There are lots of excellent GCSE English YouTubers: @MrBruffEnglish @DystopiaJunkie @staceyreay @happyteacherhub but I am proud of my Macbeth playlist and Power & Conflict videos. It's a good feeling to reach this milestone:

High-quality teaching is for everyone. But what does it look like in the context of SEND?
We've published a SEND guide for teachers looking to use the Great Teaching Toolkit (GTT) to improve inclusive practice and provision.
The guide provides questions teachers can use to shape collaborative conversations about teaching of learners with SEND, and signposts resources within the GTT to explore this area further.

Ok I hope this will be the most useful conversation you hear about Education this year.
This week’s episode of The Amol Rajan Connection (ARC) with @daisychristo of No More Marking has really struck a chord.
Anyone with kids; or who works in schools, colleges and universities; or who is interested in the very nature of learning and how the mind works; or what technology is doing to us, will enjoy this. That’s not my view alone; it’s the revealed view of the comments flooding in.
We discuss:
+ working memory vs long-term memory
+ the risk of creating a Stupidogenic Society
+ why Knowledge is Freedom
+ schools for the rich and skills for the poor
+ how to optimise vocational education
+ the implications of AI for education
+ what children should learn
+ technology and the classroom
+ Labour’s education policy
Something for your weekend perhaps.
We’d be honoured if you’d others listening to this episode.
Thanks so much for your time - and to Daisy, for a very special contribution to the ARC Universe.

Two years ago I led my schools oracy strategy.
We did very little across the whole school because there were other things that would have a greater impact on students futures than introducing a lot of different frameworks etc..
Instead we looked at two specific strategies.
