This week I accepted a Head of Year role. I’m still in shock but absolutely over the moon! 😀

Brilliant thread 👏
The 'behaviour crisis' I too have seen a post COVID deterioration in behaviour in schools (particularly secondary). My thoughts and some strategies/mindsets I have found useful... *Trigger warning, ref to suicide.

Accountability/responsibility in education is often applied in this order (top being the most): Teacher Parent Student It should go: Student Parent Teacher And until we sort that, many of the problems we have will continue to worsen IMO.

Has anyone got any pastoral resources on key awareness days? Asking before I make from scratch! @Pastoral_School @PastoralMrC @PastoralERM @PastoralAht @PastoralFella @PastoralThings @PastoralGuy @Mrs_Pastoral @ellisjoanne @safeandhappy
Last week I said goodbye to my lovely Y11 cohort. I have been their HoY since Y8 and formed such a wonderful bond with so many of the pupils and their families. This card really got me. ❤️

Listened to #TheDiaryOfACEO with @SteveBartlettSC and these words inspired me... Being a leader isn’t just about you. It’s about the people that you pull together and the culture that you create.
I ❤️ whole class feedback. 20 books looked at in half an hour. Valuable feedback done. Ready for a DIRT lesson.

Since reading @FunkyPedagogy’s (amazing!) Metacognition Handbook I’ve been considering how I can teach more metacognitively. I’ve made this flowchart in the hope it will help students to think & learn more independently - excited to trial it in September and see its impact!

Spot on 👏
Can I ask when we are all going to start campaigning to get all Teachers in the UK vaccinated to get these kids back to school ASAP .... Are you forgetting @BorisJohnson @MattHancock that kids are missing out hugely educationally & emotionally through all this ... ???
