Planning how and when I’ll check for understanding (for the most powerful knowledge) during my lessons has been incredibly impactful on student knowledge. It helps me keep a note of misconceptions and ensures I address them in that moment and in later lessons.

You know you’re a historian when you stop and fawn over every bit of history (this wall is from 74 C.E.!!!) you see… this may feel more like a school trip than a holiday to my partner 🤣🤣

My pupils AMAZE me. One pupil decoded the word ‘rejuvenate’ in Geography today as they didn’t know the meaning. Knew ‘re’ meant ‘again’ from Community Reads and also knew ‘juvenis’ meant ‘young’ from their Latin Elective 🤩🤩

THIS is why it’s vital we teach women’s history. Not just on IWD but frequently through embedding it throughout our curriculum. Women’s history IS history, not just an assembly.

Research estimates that women are represented in only 0.5% of recorded history. For #InternationalWomensDay2023 we wanted to highlight some of the 'forgotten' women in history.

I find it hard to talk about things like this on my Edutwitter, but this past week has illuminated the need to. Suicide is nearly 2x the national average in the primary teaching profession. We need to look after ourselves, support each other and campaign for change 💜
