So I’ve done a podcast! Still not totally sure anyone will want to listen but would love to hear thoughts if you do... lowlight is saying ‘less’ instead of ‘fewer’ (my dad will never forgive me) but hopefully some highlights too. Thanks so much @dnleslie for having me on! – at Hackney, London
Listen to the latest episode of #becomingeducated with @JesnickMark We discuss ‘lesson cycles’, why intellectual preparation is so important, Means of Participation, Show Me (TLAC techniques) and Mark explains why teachers are Rockstars! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

Feels surreal but this is my job ⬇️ . VP T and L/Curriculum the best job in any school (imo!) and THRS is a special school, believe me, where I’ve had the most incredible 3 years. I’m not leaving, just stepping aside to work more flexibly and can’t wait to see what happens next!
Join Our Good to Great Drive at The John Roan School, Greenwich! 🌟 Leadership Opportunities: Seeking two Vice Principals. 📚 Teaching Roles: Exciting positions available with chances to lead on school improvement for the right candidates.

Happy to answer any questions on here or by DM and do contact the school for a visit next week. Not an opportunity to miss for someone who wants to make a genuine difference for a fantastic school, supportive trust and some of the best young people around (not biased I promise!)

Due to a late change we are about to advertise for what is arguably the best job in a school. Assistant Head in charge of Teaching and Learning. Are you fanatical about teaching? If so this is for you, get in touch to come and have a look around.

Have never done this before on here but @British_Airways impossible to contact and down a lot of money in a compensation claim. No one has responded to emails for 6 weeks and no phone number to call. Please please can someone get back to me.

In particular, AP curriculum, only available because the fantastic current post holder is relocating to Liverpool. Chance to work directly with me and @Ms_RenaB in our T and L team, work with @steveadcock81 and UL subjects advisors and really drive the school forward.

Plus Director of Science - come and lead a new and exciting team with KS3 and KS5 post holders in place! Amazing central @UnitedLearning support, lots of curriculum time and extended SLT role. DM for more details!
This was such a special way to end term. Forgot how inspiring #JPspeakout always is. @SpeakersTrust and @JPFoundation do an incredible job facilitating it but all credit must go to the speakers - an extraordinary thing to do at that age! Was a pleasure to host
Heard so many inspiring young voices at the #Greenwich Regional Final. Thank you to every young person who shared their speech, @TheJohnRoan for hosting, @CllrDHyland for your motivating words, and all the judges, parents, friends & @JPFoundation for your support and empowerment!

Thanks for being there @richardtutt. Was great to see everyone practising so purposefully! – at Hackney, London
Really enjoyed watching the weekly @TheJohnRoan Deliberate Practice staff session today on @TeachLikeAChamp @Doug_Lemov 'Show Me' using MWBs. Expertly led by @JesnickMark and @Ms_RenaB using 'See It, Name It, Do It' methodology. There was a real positive energy in the room.

Very useful and interesting thread on the ‘master skill’ reading and how to build it in school - one to talk about tomorrow @Ms_RenaB. Especially intrigued by these booklets too – at Hackney, London
We launched our new reading for pleasure programme a month ago. It's been great fun, so I thought I would share some details. So much of this work has been done by a brilliant colleague who pushed and pushed SLT to reform our approach to reading at OASP. THREAD:
This is a must read (@EducEndowFoundn do so much great work!). Especially like the part of developing teacher techniques, although only criticism (@DanHudson84 will agree) is calling practice ‘role play’. Idea of mechanisms, as per @PepsMccrea thread yesterday, a game changer – at Hemsby, England
NEW TODAY: Our latest guidance report, Effective Professional Development, is complete with three evidence-informed recommendations to support schools in selecting, designing and delivering high quality PD. More info: bit.ly/3FmylSV Browse now: bit.ly/308OACX

Loved this today! @DixonsAcademies culture an absolute inspiration. Can’t wait to get thinking about our mission map, especially the drivers and artefacts we promote, as well as a couple of ‘big moves’. Thanks for having us @ESteeleEmma @ldsparkes and all the team @DixonsTA – at Hackney, London
Fascinating day learning about @DixonsAcademies culture with @NSMWells and @UnitedLearning. Thank you to @ldsparkes @ESteeleEmma @hitch_francesca et al @DixonsTA for the generosity of your time and quality of your insights.
