I decided to take some biscuits into school tomorrow, but thought I'd better check with @educationgovuk that I wasn't contravening regulations. I checked - has anyone else had a chance to read this yet? Might be worth bringing to the attention of your SLT asap. #teachertwitter

"I am just a human being trying to make it in a world that is rapidly losing it's understanding of being kind. Kindness is an integral part of our human nature, we must strive to return it to the forefront of our human experience."- Robert John Meehan #quoteoftheday #quotes #quotesaboutlife

"I love seeing other women succeed & like to surround myself with women who light one another's candles, not extinguish them. Education is all the better for their presence. Education giants like @MaryMyatt & @Counsell_C have shaped the way that I think..." @HughesHaili 1/2

I've stripped back spending to only things I cannot teach without: last year I paid for glue sticks, pencils and a number of books to aid teaching of particular topics.

I read #thereasonijump in one sitting, wish I had read it years ago. A wonderful way to get an insight into the mind of someone with autism. It will help my mental health hugely as I navigate the challenges involved with this. #specialneedsteacher #teacherbook #edutwitter #summer

Everyone who works with and in schools is time-poor. Many of us wish to engage with evidence/research to drive development. I'm grateful for those who take time to put this research into digestible books that are easy to read. A thread of books that have guided my thinking. 🧵

Such an important sentiment. Striving for 'outstanding' undermines the fact that #goodteachers are outstanding in some areas, but are still #learning, make #mistakes and prioritise their personal lives as well. This feels like a much healthier ambition.
"I believe that there is a need in education for the ‘good-enough’ teacher, particularly in response to the tyranny of the ‘outstanding’ teacher (which is a form of perfectionism, in my opinion). The good-enough teacher goes their best to care for & educate their class…" 1/2
