All thanks to the incredible community here! 🦋

I am currently writing a chapter for a new leadership book commissioned by the PTI. Joining @bsky.app has cemented my conviction that as teachers we become agents of change when we are inspired to learn from one another. My writing is fuelled by a vision of hope. Hurrah!

Just seen a headline in one of the papers, saying Boris Johnson is about to publish his memoirs. A good time to remember this superb letter written during the pandemic.

What's more important to get right:

🔵 The explanation of a new concept

🔵 The checking for understanding that happens afterwards

Give a reason with your answer please.

My first post! I’m bringing across the Dropbox should anyone like to use any resources in here! They need a bit of tweaking now but might act as a good starting point: www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/rize2...
