🧵 [1] 'Cold call' getting critiqued for increasing anxiety. Here's my take on it, based on working with many kids who have a request to "please don't ask them questions in class".

ALT "I love asking students to reflect on the back of their exit tickets! I ask questions like: 'What surprised you today? What’s something new you learned? What's something that validated what you already knew? What’s something you want to know more about?'" —Educator Katie Perez

Why does thinking hard about something help students learn it?

🥳 A S's return to your classroom is always a cause for celebration!
Reminder via educator @technologylaura:
ALT "Yesterday I saw a student for the first time in awhile – she's been out of school. Instead of saying: 'Where have you been?' or 'Why have you been gone?,' I greeted her with 'I missed you!' Her face literally LIT up. Let's remember our words have power." —Educator Laura Boyd

Our fabulous High School is recruiting. We're looking for a Depute Head, Faculty Principal Teacher (maths and technical subjects) and a physics teacher.
Please RT and share widely - these are great opportunities for teachers and don't come along often

Does choosing where your students are seated really matter? Well, studies have found that it does!

Is there a way to get an @audibleuk account for a school so teachers can share an account and build up a collection of audio books for professional reading? Or is there any thing similar to this? #teachertwitter #teacherlife #teaching #ProfessionalDevelopment

Look what’s arrived 🤩 it feels like a lifetime ago I wrote the case study for @colinmcgill and Jamie’s book… feels so strange seeing my name in print! Cannot recommend this book enough for anyone in their early teaching career.
