@A_mcgeeney Proper old skool stadium 👌🏻

[Jon Tait 🎓 @TeamTait]

@Just_Maths Love that. The attention to detail, the craftsmanship and the quality is something that will obviously be part of your teacher craft and will undoubtedly rub off onto your students and colleagues too👌🏻

[Jon Tait 🎓 @TeamTait]

When teaching gets busy, our instinct is often to give more of ourselves to the job. But what if what we sacrifice is part of what makes us effective teachers? Our interests & lives outside school make us the interesting, curious people our children need https://t.co/nhkpmBMyaz

As part of your school raising achievement strategies this year, are you including sleep as an important jigsaw piece? 🧩 Sleep is the brain’s save button for learning. You cannot out-teach sleep deprivation 😴 https://t.co/dy0XFF3wOj

Our sofa season ticket has already got some serious ‘sofa miles’ on it this wknd! 🛋️ 📺 We started on Fri night in North London, spent Sat in Hull, then today we’ve been in Brighton, followed by a trip up North via Manchester before finishing off in Newcastle! 📍🗺️ 🎟️

[Jon Tait 🎓 @TeamTait]

@EganCaitriona Yes, she’s off to Manchester to study sports business and coaching. Robbie has landed a job at QE as an academic coach and he’s hoping to help out with Spanish speaking too! He’s been doing first year inductions yesterday and today!

[Jon Tait 🎓 @TeamTait]

My boy is back after graduating from uni and so is the Premier League! 🙌🏻 Having him back means we’re both really looking forward to deploying our sofa season tickets tonight and for as many games as physically possible this year! 📺 🎟️ Big Coventry fans tonight!

[Jon Tait 🎓 @TeamTait]

@EganCaitriona Look at them both! ❤️ He’s just finished and she’s off to uni next month! One in one out!

Great article and experienced reflections from @EnserMark about what your GCSE results data ‘actually’ tells you, together with the traps to avoid as a school leader or subject leader 👇🏻

[Mark Enser 🌍 @EnserMark]

GCSE results are out tomorrow. The data tells you real things, and it can't be trusted on others.

Some thoughts for middle leaders on what to actually claim from your results before drawing conclusions:

GCSE Results Day can be one of those days that students remember for the rest of their lives. That’s why I’ve created this infographic with my 7 tips for students & families. Feel free to share it with families or use it in your school’s Results Day comms

What happens to childhood attention when every few secs brings a new video/stimulus? From a toddler immersed in short-form social media to comparisons with traditional cartoons, I explore how different media shape focus, imagination, and classroom learning https://t.co/0y1lFNtlmw

[Jon Tait 🎓 @TeamTait]

@dnleslie They seem to be a law unto themselves though, don’t they 🤷🏼‍♂️ Imagine a high street product that was proven to harm children’s health/mental health. It would be recalled immediately.

[Jon Tait 🎓 @TeamTait]

We often blame children for their struggles with smartphones & social media, but are we blaming the wrong people? Digital platforms are not broken; they are working exactly as designed. My article explores why we need to rethink responsibility https://t.co/KhhxQRWW2H

[Jon Tait 🎓 @TeamTait]

@jonwillo Cheers Jon, hope you’re well 👍🏻

[Jon Tait 🎓 @TeamTait]

It’s A Level Results Day in 1995, 31 years ago….thanks Mam x

[Jon Tait 🎓 @TeamTait]

2/2 Our American road trip has consisted of two Airbnbs and two hotels, exploring what we call ‘real Florida’. A healthy dose of dolphins, gators, manatees, turtles, pelicans, shells, a few Walmarts and 1800 miles of bridges over water and the open road #FloridaRoadTrip 🇺🇸

[Jon Tait 🎓 @TeamTait]

Not a theme park in sight…from West Palm Beach on the east coast of Florida, to Cape Coral and the stunning barrier islands on the south west coast of Florida and then down through Miami to the Florida Keys 1/2

@21stCTeaching I asked in all the stores even if they didn’t display a sign. Surprising how many give an extra 10-20% for teachers 👌🏻

[Jon Tait 🎓 @TeamTait]

I’ve got a lot of time for this! 👌🏻 We’ve seen so many stores/brands offer this out here at the outlets in Florida 🌴🤟🏻🇺🇸
