Had a chat with Flora this morning and she said: “Whatever happens today it must be made really clear....this is not about us...this is about Ruth, her family, her community still reeling....
This is for educators all in the same position. We MUST not lose sight of why we are doing this. This is not about this particular school and not about me”
@FloraSCooper doesn’t have an ego, as someone who knows her well, the fact she feels the need to say this speaks volumes. She won’t be able to tweet any more about this from her account but never mistake silence for compliance. Needs our support more than ever in the coming days!! 👊

As an ECT1 I keep hearing the phrase "It will get better when..."
-you build relationships with the kids.
- you complete your first term.
-after your first parents evening
-when a unicorn tap dances across the classroom.
Seriously though, when does it get better? @MrTs_NQTs #ect

Gentle reminder to teachers on strike on Wednesday... DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT DO ANY WORK.
Have a day off, go to the cinema, watch TV, get your nails done, have a leisurely lunch, but DO NOT WORK.
Is that gentle enough?

@MrTs_NQTs I have been told by other teacher friends that apperently if we strike it’s classified as a ‘employment break’ and can affect things such as maternity and pension. As an ECT this is worrying but I want to strike. Have you got any info? @NEUnion

Need a break without kids? Us too! Fed up of your kids? Us too!
(Ours, not yours)
So send yours to us tomorrow morning, and then we’ll send ours to someone else.
Deal?

A strong stand: remove from the classroom any student who makes you, or any other, feel unsafe, or treats you rudely. Have a removal system in place before you need it. Good luck, and best wishes.

Here we go. Number six in our (@teacherhead and me) mini-series is Five Ways to Build Confidence. The link to the original blog is here: teacherhead.com/2022/03/06/f……
We will be packaging all of the one-pagers into a mini-booklet at the end for anyone to download.
"You’ve been an absolute joy to welcome into the school and to work with; quite simply an exceptional trainee and a gifted teacher. I wish you every success and happiness in the future and the glittering career that you so clearly deserve." @yateleyschool it has been a blast ❤️

Here is Noah showing off his custom made mobile phone holder (made in his @DesignTech_ys lessons). Bids under £50 will be turned down, looking for around £150 o.v.n.o.

Yo, quick question for @BorisJohnson. We’ve got a cheeky little careers evening in November about the highs and lows of leadership. Not sure if you’re free, but if you are you can totally pick your preferred topic. We can seat 300 in the main hall, hit up the DMs if you’re free.
The fact I only have 5 teaching days left before I finish my training year is blowing my mind. Where has the year gone?! 🤯😭
Brilliant work from the year 7s this half term. We have been using C.A.D software to design and laser cut acrylic phone holders. They have really got to grips with the theory of thermoforming polymers! @yateleyschool

Another day, another trophy! This time it is our superb @graphics_ys and @DesignTech_ys students were scooping up the prizes at the BAE Engineering challenge.
Huge congratulations to our year 10 students at the BAE Engineering challenge for winning the trophy!🏆 . We are so proud of you all #drivenbydesign #STEM @yateleyschool
Absolutely cracking lesson with the year 9s today. Started them on a mini hand embroidery project, so impressed! (Also my first lesson flying solo now I've been reccomended for QTS!) @bascitt @yateleyschool

Really informative @NASBTT session this evening on Secondary Design & Technology. Looking at computer aided manifacture and making it accessible in schools.
