sharing your time, experience, and insights! Would love to return with a curriculum focus – lots of questions! @ArkSoaneAcademy @Mr_Raichura #edchat #ELP2024 @ELProgramme

Thank you so so much @ArkSoaneAcademy for graciously welcoming 10 of our @TedWraggTrust leaders to your amazing school. The high standards & energy in each classroom were impressive, but what stood out to us was the culture of love, warmth, and kindness that permeated everywhere.

[Robert Orme @robertaorme]

@LunnJon @ArkSoaneAcademy @TedWraggTrust It was a pleasure to have you all to visit, thanks for coming!

[Jonathan Grande @jonniegrande]

Really looking forward to leading a new @histassoc webinar series on assessment in history.

I’ve learnt so much from brilliant history teachers and educators in recent years, and can’t wait to share the most powerful ideas and approaches.

Lots of resources we designed for the behaviour Hubs program are now available online for free to anyone who could get the benefit of using them. Nothing can replace working with people, but you might find these materials useful. #behaviourhubs https://t.co/KwwiaQ1Ds3

I've just returned home from a week in England where I learned & saw a lot so I'm writing a sort of mini-travelogue. Starting with my visit to @ArkSoaneAcademy.

Delightful & inspiring visit to
@ArkSoaneAcademy today. Saw vibrant, positive student culture; intentional & consistently dynamic teaching; an overwhelming feeling of energy & joy. Thanks to @Mr_Raichura and all his colleagues for hosting me.

Behaviour in UK schools should be a far bigger media and political narrative than it currently is. It’s telling that certain corners would rather bash schools with exceptional behaviour/high expectations than acknowledge the chronic issues elsewhere.

Look at the numbers in this. Misbehaviour is so common.

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

My main public lecture in the UK will be in London, April 30, via @intelligence2. Get tickets below. I'm so excited to come over because the UK is leading the way in rolling back the phone-based childhood. Parents, schools, & government are working together

[Advantage Schools @advschools]

🧵We think teaching is the best profession there is.
We get to work with committed colleagues, have transformational impact on the lives of children and young people, and are intellectually challenged in our endeavours to induct pupils into the great conversation of humankind.

[Barry Smith @BarryNSmith79]

I visited @AAWoodfields today. A thread…

[Daisy Christodoulou @daisychristo]

A great thread from @michaeldoron on how bad ideas about pedagogy affect curriculum, and vice versa.

History, like science, has suffered from the flawed idea that epistemology is pedagogy - that the way professional historians use sources should be how students learn history.

[Gráinne Hallahan @heymrshallahan]

Well that’s pretty clear isn’t it?

@TeacherTapp results from yesterday are in - and behaviour is the number one choice.

[Astrea Academy Sheffield - Secondary Phase @AstreaAcadSheff]

As we move into our fourth year of a fully ‘bookletised’ curriculum, we thought we would share some wisdom and support for any schools/trusts that are thinking of moving to booklets....
