@Headteacherchat Happy to share via DM. In terms of reading, Know Me to Teach Me by Louise Bomber and Running the Room, Tom Bennett. Also, Doug Lemov Teach like a Champion.

@itsme_TJay @Headteacherchat Primary, but more specifically KS2.

Y4 pupils from @OrmskirkCE joined us for a live maths lesson today & our Y3 trainees experienced a #TeachingforMastery specialist in action. Huge thanks to everyone involved, especially the pupils for being so engaged 🤩An immensely rewarding experience for
@edgehill trainees.

@Headteacherchat Tell me about a time when you took an educational risk.

@CensoredHead Have you reached out to your local maths hub for support? All schemes ultimately fail without effective PD alongside their implementation. SKTEM for ECTs would be a suitable workgroup.

@mcgregormaths @ruthastley @MathsHubs @WomenEd Congratulations 👏🏻

@MrHeadPrimary Beware of the jet wash when cleaning and leaving heated mirrors on. I have had mine replaced under warranty on a different VAG group car as the image became distorted. Still cool though!

It's the summer holidays, which means I have two books to give away.

@MrsWhiteLancs We are in West Lancs and would be interested.

@PrimaryCoHead We moved away from My Maths, but have struggled to find a suitable alternative. Anything I have looked at doesn’t appear to support the way we teach mathematics in school. Definite gap in the market for someone to fill.

[Simon Boyd @simbo442]

@MissKhan__ The head and I share a room. We are often passing ships but it’s a good place to catch up at the beginning and end of the day. It has a meeting table and some space to work with chn.

[Simon Boyd @simbo442]

@MrsWhiteLancs I may have a recommendation for you. If you follow me, I can DM you details.

@Headteacherchat We have been using @provisionmap for 3 years and as a SENDCo it has been really helpful for costing provision and monitoring the impact of provision.

@mcgregormaths @mrs_tullock @NCETM @Abacus_NW It was great. Really thought provoking and the principles are applicable for school development across various areas in school life.

[Simon Boyd @simbo442]

@Headteacherchat Useful book on leading with trust and developing it within staff teams.

[Simon Boyd @simbo442]

@sarahbrownedu @Headteacherchat @sallybrown_edu might be able to support. Very helpful and thorough from first hand experience.

@Alex_Bramley3 How many times do class teachers end up missing out on time to repair the relationship with a child when something has went wrong? More often than not I would say. Fine with SLT supporting challenging behaviour but teacher needs to be involved in “putting it right”
