Honoured and privileged to feature in Phil Naylor’s new book. Seems a while since our natter. Since then headship has occurred #edusky

This reminds me of the slow chat on twitter - I think we should start a regular #EduNerdChat 🤔

Sensible stuff here. Thanks @jonhutchinson.bsky.social
Six years ago, literally nobody asked me what my advice would be for new teachers starting in September.

So I told them.

And now, years later, still nobody has asked me.

So here it is again

***NEW Episode***

Allow me to be absolutely direct:

Your biggest problem next year is going to be low level disruption.

It’s worth having a plan for how you’ll manage it before school starts.

@strickomaster.bsky.social and I discuss some strategies.

Well done Claire for creating such a brilliant start. Welcome everyone #uked #edusky #ukteaching
There are now so many teachers migrating from twitter that it’s impossible to keep up - which is brilliant but I’m definitely missing lots of lovely people!

So - if you tap on the Like button on the post and look at who’s there, you can follow them and follow their follows etc…👇🏼

I don’t want to go back to the bad place so if you’re part of the edu-exodus & looking for people to follow, I’m going to start a little thread of some familiar faces from edutwitter already posting here.

Please tag people to this thread as I know it’s tricky to get started when you first join.👇🏼

Same here. Feels very new and very heartwarming!
Wow. Lots of new followers today! I am slowly accepting that this is where we will need to be. Tell me about yourself? #EduSky #UKED

What is a good site to set up a blogging page. One year into headship I’d like to set up something to record my musings and lessons learnt… #ukEd #ukteaching #edusky

Let's hope Bluesky is the place where we learn to let go of some of the past divisions and begin to learn about each other's positions a bit more

How refreshing to read a real, actual blog rather than those annoying thread things in the other place. The art is not lost!

Are any schools setting up/planning accounts on here instead of using X? #uked #edusky

Love these…will be very useful, even for experienced LM’s #uked #skyed
But it’s easy to forget to be intentional in this way. A while ago, I put together Qs for new line managers that might help them to guide someone through their ideas - not hugely school specific. It’s partly based on coaching training I’d completed.
