Ofsted has failed to take seriously the enormous concerns of the profession. It is a discredited organisation with its name continually in the mud. It is incapable of introspection or change – time to #AbolishOfsted and replace it with a new system that is supportive, effective and far.

Hi everyone, just wondering... Are you a teacher, who fancies writing something (ficton or non-fiction), but don't know where to begin? Or do you already write a little, but would like to be paid for it? I've created teacherwriters.bsky.social for just that. Please spread the word! 😊 #UKEd

If you've recently changed you job and felt tired, frustrated, worried or all 3, it's worth taking a moment to remind yourself of what Christian says here. Automaticity is something we often take for granted, and is especially important in a complex job.

Caption: Earth, Air, Fire and Water wait excitedly to see how they'll fit into Dmitri Mendeleev's table of elements

Image: Dmitri is drawing the table on a chalkboard. Behind him, the four classical elements watch happily. Water says "Look! He's adding a eighth column. That must be for us!".

Been thinking about Pupil Premium recently. The obsession with closing the gap has led to some pretty bizarre practices in schools; the insistence it is a performance measure. Maybe we think about it the wrong way round. Maybe we should consider what the gap might be if we didn't have the funding.

It's #NationalBeachDay! Do you love the smell of the sea? 🌊 For the large part, what you're enjoying is the smell of algal decay with notes of seaweed sex. You're welcome! More in this graphic and @chronicleflask.katday.com's accompanying thread in the replies #ChemSky wp.me/p4aPLT-nf
Infographic on the chemical compounds behind the smell of the sea. Much of the smell comes from volatile organic compounds that contain sulfur. Some compounds, such as dimethylsulfide and dictyopterenes, are released by seaweed, while others, such as hydrogen sulfide, are produced as seaweed decomposes.

Happy Birthday, Antoine Lavoisier! 🎂 Born #OTD in 1743, he is credited with giving oxygen its name, recognising its role in combustion 🔥 and helping to reform how we name chemical compounds. wp.me/p4aPLT-8DB
Infographic image on Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794). Lavoisier is considered the ‘father of modern chemistry’. He discovered oxygen’s role in combustion, described the conservation of mass in reactions, and played an important part in reforming nomenclature in chemistry. He married Marie-Anne Paulze, who observed and recorded notes on their experiments, translated important texts for Lavoisier, and illustrated and spread word of their work. Lavoisier died by the guillotine during the French Revolution.
