If you went a book on behaviour grounded in real world examples & scenarios with practical solutions grounded in research & real lived experience then look no further… They Don’t Behave for Me: 50 classroom behaviour scenarios to support teachers amzn.eu/d/5rFQI5E
🚨 If you enjoyed my @bestpracticenet leadership talk you may well enjoy my new book that is out this June…. Is leadership a race? amzn.eu/d/7UIGvGK
This afternoon 4S have enjoyed building dens in the woods and then toasting marshmallows on a campfire. They were super tasty!
Suspensions…. Much is made by some over the number, eg there’s too many. This potentially misses the point that school X is really consistent & adheres to its expectations.
If pupils feel they can be rude to staff and/or swear at them without any real sanctions these behaviours snowball & become the social norm. For staff it basically says they’re not valued if the school’s response is inert.
Bravo @tdsprimaryphase A brilliant production 👏
PLEASE RT: Tomorrow! Angie Browne @Being_Luminary - "Practical solutions for addressing improvements to student belonging in schools" Free @CharteredColl webinar, open to all! Weds 24th April, 4:15pm Sign up here: tickettailor.com/events/charter… #belonging #edutwitter #attendance
Routine 12 hr school days - I’m not sure this is sensible, practical, healthy, legal, something that can be adequately staffed & funded, desirable, family friendly…. let alone another push factor to deter people from entering teaching.
Worrying £30k a year, coupled with a lack of flex/remote working, sadly isn’t cutting the mustard. Plus, of course, the small matter of paying to train…. Serious investment is needed.

I am looking forward to discussions with CEOs, HTs, Snr + middle leaders, who are developing authentic leadership through NITE's highly practical course. Details can be found here..... coventry.ac.uk/nite/events/20…
I am hugely delighted to be invited by the National Institute of Teaching and Education to serve as their keynote at their Masters in Educational Leadership this July.
Hats of to @NITE_org for getting @Strickomaster as your key note. So great to see the course that started everything for us going from strength to strength. If you’re a school leader looking for incredible PD for aspiring or current leaders, look at this course - it’s gold.

Looking forward to reading this, hoping it answers a few question, coming from a corporate background into education, who determines when it is time for you to pin your colours. Also very interested to hear positive experiences..
@Strickomaster I listened to this today. @Strickomaster you just make so much sense. Brilliant podcast and fantastic book. Thank you for staying the course.

116 Followers 640 Following #1 Selling Education Author https://t.co/mVkfES9zFe@KausorAminAli @Strickomaster Agree. Lots of issue come from outside. Sadly, school culture can exacerbate these issues.
@TheLedge71 @Strickomaster There are enough 'battles' outside home & online that families have to navigate sadly but certainly from my experience, many of the 'issues' got worse over time as boundaries were not set earlier on & it can be very intimidating for teachers to face a taller and angrier teenager
@TheLedge71 @Strickomaster 1/2 Not blaming but asking about the question about responsibility. Where does it begin in early years and infancy? A caring and loving home. A parent(s) to teach the basics of discipline, patience, not to be aggressive or rude and to support the school when the child commences
@Strickomaster & until society, law enforcement/legal jurisdiction addresses the selfish & irresponsible parenting immersed in libertarian do what I want, when I want with who I want... Successful school leaders such as you & others will work very hard trying to manage this rather than solve it
@Strickomaster 1/2 Absolutely agree consequences needed for sure, Sam. But I say this to all posts regarding addressing or responding to antisocial behaviour. Schools are trying to manage issues whose source is from outside the school gates; home, community, negative (anti)social media...
@Strickomaster This is the bottom line Sam … no excuses for allowing staff to be sworn at
@Strickomaster There are times as a headteacher where 12 hours plus regularly was necessary (in my head at the time) but it is seriously deleterious to your health long term and can lead to mistakes due to exhaustion
@Strickomaster I’m knackered. Behaviour is so draining it’s hard to have the energy to continue to motivate Y11s. I would walk out of teaching and stack shelves for a living quite happily if I could afford to pay the bills.
@Strickomaster I leave at 7am and I don’t get home until 7pm every day and I still can’t get all of the things I am supposed to get done (our school culled ALL of the TA’s)
@Strickomaster Work 8 until 5 usually not stopping for break/ lunch, especially at this time of year. Then do a few hours at home in the evening. That’s 11+ hours on a regular basis already 🤷🏻♂️
This afternoon 4S have enjoyed building dens in the woods and then toasting marshmallows on a campfire. They were super tasty!
Doesn’t have to be swearing, could be wearing earrings for PE or swinging on your chair. What you don’t challenge you condone.
If pupils feel they can be rude to staff and/or swear at them without any real sanctions these behaviours snowball & become the social norm. For staff it basically says they’re not valued if the school’s response is inert.
@Strickomaster @daisychristo Can't believe we want Peterborough to win. That must be a first...
@Strickomaster The same applies when parents do the same 😢
I had a fascinating meeting with our local area EP today and we talked about… People Places Activity When students are struggling in lessons/school it’s usually a mixture of the above. So try to keep two constant at any time and then vary the third. Try it? CC…
@Strickomaster Thanks Sam appreciated. Looking forward to the rearranged event.
@Strickomaster Ah brilliant. I'll be seeing you there as you'll be talking to one of my cohorts. Fascinating group of leaders from all sectors of the education world. 👏
@Strickomaster It would undoubtedly increase home ed figures again.
@Strickomaster I was a Headteacher for 25 years, I’m not convinced that this is a good idea for all sorts of reasons- staffing is a huge one. And as a Head I’d feel to be there throughout - at the expense of my own work/life balance.
