Came across #Staged whilst browsing BBC iPlayer last night. Highly recommend it! I love David Tennant & Michael Sheen in most things but the episode with Samuel L. Jackson was brilliant.

Hello BBC Archive Secondary school English teachers would love to be able to access the 1982 production of An Inspector Calls as it is a very faithful adaptation of a text set for GCSE exams. Why is it not commercially available - and can you please consider making it so? 😊

A Year 11 sent me this screenshot of their homework on Seneca - “I understand you might not appreciate this Miss”. The fact they’ve gone out of their way to make me laugh when I’ve been pretty grumpy at school recently... I appreciate that more than they realise. #teamenglish

Great news that my school is being rebuilt! Not looking forward to all the disruption during the building work but it’s desperately needed and definitely going to be worth it for the long-term benefit of everyone in our school community.

Can anyone help with this please, by filming a short video on their phone and/or retweeting? Deadline extended to 26th Feb. I’d be really grateful so I can showcase as many careers as possible to our students! #nationalcareersweek

Are you able to help my students by filming a short 3-5 minute video talking about your job? Literally any job would be fantastic... I’m missing lots of the popular careers at the moment and would love to showcase a whole range. Please retweet! facebook.com/groups/whatson…

Love these ideas for new school bell sounds - if only we could make them more exciting! Some of those would cause chaos though... instagram.com/tv/CMsKjJ5Flag…

Finished a very hectic term cheering on my tutor group in house sport this afternoon, which I wouldn’t usually get to see. Some HUGE personal achievements as well as collective success. Unbelievably proud of each & every one of them! #tugofwarchampions #roundersrunnersup

Never agreed with a Twitter thread more... every single comment!

Very lucky that I have absolutely THE best colleagues I could possibly ever hope to work with. In-school work experience has been a huge challenge and so many of them have gone above and beyond to help me with it (even those I barely know!) Blown away by their kindness. #TeamTK

For teachers that’s #1ineveryclassroom (and 80% are unaware they are by Y7). Having screened our students, I know I have up to 4 colour blind students in some classes. More awareness is needed of the simple adjustments you can make to ensure learning is fully accessible to them!

Footage of teachers next week trying to teach combined classes on the school field.

This is the dream! Workload is so unmanageable. Written feedback on assessments, then verbal feedback constantly, regular low-stakes quizzing and self/peer assessment should be enough. Much more effective to look as they work and give them feedback to act on immediately.

Wrote a little article for the local paper… stroudtimes.com/supporting-the…

Can everyone *please* check the duty rota to see if you are the Prime Minister this afternoon and make sure that you are there if you are.

Going to be teaching Darkside by Tom Becker for the first time to a Y8 mixed ability English class next term. If anyone has any PPTs/SoWs etc that they wouldn’t mind sharing, I’d be very grateful! #teamenglish #edutwitter

People always question why I support the #Netherlands but you can’t deny they play exciting, often unpredictable football! #NetherlandsvsArgentina #HupHollandHup #WorldCup2022

Whilst I love #TheTraitors it is a very similar concept to #TheMole on Netflix, except in the latter we don’t know who it is either, so it’s a little more exciting trying to work it out. Highly recommend as your next watch if you like #thetraitorsbbc #thetraitorsuk

Just used Stuart Pryke's Macbeth Battleships with Y11 and it went down a storm. Does anyone have any games (Battleships or otherwise) for ACC, AIC or P&C poetry please? #teamenglish

I’m taking on a Y10 class once a fortnight this term, revising P&C poetry. Any quick, effective, engaging activity suggestions to find out what they know already? They’ve had supply teachers since Christmas (English specialists but no way to check with them) #teamenglish
