It seems BlueSky and Instagram are the places to be for teaching now - I’ll try to check in on here but find me more often over there…I do love a grid (and video options too- oh, the possibilities!) #ukedchat #teaching #teamenglish @Team_English1 @EnglishWales #educhat

I am much quieter on here as I wait for another platform to become the new teaching community, but just wanted to share my ko-fi page as buymeacoffee won't allow donations below £5. If you like my work and want to tip then the links are here with thanks!

Designed for Unit 2 WJEC NEA - originally made on GSlides so some formatting may be needed. This has been tweaked since uploading and is a WIP so feel free to ignore or adapt. Thank you Ready to Teach series! Nadolig Llawen! @teamenglish1 @englishwales #teachingresources

A task to send home to encourage reading over the summer. The children could bring it back completed in the autumn to discuss the books that they have read. https://t.co/6iD4u16i8K

After 3 years it’s been time to review and refine our workload charter, and it’s been lovely to share the update with the @MeolsCopHS team this week. One of the best things we’ve ever done, thank you @johntomsett & Jonny Uttley for writing “Putting Staff First’ & inspiring me

Thank you so much to Dean Atta and @griffinbookshop for some amazing poetry workshops today. The pupils and staff haven’t stopped talking about how amazing they were! @CSC_langlitcomm @EnglishWales #poetrymatters

A teacher told me, "I gave one of my 2nd grade (dyslexic) students your nature poetry prompt. He is reluctant to write because of challenges with spelling, but I suspect he’s gifted. I told him just to write and we’d sort out the spelling later. This is what he wrote."

I have two copies of The Visualiser Handbook to give away. This is for busy teachers who need concise clarity to make live modelling an effect part of their practice ASAP. To enter, follow, like and retweet this post and I will draw winners at random on the 18th July.

Where are schools and teachers migrating to from here? I have Instagram/Threads and BlueSky with a small community but not sure if these are where the party is at!

In the last weeks of the yr, I always returned to looking at how grammar instruction could be improved. I know frequent, low-stakes exercises tied in with SoL is key but, my goodness… it never is a ‘done’ thing, is it!? Sharing my poster here. #SPaG #teamenglish #litdrive

🧵 We’ve all heard it: the more you know, the easier it is to learn. But a recent experimental study puts that claim to the test and the results aren’t what you’d expect.

Inspired by the amazing AIC resource from @emma_dunderdale, here’s a Heroes Breakfast Bites for WJEC Lit tomorrow! Hopefully this will keep conversation flowing in school tomorrow as the croissants are distributed @EnglishWales @Team_English1 https://t.co/If8qAsiRrP

This breaks me open every time.

This is BRILLIANT news! cc @holland_tom
