P1 Placement final week 🥹
An absolute privilege to have worked with such incredible staff. The children were an absolute delight to play with, teach and learn from. I am extremely sad that placement is over.
Too much to summarise in one post but it was insightful, encouraging and fun!

"When the expected standard is 54 marks out of 110 (as it was in 2024 KS2 Sats), it’s clear that we do not really have a mastery system."
It's always baffled me how there has been a sustained national push towards a mastery approach, yet the assessment framework has remained woefully misaligned.

How to fix the primary maths curriculum
‘Phonics’ for maths and more pleasure in the subject should be the aim of the primary maths curriculum, and this is how we achieve it, argue Peter Foulds and David Thomas

What a brilliant, enlightening and humbling week.
I’m learning so much every minute of every day with every interaction. I’m so impressed with the professionalism of all the staff and how they handle every type of incident.

I am extremely enjoying being in an environment where I can really experience being a teacher. Helping the P1’s learn, play and grow is one of the best things I’ve ever seen. And it’s only been 2 weeks!

I am loving my primary one class and the experience of actually doing what I’ve changed everything in my life to do.
Fulfilment, joy, nurture, creativity and impact. So the real work begins.

So so relevant as I sit here writing my critical analysis on Poverty as a social justice topic that needs addressed.
Apparently by 2030 we will have ‘eradicated poverty’ …. So that’s good.

The responsibility of a teacher to make a difference is very heavy. The @morayhouse.bsky.social mini conference showed us the emotional impact of racism on the children who experience it. We examined our own privilege, building racial literacy and experienced poetry by Tawona Sitholé.

Giving me shivers recalling feelings of embarrassment and of being singled out… however I completely understand and agree with the approach. Hearing the same voices is unhelpful and not reflective of the whole group, encouraging engagement is more interesting.

Helpful reminder that our window of tolerance for stress and our ability to cope with demands fluctuates every day and throughout the day. Something that is easy and straightforward on one day can feel exhausting and overwhelming on another. The same applies to the kids you teach. #EduSky #EdPsychs
Hey folks - this is your reminder of this important graph from @AdamMGrant. You may be tempted to go above and give it your all, especially if you're an educator at the beginning of the school year, but it's fine to pace yourself and listen to what you need. #teacherwellbeingselfcare

We crafted in new groups a framework starting at purpose and building from there.
To have purpose brings intent and then value.
