@Beanie0597 Every athlete knows this as well. Fundamentals build upon each other. Amazing feats, whether of sport, music, or scientific breakthroughs are impossible without strong (even inane seeming) fundamentals. K-12 schools have forgotten this, either intentionally or unintentionally (I…
Since I'm already stirring the pot regarding direct instruction vs. inquiry-based, I'll continue. My 22-year-old told me he wanted to learn to play the violin when he was 5. I sought out a teacher for him and equipped him with the tiniest violin I'd ever seen. He was so excited…
This idea changed my life (and may change yours)... Parkinson's Law:
There is a whole industry of ‘barbers’ on the periphery of education - keen to tell staff, students or parents that they have identified a problem that only they can fix. Follow the money always.

@Strickomaster It may not, Sam. There's a mentality that flatters itself by apparent kindness (which is really no such thing) to small sub-groups, so that it doesn't have to consider broader questions of justice and progress for the mass of the disadvantaged.
Having a behaviour policy is useless unless: 1. Everyone knows what it is 2. Everyone knows what *they* are supposed to do to uphold it 3. Everyone knows *how* to implement it. 4. Everyone actually does it. If 1-4 aren’t happening, then it may as well be written inside a…

This is genuinely terrible. I don't believe it's the work of children. Only adults could be this dense. d1dhn91mufybwl.cloudfront.net/downloads/pdfs…
Fix behaviour before you can fix anything else.
This @TeacherTapp graph showing %age of lessons disrupted due to pupil behaviour is worrying. I hadn't realised just how bad the situation is across the primary sector - 47% of lessons grind to a halt because of poor behaviour. It doesn't have to be this way.
@edudissenter I completely agree. Nothing else really matters until you get the discipline right!
@RaquelMTeaches Credibility amongst stuff - very important point. Though there’s always risk of pushback. Families, children, staff…often don’t want to change.
Indeed. It is one of the reasons why neurodiverse kids do so well at Michaela. The clarity, order, structure and rules benefit them greatly. Traditional teaching and discipline level out the playing field for these kids. Ppl who argue against this are ideologues.
I am astonished at the number of people who loudly proclaim the opposite of what is true, such as that rules and routines are somehow not only bad for kids with ADHD and autism but possibly discriminatory. Rules and routines are an intervention to *help* neurodiverse kids.
@ballater6 Anyone who's taught in Europe will confirm you can have high standards and no uniform. But all countries have diff traditions. I guess most UK parents would be horrified that their child might be kept back a year if they don't meet minimum standards. That's what happens in Europe
Here is our transition video for our new Y7 cohort. Our student senior leadership team planned, produced, directed and acted in this. We hope you like it #transition vimeo.com/940652140
@norchcity Because people on the internet love a good virtue-signalling purity spiral. They really don't care if the children learn or are safe. They just want the rest of their "virtuous" friends to click the little heart on their comments

NEW 29.4.24. 10 Minutes: SLANT SHAPE STEPS in a nutshell! podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/barry…
A lot is said about schools adapting to suit individual children. What about individual children adapting to suit schools? Isn’t that what we all do in society? We adapt. Life teaches us the need/utility of adapting. Sometimes adapting takes a lot of practice over time.
@MrDavidScales SLANT, STEPS, SHAPE really powerful. Opportunities to congratulate pupils for bring extra polite, as polite to us as we are to them.@nigel_whittle
🧵 Give way Mind the gap Fasten seatbelt Look right Ring bell for assistance Queue here Order via the app Keep left No parking Turn off mobile devices Keep off the grass No food or drink All signs I’ve seen recently. They don’t reflect the full culture of the places
“I care deeply, deeply about the most disadvantaged children in society and the education they receive.” “That’s amazing. So you’re going to work in a school with those kids?” “No.” “Oh…ok-” “But I will find the people that do. And I will attack those people on Twitter.”
Neurodivergence, SEND, trauma, additional needs… Schools cannot have 1000+ different approaches. Adjustments, yes. Most of the children in these groups actually want structure, coherent systems & clear rules. They fail to cope without.
@oldandrewuk We struggle. We practise. We struggle less. We start to feel comfortable. We start to feel very comfortable. We feel highly accomplished & open to other challenges. We keep practising. We all used to struggle with walking, speaking, reading, telling time. We practised.
