It’s the day after @researchEDBmth and I am still buzzing about the sessions I attended. What a fantastic opportunity to invest in my own PD and the students I teach. I know it’s in our own time but I would thoroughly recommend going to events like these if you can. So
Worth it!

Had some really interesting conversations today around imposter syndrome and how women feel they need to be able to do almost everything on a job description before even thinking about going for it. How do you know you are ready to take the next step? @WomenEd
Went to see Cinderella @LighthousePoole on Thursday & still thinking about how wonderful it was now. Spectacular show that ticks every panto box! Our school was given a careers talk by team who created it. What an opportunity! Can’t wait for next year’s!
Here is a thread containing all ten of our 'Five Ways' one-pagers. I've included the links to @teacherhead's original blog. You'll also find a PDF of each one-pager; PDF files are better for printing.

I had a meeting today with an external verifier and got a chance to discuss the fab provision from @WessexSchools. It reminded me how valuable it is to work with trainee teachers. What good things have you picked up from working with a trainee/ ECT1 or ECT2?
Help needed from the Twitterverse. Has anyone got any top tips for Edexcel A Level English Lang Paper 3 investigation. This is my first exam year and I want to do some revision with them but have found resources sparse. Any help would be so gratefully received. #edutwitter
Sometimes I really wonder about my my children. Just watching an episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi and my eldest turns to me and says…. I really like his nose. 🤷🏻♀️

Amazing opportunity to talk with the original Troy from High School Musical UK Tour. What a fantastic moment for the cast of our school production. So much good advice. Thanks @Ashleyday_86 @PDSW_org@poole_high
In light of my upcoming CLTeachmeet (search on eventbrite) I have been adding in dual codes definitions for my students to support them in developing a richer vocab. Reducing cognitive load with wordy definitions. #cognitiveloadtheory@Kerrm_s@ollie_lovell
