Looking forward to the 5am alarm clock to drive down to REd Warrington tomorrow. Nervous about my own session; but excited to hear others.

Join me at ResearchEd Warrington

My final post on X was caused by tweets like this appearing in feed. Please please please UK Geography teachers reassure me that cloud coverage and weather will always be taught in school….

#1 Have been reading this solid since New Year’s Day and the end is in sight…

This is 2025…

Todays project (with a little help from a friend)

Dad… can you teach me about London…

Still loving reading and rereading @adamgrant.bsky.social

As a husband of an Irish wife the importance of today is not lost on me… we have snack boxes filled, matching Jim jams on and we are ready for the #LateLateToyShow @latelateshow.rte.ie

Yep, that feels about right…

Next up is @aienglishteacher.bsky.social who starts by telling us that it is more about artificial than intelligence… wise words!
This is a really straight forward stuff but important to show!

What an incredible show this evening. Students did an incredible job at putting on such a deep comedy. I loved every second!!!

Day one of review today. I always read Eisenhower’s D-day speech the morning of anything like this… our task may be insignificant compared to those in 1944; but the words always stir something in me!! #edusky

All ready for 9 peers from Pele Trust joining us tomorrow for a review of where we are. Feels like the night before Christmas…

What do you think of our remembrance installation. As students walk towards it, it disappears from view just like those killed in conflict… before reappearing a few seconds later to represent the act of bringing the memory of those fallen to the fore…

It was the most poignant moment of my career today dedicating our memorial to the fallen soldiers here at DCHS. A memorial that disappears as children walk up the path to school to remind us all of those that disappeared from this earth in conflict, as our memories of them also do; it reappears also

urrently reading ‘Think Again’ by Adam Grantand it’s become routine, and something of a reflective 30mins every night for me this new school year.
Tonight it was looking at ‘imposter syndrome’ and how it can be helpful to ‘lean in’ to it!

It may be a little late in the analysis stage - but feel free to share this spreadsheet; it shows cumulative A-level grade distribution over time with 'covid' years removed.

I saw this last week, saved it and now it sits in the front of my diary.
Tough days are not common, but when they are ‘lean into them’ #edusky #sltchat
