I am always impressed by both the content of these as well as the work that goes into making them. It's such a great resource. Thank you.
Even if you’ve no kids in yet, use tomorrow’s TGT to show some colleagues what it’s all about.

Reminder that this year there will be a choice of text-rich and text-light slides.
Not many kids back in school tomorrow, but TGT is back anyway just in case. We begin by remembering the incredible talent of Tom Lehrer who did this summer at the age of 97.

@teachertapp.bsky.social telling me I didn't answer the questions yesterday (when I did) they when I click to restore my streak my answers are all ticked off. Have I lost a lifeline?!

There is a lot to be said about buying some exciting lunch items and doing some dinner meal prep. Monday to Wednesday is looking good, and by the time it gets to Thursday, well, it is nearly Friday, so I can cope with whatever.

Could you repost this for me good people? I'm hoping to reach as many folks as possible.
For a while I've dreamed of running a #BrewEd flavoured 'Festival within a festival' at one of the big summer music fests. Performances, talks, creative workshops. It looks like it might actually happen this year? Might you come along?

This sounds brilliant! What a fantastic idea.
For someone with aspirations to be a head, I've been increasingly concerned by retention of heateachers. This month I'm starting a 58 week podcast series where I spend 30 mins with a head from every county in England hearing the reality of the job. First episode at the end of Jan

It will take a while but I should be okay.

I have managed to avoid snow shovelling for most of my adult life. Pretty good to say I live in the North. I have seen photos of me as a child doing it, or at least pretending to. Today, I have done soooooo much of it. I never want to do it again.

We were seeing a 98% drop in exposure over on Twitter. The censorship was so extreme we thought it best to start over somewhere else. We chose Bluesky.

I hope Classcharts is working tomorrow. I didn't like not having it as a crutch today.

When companies spam you with things, they should just put the prices in. I am NEVER going to email to ask how much £. If it looks good, I will assume it's too expensive & my budget won't stretch. I don't want to end up on more spam lists. If I had an idea, I'd be more likely to engage.

This is a very good thread. It's an interesting read and builds on things I have observed. I am happy about my journey, despite the frustrations along the way.
One of the things which has struck me about the interviews @Sam_LGibbs and I have been doing for our book has been that many of the 100+ teachers we've interviewed, who've served 20+ years are career teachers...a thread 🧵

I keep on reminding myself that this time of year is always like this, and when you make it to Christmas, you can make it make the whole school year 🌟

I think I just got my first (attempted) bot account follower. I got between 3 and 5 a day on x. It became part of my morning routine to go to my follower list to block. It took 4(ish) days for it to happen on here, so I suppose it's better. I enjoyed the respite.

Things are getting busier here, so here’s a reintroduction.

I’m Pete, a head of physics who believes that teaching is hard and should be made easier.

That’s why I made sciencedoctor.school.blog. There’s no point in us all making the same worksheet/booklet.

I adore TAL and the work of their inspirational staff, such as @haledonal.bsky.social
They have established a juggernaut of education just out of the centre of Leeds. They *are* the Northern Powerhouse!
I adore Read with a Rule from our @TrinityAcademyL Literacy Strategy.

✅️ Teachers expertly modelling the reading process.
✅️ The increased focus and purpose of students.
✅️ Accountability for students actually reading.

I bought a 12 day Advent calendar to count me down to December and my *main* Advent calendar, as November is always quite a tough month in schools. I have started it today. Looks like the last few days of November will be chocolate for breakfast!

Still no luck getting a placement. Shares (still) appreciated, and any contacts that may be able to help with this would really, really be appreciated!
Urgent primary placement support needed in Nottingham and surrounding areas...

I'm needing to find one January half-term KS1 placement in North Nottingham, and one in and around the Alfreton/Ripley area.

Can anyone help? Please share, tag and DM me!
