1. Don't take on too much responsibility too early....

The debate around isolation rooms has resurfaced, but if we set aside differing opinions for a moment, I think we can all agree, whether we work in education or are parents that every student deserves a disruption-free classroom as a basic standard.
There are many ways to manage disruptive behaviour, and using a separate room for a short period is typically considered a last resort.
All too often we take extreme stories and believe this must be the norm.
2026 LANGUAGE EXAM: I shared this series of lessons last year, but I’ve gone back and revised them to reflect the changes to the AQA English Language exam for 2026. Covers both papers. Use/chuck/change as you see fit! @Team_English1dropbox.com/scl/fo/o6vw4t9p3…

👇 Since introducing these one-pagers in my school in 2022, I’ve seen teachers’ engagement with evidence informed ideas sky-rocket.
Like in any school, our teachers are time-poor, so distilling important ideas into an easily digestible format offers a practical solution.
Here are 7 ways one-pagers have supported our teachers:
Making Every Lesson Count by Shaun Allison & Andy Tharby is without a doubt, a brilliant teaching & learning book. It's one I revisit & regularly recommend to others. Getting to the heart of expert teaching in every classroom! 👏
In the last couple of years, I've seen half a dozen schools which are absolutely smashing it in terms of improving behaviour and standards. They are *winning* for students that were failed for decades.
What's interesting, of course, is that you won't have heard of any of them.
