It cannot be right that a scrupulous approach to working within the law and one’s remit could be deemed to be in breach of the Civil Service Code.

If you’re feeling stuck, read this… I call it the Clarity Curve: When you’re stuck, you’re waiting for clarity. You make that clarity a precursor to action. But in reality, the relationship is the inverse: Action creates clarity. In the beginning, the Clarity Curve is

Anxiety can be caused by weak instructional methods. Good teaching = less bad at math. Anxiety can also come from weak motivational methods. Not all kids want to discovery-learn it for its own sake, not when repeatedly failing around other kids who have long passed them by.

In 2000, the S&P 500 had an elevated trailing P/E of 26, well above its long-term avg. of 14. For the next 11 years, the S&P 500 delivered zero returns! The current S&P 500 trailing P/E is 30 – even higher than 2000. History rhymes. For standardized performance visit our website.

Super proud of where @DrArleneHH and I have landed with this project! We hope it will act as a practical guide for teachers and leaders keen to think about the role that rhetoric plays as a critical part of any school literacy strategy. @routledgebooks
After @DrArleneHH mentioned in her #LitdriveCPD23 session, we are delighted to be able to share our joint project! Looking forward to providing a practical guide for teachers keen to implement rhetoric as part of their curriculum provision for pupils. Exciting stuff! 🎉
