Talked to a Tory MP last night who was backing Johnson
"Do you think he'd be any good as PM"
"No"
"What on earth will he do about Brexit"?
"No one knows"
"Why do you want him, then?"
"He's the best hope we've got"
"By 'we" you don't mean Britain do you?"
"No the party, of course"

Replacing written marking with immediate verbal feedback means I haven’t taken a set of books home in 18 months. Here, a piece of work is placed under visualiser, live marked and improvements suggested by the class. They improve theirs having been made to think - the vital step.

Prince William and John Carew enjoyed that!

@bbclaurak analysis: "This could mean people want to just get on with Brexit" 🤪

"Whole-school, one-off INSET days where all staff are expected to follow the same activities are unlikely to improve student outcomes.. The way we approach ‘novice’ & ‘expert’ students is different & we need to bear this in mind when educating adults" @bethgg 'Impact' journal

Simple but effective and easily adapted to suit every lesson!

Mark Burns has certainly got me thinking this morning by outlining his thinking on steps towards #leadingexcellenceinteaching @OsirisEduScot

Really can’t remember who I got this idea from but such a good activity to continuously recap and go back to previous learning

Will get Y6 to mark my reasoning paper tomorrow. Wonder how sassy the comments will be 😂. Thanks @MrBoothY6 for the idea
