Going GENUINELY phone free in schools is hard.

Hard to police.
Hard to follow through.
Hard to deal with angry parents.
Hard to keep consistency across staff.

But it CAN be done.

Needs full engagement of SLT and serious backbone.

HOLD THE LINE. ✊🏾

Indeed.

The power of culture.

It eats strategy for breakfast.

Ways of being morph before our eyes and then people say, ‘but it was always this way’.

Culture sneaks up on you when you aren’t paying attention.

Ha ha! 🤣

Michaela, who we named the school after, used to take her marking to Inset training and sit in the back quietly getting on with things.

If staff can’t see the point of CPD, then leadership need to change a number of things.

‘…allegedly told white attendees of a training seminar that they “had to take a step back and yield to colleagues of color” and “recognize that values of white culture are supremacist”’

NY and so much of the US is down a dark rabbit hole. nypost.com/2024/01/24/met…

This makes it abundantly clear that the brightest kids are at MIT.

Whichever elite universities follow will be in competition for those brightest kids.

Great teaching.❤️

‘Expert induced blindness’ stops ppl from being great teachers as they assume expertise in the novice.

Here, this expert uses his expertise to simplify, drill and succeed.

Repetition is key.

This is excellent teaching of non-experts.

My speech at The Alliance for Responsible Citizenship last year - 11 mins - defending Michaela multiculturalism.

I argue how to make multiculturalism work.

Trigger warning for both those on Right and Left.☺️
