Ok five years ago I sent out a load of micro tips for new teachers getting ready for September.

By popular demand (literally nobody) here they are again!

What a great opportunity for students @ChristsColl !! So exciting to hear from @thebodycoach

[Christ's College @ChristsColl]

The BBC Your Story Tour has been a great opportunity for students to be part of something inspirational! Watch Joe Wicks being interviewed along with our students this evening on BBC London around 6:30pm. He's already claimed that our Head Boy is a "Legend" via Instagram.

A lovely quote for children across the world from a 14 year old Princess Elizabeth, in October 1940: “And when peace comes, remember it will be for us, the children of today, to make the world of tomorrow a better and happier place”.

The bee in my feedback bonnet is that it should extend learning through reference to learning intention and planned opportunity for active engagement from the pupil (not ‘remember to’), whilst not being an onerous workload for teachers. This guide does it all in 6 steps.

As the time for writing moderation looms (or not) I thought I'd share this short guide to greater depth writing.

The idea that you can't teach greater depth writing is confused with the fact that you can't teach it to everyone. You can teach it. But two things are essential. (1)

[That Kate Evans @ThatKateEvans]

Many schools use standardised tests from the likes of NFER, Rising Stars, Star and GL. Really helpful explanation and table to identify pupils in the “lowest 20%” using standardised scores.

[school data updates @jpembroke]

Attn @InsightHQ schools: Ofsted have a thing about the ‘lowest 20%’ so I’ve written a help guide on the subject https://t.co/Cm8D1zpJ41
