Missing the banter of EduTwitter? I am but don’t miss the craziness and pile ons. Enjoyed this discussion about the changing use of social media by educators. Thanks Tom and Adam.
If you are interested in Twitter VS BlueSky VS Threads VS LinkedIn VS Insta/TikTok for teachers - Then tune into this at 7.30pm this eve. Myself and @adamboxereducation.bsky.social will discuss! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD4H...

Not surprised but still sad to see the figure about head teachers.

I hadn’t realised how far my teaching has gone towards tech first, teacher second. Why? I don’t know. Time poor? Juggling too many subjects? Stress? Lack of physical resources for 33 pupils e.g clocks? Thanks for this reminder. Follow up discussion here open.spotify.com/episode/0SUF...

Be interested to hear about what is coming. Hoping the primary curriculum is significantly narrowed. #scotedusky

#ScotEduSky incredible post here on ASN in Scotland. Almost half my pupils have ASN. Seems like this is becoming the new normal. Class size reduction and proper support essential. ASN teachers have been put back in class where I am. Make it make sense.
I've pulled together more data than ever before on the state of additional support needs in schools, liberated it from government and SQA spreadsheets, and presented it in ways that, I hope, make it accessible for everyone.

Sharing a screenshot I took recently about direct instruction. Would love to know your thoughts. The statement calling to me at the moment is Feedback Feeds Forward.
