🧵 Ofsted Inspections and Sexual Harassment: a thread for people working in schools 🧵 Sexual harassment is very much on Ofsted's agenda. Here's what you need to know.
I’m currently planning my literacy approaches for next year and I want to have a massive focus on reading and vocabulary. Does anyone have any ‘must haves’ for their school in terms of these? I’m finding myself in a whirlwind of ideas 🤯
Pretty please?? 😀 If you are in education and you are perhaps new to Twitter, or have been here a while, please put something in your bio to say you are in Ed. Many, like me, won’t follow accounts of which we can’t be sure and we’d like to connect!! 👍😀 Plz RT!
As a head, if a member of staff asks for a bit off time to attend their child’s sports day or leavers assembly, it’s a good idea to say yes. The floodgates won’t open, and you’ll see the benefits in so many other ways.
Brilliant day with @Doug_Lemov. This was one of the highest ratio training sessions I have been in. Some takeaways for ensuring all participants fully engage in CPD: 1. Create the norms of participation and discussion at the very start of the session by getting participants…

🧵🧵Some great education resources/guides have been published (or come to my attention) recently. A thread on those that I have found most useful. 🧵🧵
I’ve seen really good schools, irrespective of how strong the systems may be, unpick themselves in 6 weeks. Schools are only as strong as the potential of their leaders & the staff that make them up.
Some leaders who have taken over a school where the culture is already calm and safe, can squander that culture quickly. They think ‘oh we don’t need to be so tight on stuff, the kids here are fine.’ So they relax their systems, drop some expectations, and tell staff, ‘I trust…

10 things: Common problems with Do Now Activities.

I have been a Head for 12 years. With experience it should get easier. Even though I have grown and developed every day, every day as a Head has become more difficult. Every year has involved: Decreased funding. Increased SEND. Decreased support. Increased expectations.
When I first started teaching primary in the 90s,child development CPD was a core strand of professional learning in most staff nettings,INSET & wider training. It’s all but disappeared in so many CPD pathways. It’s still important to know & I worry about it having been eclipsed.
