I had 3-4 weeks off Twitter with autistic burnout recently & my engagement is right down (also due to standing up to a vile group of trolls on here-they reported me lots, restricting my reach). If you see this photo it would be so ace if you could RT it or drop me a quick hello if you have a moment, both of which help an account get back on track. I also hope these little violas ping some floral dopamine in your meat computer & give you a small lift 🌿

🎁 FREE GIFT: FULL ROSENSHINE CPD PACK!

To celebrate 50 consecutive weeks of ⚗️DistillED, I’ve put together something quite cool…

Over the past year, Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction has been one of the most requested topics from teachers and school leaders. So I’ve put together a complete, ready-to-run CPD pack to help schools explore and implement all 10 principles.

The download includes:

→ 10 CPD PowerPoints (ready for 30–45 min sessions)
→ 10 strategy checklists (practical classroom actions)
→ 10 planning templates (put principles into action )
→ Covers all 10 of Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction

Everything you need to run ten focused CPD sessions — one for each principle.

👉 REPOST and comment ROSENSHINE and I’ll DM you the link. Cheers!

⏰ Available until Sunday 22 March!

@m_chiles In Australia but this looks interesting for our context also. Love a copy if sharing.

I'm recovering from a breakdown at the moment so things have been pretty tough- if you could spare a few moments to RT my post about the prints of my photos in my Etsy shop (previous tweet) it would help to maybe put my shop in front of a few extra eyes.
Thankyou so much 🌿

If you'd like to spread this small square of calming uplifting brain effects to your followers maybe RT the tweet above. It's the antithesis of the millions of tweets an hour that trigger anxiety, feelings of doom & hopelessness- it's a small quiet rebellion against the grimness🌿

@silverpebble From Australia, your opposite season tussie mussies brighten my day. Spring jonquils provide a winter lift. 95k validating followers must surely rile him.

Remembering Stu Hasic - the most incredible human - what a legacy- empowered each and every one of us and ensured accessibility and learning for every student - talk about ‘explicit teaching and evidence of impact’!!! #thebrighteststar @nswppa @NSWSPC @dizdarm @DebSummerhayes

Aberfan - 21st October 1966. We will remember those who lost their lives in the Aberfan disaster today. On that day, 57 years ago, the then Headmaster of Pant school, Mr John Driscoll, entered a poignant message into the school record book.

@janehunter01 @daskkifil @JaneCaro @ChrisMinnsMP @doncarter07 It was like having a balloon ready to celebrate real hope for the future, and then pop. The pin that burst the balloon trashed morale-and it was done on the Thursday of Education week. Our schools deserve better. You could feel the air releasing as hope collapsed. #honourthedeal

[Chris Johnson @tamariki]

@pantysgallog Always a warm welcome even more inviting now.
