Sometimes having a daughter has felt hard but then you wake up to find this note pushed under your door and it's all worth it because omg she's so cute (but also where's my bloody note 😂)

Lots of new people! Hi, I'm Katie- ex teacher and these days I work with education businesses to take the boring admin off their hands so they can focus on doing cool edu stuff. I have a sideline in ActiveCampaign because #automationisawesome

So you’ve decided to join Bluesky? Good for you, it’s a lovely place full of interesting, weird (complimentary) and fun folk. I’ve been here for a year, so I’ve put together this guide as a thread to help you orientate to the culture of the place. 🧵

See...I wasn't convinced by Starmer and if anything this makes me like him more.
Do we all need the Daily Mail to approve the pictures we hang in our homes or is it just the Prime Minister?

Ah the deranged smile of someone who forgot to put the kids to 🛌 and recorded a 📼 for her mailing list instead.

This one's an awesome Chrome #productivity hack I assumed everyone knew - turns out they didn't.

Hit me up if you want to be added to my list before it goes out on Mon.

I thought as a primary teacher (left 7 years ago) I would never have a #gcse story to share but today I found out that one of my y1 kids who had huge additional needs around ASD and who has struggled with a system that's been stacked against him since reception got the results he needed. #educhat 🥲

#EduSky super useful stuff from @missdcox.bsky.social if you need info on #gcse grade boundaries

Nobody will remember:
- your salary
- how “busy you were”
- how many hours you worked

People will remember:
- your vast and trunkless legs of stone
- your frown, and wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command

OK here's a link to the actual "ice lollies on the curriculum" state of primary science report - a summary of a report by the Primary Curriculum Advisory Group comprising ASE, RSC, IOP, RSB. Is a shame they let lollies get the headlines tbh.

Each week we have a ‘pocket of pedagogy’ on our staff newsletter. I would love to start signposting staff to podcasts, blogs, TED Talks, articles, etc. I have some ideas but I’d be really interested to hear what others have listened to, watched or read that has impacted your teaching.

A lot of my #activecamapign email marketing clients are looking at migrating due to price increases.
But migrating comes with many things to consider - so I wrote a blog on the pros and cons of migrating to a new platform.
