Tips for remote learning:
🔹Should be mostly asynchronous for equity.
🔹Students value the chance to check-in for a chat to show you care.
🔹It's hard for teachers, parents and young people.
🔹Reach out for help and support if you are struggling, technically, emotionally.

any plans to ask teachers what they think of your interface for recording professional learning?
Many seem to find it time consuming to enter information. Time spent on professional learning and reflection important, time inputting less so.

Teachers have you claimed the £312 allowance for working from home?
You can claim for the whole year now irrespective of the time spent working from home.

Alternative to P1 tests is to trust teacher judgement based upon thousands of interactions with the children across the year. P1 tests are unnecessary in the view of the specialists that teach young children. The test doesn't add anything.

If I can be replaced by a computer then fair enough. Preparing work for Teams/Google Classroom actually takes much more time, plus students learn better with relationships.
However if closing schools prevents spread and grandparents dying then it is worth it for a short time.

My argument
@TesScotland
that leaners should get as much time as we can give them to learn. We should move the SQA date for Higher estimates later. These are unprecedented times and for equity purposes we should do all we can for young people.
Scottish schools are due to submit their Higher grade estimates in late May, but more learning time is needed, argues

Consistent with earlier guidance and again inconsistent with their own subject guidance that just had the three mentions of exam.
Things should be admitted to be what they are.
Similarly a pretention that the next 5 weeks are not mostly assessment focused is disengenous.

I think all sensible mentors and schools should share their schemes of work and resources with new teachers. It is not realistic to expect you to create all the time. Unsustainable and detrimental to you and the learners.

🔹Clarity of instructions and clarity of the learning task key for success.
🔹Ask students what is working what is not and why it is hard. Get their feedback.

Would love to see more/every school having this position. Some are covered in part by different titles but with the name of pedagogy there can be no dispute about what the role is.
I hope it is a permanent post rather than a temporary one.
I would love to do a job like this.
Today, Berwickshire High School appointed a Principal Teacher: Pedagogy. I am tremendously excited about the impact this is going to have on our professional learning culture, and teaching practice across our school.

No mixed view from me, I would ban all use in class.
Much addiction to them, Snapchat, TikTok, games (Tetris, Crossyroad, Football manager, Darts, Pool, Casino, Slots).
Need a calculator use one of those rather than the phone.
Teachers have mixed views on banning phones in schools, but the vast majority say mobiles disrupt classes
