Lots of teachers & leaders have reached out to me over the last year, wanting to implement: ✅ 'All hands up' rather than 'hands down' cold calling ✅ High frequency 'checks for listening' Here is a thread of resources (podcasts & blogs) to help, which I'll keep adding to 🧵 1/

Planning a review of line management meetings to further empower & develop middle leaders. Quick question and would love to hear your thoughts… 1) What makes a great line management meeting? (For ML and for SLT) 2) what would you want to change/do differently in a dream world?

@HaleDonal @TrinityAcademyL The "word rich" curriculum" is likely also key once they've enough phonic knowledge/skill to take off. We simply don't get pupils to read enough, & worse, we usually ask the kids who need to read the most, to read the least howtoteachreading.org.uk/the-practice-g…

I'm writing a new article about checking for listening. If students are not focused on learning, it is more difficult for learning to take place. What methods do you use to check you have the the attention of students?

CHECK IT OUT: We’re incredibly proud to release Episode 2 of Drip by Drip, part of our series on youth radicalisation. It’s a very engaging short piece - moving, funny and hopefully thought provoking. Very proud of the young cast: m.youtube.com/watch?v=rvgAHN…

The French National Assembly just voted to make abortion a constitutional right. This is a powerful message to all feminists across the world. Now, the Senate still has to approve the bill. I’m confident that we will find a majority to make this right irreversible. #abortionright
