Always learning; 25yrs IT leader, 16yrs teacher. Aim to make maths OK rather than it being OK to be not good. Not there YET. Brain plasticity enables learning.

Most schools are now back. How many staff and students see their school has a #YesUCan culture? @bphillipsonMP #edutwitter

Interesting how this school had pilot and now volunteered for early inspection. Is that a common pattern? Wonder how much diversity of thought goes into @Ofstednews thinking, preparing and consulting ? Does @matthewsyed have any insights ?
We’ve had the call! 📞

Dear @Keir_Starmer @bphillipsonMP Is this a spoof? If not what is its purpose please? Concerned for tax payers value for money, @branwenjeffreys

These behaviours seem to be well received and are a consequence of #YesUCan 12 principles. The 3 relevant principles here are Brain plasticity- build the path Better today than yesterday Believe to Achieve
@Miss_S_Gibbons Top 3 for me: 1 They know they are responsible for their achievements. Improvement requires their effort 2 Set the expectation of improving every day. Small steps will get to a big jump by next May 3 Let them know you believe they can improve. Get them to believe in themselves.

Dear @bphillipsonMP How much did this promotional material cost please? Does the video impact progress of any child! Could that money be better spent on children’s education? @SkyNews @BBCNews @itvnews

Good luck to all those Year 12 resitting Foundation tier GCSE Maths this week - remember, about 10,000 students will achieve Grade 4 or better this time round, so be one of them! Make it the shortest “endless cycle” ever known

#today @BBCr4today The separate science discussion. Suggest you consider it’s a correlation effect not a causation on future outcomes. And @bphillipsonMP One off formal testing (for reading) does not enhance progress. “Weighing a pig every day doesn’t speed its weight gain”.

Dear @bphillipsonMP You seem to be proud to be going round in circles. Where is your priority: @educationgovuk or self? Education needs 100% focus. It’s not a part time activity. Your latest initiatives seem to reflect part time thinking though. #edutwitter @branwenjeffreys

Dear @Keir_Starmer @bphillipsonMP Yet another motherhood and pie message.Retaining teachers is where your priority should lie. With CPD the good ECT will be even better after 5 years and even more after 10 years. What are you doing to reduce loss to the profession? #edutwitter

This from @MrMetacognition reminded me of the @CharteredColl article that discusses mathematics “journey” . https://t.co/jlSCpqrphT

As a teacher of mathematics, I heard many conversations about whether GCSE is a two- or three-year programme of study and in what order we should teach the various interconnected topics in mathemat...
@Maths4ukplc Absolutely! My key points on seeing primary are around: 1) systems (and how they vary hugely in primary) 2) curriculum flow (that learning doesn't start at KS3, and a lot came before it).

#r4today Fascinating discussion on insects earlier. Why is it please that we no longer have car windscreens and headlights covered in insects? @BBCr4today @bbcnickrobinson

Dear @bphillipsonMP “you can take a horse to water but you can’t make it drink”. I’d suggest that non attendance by a child is a consequence of seeing no purpose as they have a lack of belief in being able to learn . Does your plan transform mindsets? @tombennett71 @BBCr4today
This back-to-school season, we're driving up attendance through our Plan for Change. Missing school impacts future earnings - but we're turning the tide with 5 million more days in the classroom last year. Find out more about how we're improving attendance:

Agree, if “best job “ means most opportunities to influence most people. Imagine if everyone believed they could be better at something today than they were yesterday. #ECT

Dear @wesstreeting I’m told my neighbour’s daughter who is a fully qualified experienced midwife cannot get employment in London because she is told there is a @NHSEngland recruitment freeze. Is that true? @BBCNews @itvnews @SkyNews

True for taking examinations. Put the proper practise in and be prepared to rise to challenging questions.
The team that wins the process wins the game. In other words, successful teams work the hardest during the offseason, prepare the best during the week, and execute the best during the game.

KS2 SAT’s in England today. How many teachers and parents will have a “growth “ conversation with the children? Stressing high attainment due to their effort and not guaranteed or lower attainment can be improved. Nothing is static or fixed #LabelsAreForJamJars @jpembroke
