Since the day I started at my school, I kept every email from a parent, personally thanking me. I finally had time to print and put in a jar. I love it!

#TeamEnglish put these together post mocks so students could look at the Macbeth question they did - tick off what scenes they DID write about and then red pen the parts they omitted … other uses no doubt dropbox.com/scl/fo/9cnsapg59…

If you’re looking to create Multiple Choice Questions for your lessons, check out my blog reflecting on how I used MCQs as a tool in my classroom.

There is nothing new about kids bunking lessons if they’re allowed to. Laying this at the door of SEND is simply ducking the fact that children will often opt-out if no one stops them. The main factor driving this isn’t mental health, but human nature.
Sadly in Scotland, the behaviour guidance is so poor, and the presumption against effective boundaries do pervasive, that truancy is permitted to the point of normality.

Apparently universities are having to teach English literature students how to concentrate for long enough to read lengthy novels. I have to ask, what makes a person who's incapable of reading long novels decide that studying literature at degree level is for them?

The best teachers I've seen don't use a wide range of activities.
They do a few things, and they do them well. They hone them, practise them, and know exactly when each one should be used and why. The students become habituated to them, and learning goes through the roof.

The oldest surviving victim of the Post Office Horizon scandal, 92 year old, was offered 29% of the compensation she asked for. Now offered 60%.
Scandalous. Pay them.
