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 use clay all the time with children and young people. Research shows that manipulating clay is therapeutic and clay is also forgiving. If a child creates something that doesn't align with what they had in mind, they can squish it and start again. #edusky

Best decision of 2024 so far: Bought a box of postcards and I send one to my nan every Saturday describing the week. Saves trying to yell down the phone, and she has something to look forward to when the postie arrives. Win-win.

I think it's quite important we are as active as we can be here. I really think twitter is dead now and if we don't have a place to talk then we're in danger of losing some useful networks and conversations.
