Having a stepped process has allowed us to access Shakespeare across a range of plays this year! 👑 Today, we had such a good lesson exploring A2, S1 of 'Macbeth' 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

As a result of our process, our post-reading analysis had focus, automaticity, and clear quality! 👑

Jobs done ✅ House deep cleaned 🧹 Car cleaned 🚘 Clothes sorted 👔 Bag packed 🎒 Emails/meetings drafted 💻 Bed 🛏️ 💆‍♂️💆‍♂️💆‍♂️ New challenges, but ready to go again! 💪

Having academic reading booklets ready to go this September is a game-changer! Review for my class, adapt accordingly, and then printed and ready to teach 🙏

'New Topic Intent' cover sheets are ready for all KS3 books to allow students to be actively involved in their learning journey, developing their ability to articulate what they are doing (now and next), how they are learning it, and why they are learning it now 🗣️

Received a few requests recently about making classroom icons. If you're interested in bespoke icons for your classroom/resources, drop me a message! ☺️

Looking good! 🤘🎸

For INSET, I was fortunate enough to present on 'Live Modelling and Live Feedback' in the classroom🙏. My focus was on three key strategies: Thought Process, Success Criteria, and Co-Construction💭

Teachers are the conductors dictating the pace in the classroom. Pedagogical strategies and expertise are our instruments. Students are our orchestra. CPD on pace in the classroom ⬇️⏩

Really successful lesson crafting our introductions today 💪 Using our G-S-T structure has allowed us to develop a clear routine to consciously craft our openings 💭

Narrate your classroom, utilise visual timers and ensure pace with every task to maximise learning time! 🗣️⌛️

Incredible drive today with Y10 to ensure we develop our quote explosions! Really excited to see how we can push on tomorrow 💪

Started my CPD last term by exploring how to utilise a teacher toolkit to its full potentiall. Being aware of your own teaching and learning toolkit and when to utilise different strategies is an incredibly important self-reflection!🧠

Spending lunch reading through responses to populate my whole-class feedback template, create the WCF sheet, ready to respond tomorrow and craft outstanding introductions. Game changer for immediate feedback 🎯

🚨Never underestimate the importance of a clear, impactful entrance routine! Set the tone, greet at the door, have live 'Do Nows' (starters), self-assess, AFL, and proceed into new content and match the most ouf of your fist 12 minutes. Every. Single. Lesson 💡⏲️

Building on our quote explosions, we picked up the pace and explored authorial intent - developing our identification of methods, ability to comment meaningfully, and range of analytical verbs 🎯👏
