- Hearing about the amount of keyworker students still in schools nationally, together with the amount of traffic still on the roads, I’m not holding out too much hope that this lockdown is going to be as effective as some people think/hope 🤔
- Not a senior leader? Here’s what your Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team are having to deal with 🤯 This dropped into their inbox on the last day of term, with the expectation that it’s ready to go on Jan 4th! 😷
- The fact that it’s having to take unions to get their members to write to their Headteacher and refuse to return to school - bearing in mind Heads are the ones who have felt the brunt and burden of this ongoing fiasco the most - is the saddest possible outcome of this shambles.
- For those well wishers asking about my mam....we managed to get her out of the wheelchair & into the water in Paphos today! Don’t think I’ve ever seen her as happy as this! Beautiful to get her out of the chair & weightless in water 💦 Motor Neurone Disease has met its match 👊🏻
00:00 - Have you ever stood at the back of your classroom and looked towards your whiteboard to see what your students see? Is your front wall cluttered with posters that will be competing for your students’ attention, making their eyes wander and increasing their cognitive load? 🤔
- A perfect visual example from @Doug_Lemov @Inner_Drive @BradleyKBusch @geotayler of how combining ‘Cold Calling’ with ‘Wait Time’ can make questioning your classroom superpower 🦸♂️
- 5 Yrs since diagnosis....5 yrs since we vowed to make the most of everything we have. You can’t take your money with you when you go, so let’s make some memories while we’re here 😎 #BreastCancerAwareness
- Lost my Mam this week after a 2yr brave battle with motor neurone disease. Never forget who helped build the platform that you stand on today....thanks Mam x 😘
- When a picture paints a thousand words and the dreams of so many 😍 This is what it’s all about 🙌🏻
- Very excited to announce that from September, I’ll be taking up the post of Director of School Improvement and Deputy CEO of the Areté Learning Trust in North Yorkshire (Northallerton, Richmond and Stokesley Schools and Sixth Forms in North Yorkshire) 1/4....
- We’ve rented some incredible Airbnb’s in our time, but this might just be up there as one of the best! Right on the lake at Brienz 🇨🇭🏠🇨🇭 The location is absolutely unmatched 😍 #LakeBrienz #Switzerland
- The first politician I’ve enjoyed listening to and trusted in a long time 👍🏻 Real leadership, balls and empathy from Chancellor Rishi Sunak this evening 👊🏻 #WhateverItTakes
- Publishing this, so late in the afternoon on the day that many schools have finished for Christmas and staff will be on their way home to see their families is absolutely shocking 😤 Is there any thought about the impact this will have on school leaders?
