I’m really enjoying the ‘beyond exuberant voiceless participation’ - so important to let a bit of space into talk!
I’m so pleased this is returning to the conversation in teaching. It has been missing and there is some great stuff here! @knight-rupert.bsky.social
Interviewing @tompalmerauthor.bsky.social for @htenuk.bsky.social was a privilege. Tom's honesty about his personal journey from reluctant reader to author, his research & writing process, & opportunities & limitations inherent in the writing of historical fiction were so refreshing! #HTENConf
Sommer is one of our final year primary trainee teachers. She is looking into mixed age classes and is hoping to get responses to this questionnaire from UK primary teachers: eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...
Hello! It would be great if any UK teachers could fill in this dissertation research questionnaire for one of my fabulous third year trainee teachers - thank you! eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

This is Huxley. He hopes you're having a good day, but if not, he’s conveniently right here and an excellent listener. 14/10 (IG: hugoandursula)
Thanks for your time Rachel - I think you struck a chord with our trainees and the Marjon team! 😊
A joy ❤️
It was a true pleasure to lead this talk on metacognition and modelling to well over 150 attendees.
The feedback has been wonderful too - incredibly chuffed to receive such glowing reviews from so many people!
Already looking forward to next year!
@creativehigg.bsky.social talking to our trainees about inspiration curriculums and stories. Two of my favourite things!
It’s so great to have specialist voices to add to our teaching. Thank you so much!
Metacognition is the little voice inside your head that is constantly evaluating your thinking and decisions- a great definition 🤓
Our conference on metacognition is underway @mrmetacognition.bsky.social talking to 170+ trainee teachers from Marjon University 🤩
I like this very much - fascination over fun 👍🏻

Nathan is always interesting 👍🏻
Bath for the weekend and discovered Helios in the Assembly Rooms. Wonderful installation by Luke Jerram
Public art that honours workers usually feels more meaningful than statues of rich old guys. This Dublin docker is so engaging.
Quite right of course. But also - call me simple-minded - if my partner started getting more money, I’d be happy, not sad, because then WE collectively would have more money, and money famously can be exchanged for goods and services.

What we teach may go into our students’ memory but it isn’t learning if nothing is retained and it can’t be recalled and used next week, month, or year. What it is, is performance: The student performed!

A huge garland made from thousands of dried flowers in pink blue and white. It is hung from the ceiling of a medieval great hall.

No snow in Devon - but I did get to see the beautiful Cotehele garland yesterday. Absolutely stunning and always inspires me to get growing flowers!
#Mentors who (often with the very best of intentions) try to form their #ITT #ECT beginning teacher mentees in their own image (to create a mini-me), can be a real barrier to their progress. The best teachers I've worked with are those who have an authentic teacher identity. 1/
'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go' by Wham was released nearer to the end of the Second World War than to today. Happy New Year everyone!
Happy 2025, beautiful people.
As a philosopher once said, there’s some good in this world, Mr Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.
