Sitting at my desk marking and I discovered 3 reasons why I know I need to lose weight. Firstly, trying to take your jumper off and you can't; you keep trying and eventually succeed and realise it was stuck on your belly sticking out from your trousers. I realised I didn't need another 2 reasons!

Had the night off and, apart from planning lessons, did nothing else and instead had a photography session with my daughter. Literally the first night off in 3 weeks and I feel so much better! Lesson...always take time for yourself.

Before school, break time (or recession for those from America) lunch time, after school...marking, marking, marking. Mock exam time is always busy. Only another 24 LP1s to go. 😬

My Sunday. Marking is essential but THE most utterly boring and time consuming part of the job.

When you're entire school's focus is changing, it's hard to know where to start in your own leadership role. And what happens if your priority isn't the same as your line manager's?

As Don Moyer illustrated in the HBR, we spend a lot of time and money in developing people's expertise over the length of a career — and then lose it all when they leave because of no system in which it is passed on.

Can anyone recommend any good online training for teaching organic chemistry at A level? Since my colleague left who taught all the organic I've been left teaching it, but it's not my strength - I'm better at Physical and Inorganic. I could do with brushing up my knowledge and skills #ChatChemistry

In Leicester we start our teacher days next week. I always get overwhelmed with emotional oxymorons at this time.

Seeing as Bluesky feels like the good old days on Twitter back in the day, can people please post in the comments, tweets about education they would've posted back then?
E.g. 'What are people doing for their Visual Learners?'
Please RT and use the hashtag #goodisholddays.
