Rupert Lowe dismissing the Dunblane massacre as 'one murder' in a pro-gun rant on the US-based Joe Rogan podcast 👇

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

Now Yvette Cooper, Hamish Falconer (someone with some Jewish heritage) and Andy Burnham are antisemites! Why? Because they have attacked Jews for being Jews? Nope. Because they’ve been critical of a country’s military actions? Yep.

First week of the summer holidays and a few days exploring old favourites and places never been.

Optimism requires oxygen. A smile is the oxygen tank I carry with me.

My book ‘Art Shaped’ crept back into the AMAZON top 50 craft books again over the weekend. 😮 Twice the number one bestseller, it’s already had over 150 five-star ratings! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

For all of the advice I've heard, the changes I've witnessed, and all of the strategies I've seen promoted over the years, the way I work with children (and adults to be honest) boils down to the two things that I think matter the most. They are simple, human things . . . (1)

@smithsmm Lovely, very jealous.

I've had a very busy week working up in Gloucestershire. Eight schools, 6 different year groups, 350 miles, eight different themes, over 100 kids, one tired Darrell . . . worth it though, none of this work existed on Monday morning. 🙂

“Practice any Art: music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, no matter how well or badly, not to get money & fame but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow.”

@DarrellWakelam Fantastic as always

When giving feedback, it HAS to be a conversation. This is for a number of reasons:

A. It's just basic respect. You've observed someone, you should care about what they have to say.

B. It mitigates the power dynamic. Most feedback conversations involve some kind of power dynamic, but you basically want to try and avoid this as much as possible. You want people to listen to you because you have credibility, not because you have power.

C. It helps you establish the observee's ground beliefs and knowledge about teaching. If someone philosophically is going to disagree with your feedback, or lacks some kind of key knowledge to understand it, you have to know that and change the delivery accordingly.

D. It helps get to points of agreement. Generally, the most effective feedback is where you start from things you mutually agree on, and simply explore whether those things have been executed properly.
