Science teachers! I hope most of you will be familiar with this already, but if not, this is absolutely worth a few minutes of your time, especially if you teach Biology:
Look out for this later #histSTM

These are the brilliant questions.
Kindness and Scholarship in equilibrium.
Purposeful understanding as well as Mechanical ability.
Leadership is often tightrope walking.

The bigger questions for leaders:
Can we build a system that keeps rigour and wellbeing?
That judges learning by understanding, not exhaustion?

Sadly no one is listening to the tale these two tell.
It’s been put in the box “too difficult”.

Sure triple science for all will backfire as we don’t have enough teachers. So the most disadvantaged will be taught by supply teachers and the middle classes will be taught by the physics teachers we do have.

I would argue that the better improvement would be to offer single sciences rather than triple science.
This is based almost entirely on personal prejudice, having taken Physics and Chemistry at GCSE. I had zero interest in studying Biology.
This will help with the Physics teacher issue.

This drop off in school enjoyment in England graph is quite telling, isn't it?
It's from the DfE's RISE: Achieving and Thriving Conference - Raising Attainment: Success for Every Child events.
Is what happens in your school reflected in this graph or are you bucking the trend?
If so, how?

Henry, Richard I, Geoffrey & John, well, did everything short of actually kill each other.
Edward IV executed his brother.

‘The art of loving’ by Olivia Dean is even better than ‘messy’. Really enjoying it.

I thought this would be more these days.
40% of secondary schools send reports without any bespoke sentences – instead, pupils receive words from a comment bank or numbered grades only 📝
In comparison, almost every primary school has the class teacher write at least one bespoken sentence about the students (94%).

Watching the remake of MacGyver on Channel 5’s player. I am not pleased that they have broken Matty’s heart. But otherwise it is pretty silly. If you play drinking games for each time a Swiss army knife saves the world you will get mildly tipsy.
