My first lesson:
How do I start off with new classes? It's taken me a while, but this is now my routine 👇👇
First, make sure
1. A new exercise book is on everyone's seat
2. All chairs are down
3. Work is on the board

🧵 THREAD! Since introducing these one-pagers in my school in 2022, I’ve seen teachers’ engagement with evidence informed ideas sky-rocket.

Ms Haq showed me there was no ceiling on what I or my friends could achieve.
She set high standards and saw no reason we should not meet them. This is the difference great teachers make.

Hey #CoreMaths teachers. Here's a ridiculous graph (from Telegraph). Clearly 20-24 yr olds will have shorter tenure in their current job (none of them can have over 20 yrs working there!). Some 20-24s will only have been on the job market for a couple of years.

I imagine there’ll be some interest in this - make sure your voice is heard!

Great task- it's so common to get these concepts confused.
Meanwhile whilst the toddler naps, I had a quick idea for our common curriculum on probability vocabulary involving events and outcomes, and the differences between the two. Can anyone think of any I could have missed? #mathschat

If anyone else has used this and has some feedback I'd love to hear it.

Just listened to Keir Starmer’s big education speech. Some big ideas & as ever, I think the devil will be in the detail (which is totally understandable). Here are 4 examples of the pitfalls that need to be avoided.
