@profbeckyallen @researchED1 What an interesting read - thank you for sharing.

@FunkyPedagogy @MrCEnglish1 @English_MrsD @Team_English1 @OUPSecondary I've done similar using 'Echostar' (Barrington Stoke - AI theme) working on developing fluency through echo-reading (no pun intended!) to model prosody etc.

@MaryMyatt As a teacher who advocates for MA groupings at KS3, it saddened me to realise this had already happened to my 5 yo. Teachers using phrases such as 'she can see that even the able writers in the class have to....' immediately telling me, and her, that she is not in their number!

@BarbaraBleiman I had this conversation with our Exams Officer yesterday. Hours spent checking papers and suggesting papers for remark when I should be focusing on our current students. A scandal indeed!

@ttct_ceo @FunkyPedagogy Thank you to everyone involved in offering this free session.

Extremely interesting read re: comprehension

[five from five @FIVEfromFIVE]

Reading comp is not a skill someone learns & then apply in different reading contexts. It is one of the most complex activities that we engage in on a regular basis, & our ability to comprehend is dependent upon a wide range of knowledge & skills@CattsHugh

Some words from me on @LitdriveUK's blog - my perspective on the discussions from the GCSE Reform meeting organised by @EnglishAssoc and @The_Globe #TeamEnglish @Team_English1

[Teaching Em @teachingem1]

Great @LitdriveUK Trust Lead Forum this evening. So many things to go away and reflect upon at the end of a busy first half-term in a Trust leadership role. Special thanks to @greeborunner @s_donarski for running the session and sharing their experiences and expertise.

@MrHoldsEnglish @FunkyPedagogy @joannecrossley @LRoss1810 Department CPD is just THE BEST. Can I just ask what sort of information is provided in the Teacher Guides? Would love to know!

[Teaching Em @teachingem1]

One of the best things I've read and this adaptation looks stupendously good.

The smallest decisions reveal the biggest truths. Academy Award Winner Cillian Murphy stars in #SmallThingsLikeThese - in theaters November 8.

[Teaching Em @teachingem1]

Incredible post from @FunkyPedagogy which summarises the challenges of reading and stresses how VITAL it is for individuals, schools, families, communities... The message? That nothing trumps reading in terms of education and that we need to get real, get serious and get going!

[Teaching Em @teachingem1]

Done! Please consider contributing.

And so my AQA GCSE English Language/Literature reimmersion begins in preparation for September. Now if someone could just come round with a sort of Edexcel neuralyzer that would be most welcome! #ao3onwhichquestionnow

@stoneman_claire Thank you for this post Claire. I'm moving into a subject-related MAT role from September (hybrid role with some teaching) so provoked some well-timed reflection for me.
