I've made it through another term at the coalface, and I'm so, so tired. I have a heap of marking that I should have done but haven't, as always. I just think, fundamentally, in teaching - we need more prep time and less contact time. 10% is not enough. I feel that statement needs those obnoxious clapping hands, but I'll resist. What is it in other countries...? #Education#Teaching#Teachers#UKSchools#SecondarySchools#edutooter@edutooters
I try to be very positive and cheerful about my profession: teaching. It's a fluffing tough job and you have to see the best in it - every lesson, every day, every student. And it can be the most rewarding and important job a person could do. But, my goodness, today was a challenge. When your leaders don't seem to care about their staff and are actively making it more difficult for you, you just get worn down. But. Tomorrow is a new day. Always. #Teaching#Education#edutooter@edutooters
This is a truly important and groundbreaking book. The antithesis to Andrew Tate, Donald Trump and the like. "Lads" by Alan Bissett - very easy to read, clearly laid out, accessible guidance and advice on how not to be 'That Guy'. How to get teenage boys to read it? Now, that's the challenge... #Books#AmReading#Teaching#Education#edutooter#Lads#ThatGuy#AlanBissett@bookstodon@edutooters
It is disturbing that elementary children are criminalized and unsurprising that it happens to children with disabilities and children of Color at much higher rates. There should be no policing in schools and absolutely none for young children.
This is a fascinating book that I think all school leaders and those with the ability to create culture should read: "What Makes Teachers Unhappy and What Can You Do About It?" by Mark Solomons and Fran Abrams. Less about doughnuts in the staff room and 'optional' yoga workshops, more about real, systemic change #Teachers#Teaching#Education#WellBeing#edutooter#AmReading@education@bookstodon
Interesting about the persistent narrative around teacher turnover...how would it compare to industry? Especially some companies that are allegedly "good" to work for.
My goodness I am tired. There's a certain kind of teacher-tired that kicks in mid-week, mid-November, mid-MockSeason. I don't know what the solution is - I wish I did. Any suggestions...? #Education#edutooter#teacher@edutooters

For the first (ish) time, I'm missing the birdsite - because I've just finished the most incredible book, and in the past I could have tweeted the author to tell him how much I appreciated it. And I can't now. But I can still shout about it here. Every teacher in every type of context should read "I Heard What You Said" by Jeffrey Boakye - about being a black teacher in the UK. It's astounding. #Books#AmReading#JeffreyBoakye#Education#EduTooter@edutooters
I wan to make a request to #Science#Teachers: When you design labs please design some (most) without step-by-step instructions. The chances of your students needing pipette skills in 10 years is remote. What will serve most student better will be the ability to identify a problem, design and experiment that might explain that problem, setup and run that experiment, then interpret the results. Perhaps followed up by design a second experiment if the first didn't help.
Save the "follow the recipe" skills for home ec. The most important thing you can teach your student at any level is experimental design.
I have been working with a group of science teacher educators and teachers on a food waste unit based on US school lunches...
I happened to walk by an elementary school while vacationing in Paris, I could not help myself but to take a picture of the weekly lunch menu and was struck by how different it is from what we get in the US. I don't think I have ever seen anything pointing out sources, if products were organic (never seen organic lunches in traditional public schools) etc...
