I say this almost annually now but kids really should receive accurate exam outcomes on results day. To see a student go up 2-3 grades in all of their subjects following a review of marking really isn’t acceptable.

My message to the youngsters receiving their exam results today? Please remember that more school and then university is not your only option. It will no doubt get rammed down your throat, but spending three years studying some bullshit degree at a nonsense university will not

Pro tip: Wait a beat for answers after posing a question to your class Not only will your learners have a variety of processing times, but giving that extra minute can lead to more in-depth, thoughtful responses #edutwitter #bethedifference

Pro tip: Young people require a *minimum* of 60 minutes exercise a day. Being outside, and being active, is immensely important to our wellbeing Ensure this is happening. There's always 'a reason', but if our young people can't get an active hour in the day, something is wrong!

Pro tip: Build routine into your day Whether it's morning jobs, daily exercise, or clean up before home time It's great to get students into the mindset of completing tasks on a daily basis. Remeber, practice makes perfect! #edutwitter #bethedifference

Deployed my one simple trick for not having to find my lanyard, laptop and planner: simply not unpacking my bag in July. The bag did gain a spider, mind.

Brad Weinstein Absolute nonsense. Teachers are there to teach. By all means, build great relationships with pupils but teachers are not social workers or therapists.

I never thought there'd be any other outcome, but it doesn't sit right that Isak will be rewarded for downing tools and being unprofessional In what other industry can you behave that way and get huge rewards? #Isak #NUFC #LFC

Hope today has been a positive one for you (whatever it looked like) remember the academic year is a marathon, not a sprint. Pace yourself and for the first few weeks prioritise routines and expectations - getting that right now will maximise learning time in the long run!

Pro tip: Mix up your formative assessment strategies πŸ§‘β€πŸ« Revision squares, reduce an idea into a set amount of words, transform a concept into an image, or physically act it out There's many different ways to show learning has taken place! #edutwitter #bethedifference

Thinking back, I genuinely can't believe this happened. But it did. Right outside my classroom window. Pro tip: If you're a member of SLT, Don't ever do this! #edutwitter #Teachersof𝕏

Pro tip: Setting high expectations in the classroom, and reinforcing them, is such a powerful tool in teaching.Β Showing that you truly believe that excellence is possible from everyone can instil confidence in your students and boost attainment #edutwitter #bethedifference πŸ‘¨β€πŸ«πŸ‘©β€πŸ«

Pro tip: Praise effort, not just results. Recognising a student’s hard work, saying, 'I can see you really put time into this,' encourages persistence and a growth mindset #edutwitter #bethedifference
