You only need to read one book right now, and it is this one by the epic @Doug_Lemov and Team. My only regret is not reading this months ago

- There is so much I love about @DavidDidau's latest offering, but this is probably my favourite sentiment. Leaders: ensure teachers can focus on teaching.
- .@Doug_Lemov (and co) has done it again. I'm 50 pages in with absolutely reams of ideas for improving student culture. Practical, research based, mission driven. A must-read.
- If there is anyone out there still considering doing an NPQH, don't. I don't think I have ever before experienced such a mess of pointless bureaucracy.
- I am loving everything about how our Senior Teacher for coaching, Jenny, has translated teacher coaching to the online setting using @Doug_Lemov's remote teaching techniques 😍
- Shout out to the new and trainee teachers this year, smashing it from two metres away from their classes, with basically half the strategies we all rely on to teach great lessons 💪
- Booklets: why, how and 'Jekyll and Hyde' readingallthebooks.com/2018/05/05/boo…
- Just finished this masterpiece from @C_Hendrick and @P_A_Kirschner. The best summary of the best science of learning I have read. How did I miss this? What other brilliant education books have I missed?
- "Culture Rules" is out tomorrow! It's about how we can create schools teachers want to work at, and where children want to attend amazon.co.uk/dp/036756257X/…
- This is my literal book in my literal hand. Unfortunately, I chose to open the fortuitous packet at work while simultaneously trying to have a "challenging" conversation with a child. My facial expressions may have confused him somewhat.
- I sort of feel like we should only be saying things along the lines of "thank you for your effort in creating and sharing resources to help children learn at this difficult time. I have created this which you can use too which might help children learn even more."
- I genuinely laugh out loud within about 3 minutes of @OakNational's Latin lessons. A reminder that you can learn Latin from scratch, for free, here. Latin is for everyone! thenational.academy/year-7/latin/r…
- I *love* a good walking talking mock, but @elucymay's idea of scripting it is genius. Super blog with script included!
