So sad. That's all. But we have work to do, folks. Those children and their wide eyes are looking to us.

Clever people in my phone: how do you support staff in planning recall tasks based on gaps/misconceptions identified without it being onerous on workload, and not coming solely from summative assessment findings, but also formative?

Today, somebody I highly respect conducted a 'lesson study' in my y10 lesson of me as a teacher. It was absolutely fascinating and I loved the psychoanalytical insights into my teaching style. Can't wait to use this with others and inspire them as he did me. What a fantastic bit of CPD!

So liking it so far, just much more pleasant. We however run the risk of creating a pastiche of #Edutwitter, amplifying some voices (I include myself in that) and ignoring others There are good people with things to say and valuable viewpoints surely this is an opportunity to find those voices.

Absolutely this. I've enjoyed this platform because I've seen and heard from new people this last week. I've seen many a thread about dominant 'eduvoices' and whilst I draw on those a plenty, it's nice to see others and I welcome this platform for its lack of feeling like a popularity contest.

Too often, leaders expect teachers to develop a quality curriculum without really understanding the time that is needed to do it well. There are no quick-fixes and this work cannot be done in a void: clarity of vision and a commitment to professional learning must come from the top. Culture is key.
