How a new approach to vocabulary has transformed our reading scores

At a primary school in Leicester, a novel way of leading vocabulary retrieval lessons has boosted Sats scores and helped to develop a love of reading among pupils. Ellen Peirson-Hagger hears how it...

With a generous grant from @towerpoetry, @EngMediaCentre is launching a project to 'map' poetry in secondary schools in England. We're starting with a national survey. If you teach English, please fill in the questionnaire so we get your views & insights. tinyurl.com/3u7d9by7

Having been an AHT for 9 years- it’s a DEMANDING job. (Not saying other areas aren’t!) We do EVERY duty, every day. Cover lessons. Stay behind for all/most school events. Line manage several people. Support them with parental meetings. And teach- a lot! It’s not a job that schools can afford to lose.

❌ Ministers have suggested rising numbers of assistant heads could be the place to target cost-cutting as schools are forced to make savings to fund future teacher pay rises. So what’s behind the rise, and is a cut do-able? @lydiachSW investigates... schoolsweek.co.uk/can-school…

Anon post: I’m interested in exploring alternative leadership structures. Has anyone moved away from the traditional HT–DHT–AHT model? I’d love to hear what senior leadership models you’re using and how they’re working in practice.

I completely agree with @ICT_MrP here - as a parent and as an educator. A heart to heart over a glass of squash would have been great, but to suggest that "real love" is rooted in giggling at your child's poor behaviour when you've picked them up from school is something else!

I’ve had so many messages from teachers over the weekend about this TV advert from Robinsons and I’d love to know your thoughts? Are we as teachers right to be annoyed at how it completely undermines us when so many schools are really struggling with behaviour?

Morning #teacher5oclockclub – @leaningshane raises important questions about NPQs and what leaders really need. One challenge, I think, is how separating design from delivery limits responsiveness in the moment to leaders' current priorities. schoolsweek.co.uk/what-leade…

The Knowledge: What leaders actually want from their NPQs

It's not what the DfE's ongoing review of the programmes is asking about

Will I ever lose the butterflies when waiting for everyone to turn up to a big online CPD session!? 'Have they got the link?' 'Am I still connected?' 'What if no one comes despite signing up?' 😂

Morning #teacher5oclockclub – important article on @SchoolsWeek today. The Y7 dip in engagement isn’t new - but that doesn’t mean we can ignore it. We need to talk about transition, confidence, and belonging. How do you proactively support? Link: schoolsweek.co.uk/revealed-t…

More than one in four pupils begin to disengage from school during Year 7, a landmark study of pupils has found, with engagement particularly low among girls and disadvantaged pupils. The report,...

Morning #teacher5oclockclub! Hope you’ve all had a brilliant weekend. Busy week ahead here - but I’m looking forward to kicking it off with a 7.45am tech test with our Australian keynote for the Bright Sparks Subject Leadership programme. We'll talk accessibility in AfL tomorrow!

Good morning #teacher5oclockclub. Woke up with the birds at 4.30am—beautiful soundtrack, terrible timing. Running on less than 6 hours and a strong coffee. Hope your morning’s gentler. Have a great day!

Schools are not islands, we serve communities in and across places. I highly recommend this new @suttontrust report showing inequality of opportunity by place as well as social class across the country. Leaders and teachers may be interested in the map: suttontrust.com/opportunity-…

Good morning #teacher5oclockclub and @PaulGarvey4 It's the first time checking in for me for a long time (but not because I've not been awake!) - I've been trying to cut down my phone use. Have a great day everyone!
