URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts...
1) You can do it online here registertovote.service.gov.u…
2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages.
3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing )
4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-vo…

Increasingly noting that prosody is being overshadowed in the fluency conversation with a blinkered focus on accuracy & automaticity. These are crucial elements but if prosody isn't a focus, then too many chn end up as expert decoders, not real readers.

In all honesty - I have no words. Not. A. Single. Word.
In all my years. Never have I seen such insensitivity.
@Ofstednews I would welcome a meeting to discuss this.

The 'behaviour crisis'
I too have seen a post COVID deterioration in behaviour in schools (particularly secondary).
My thoughts and some strategies/mindsets I have found useful...
*Trigger warning, ref to suicide.

*Daily Tip*
Utilise a puppet in maths!
When planning a lesson take time to consider the most common misconceptions children might make. Using a character or puppet can be a great way of demonstrating a misconception and addressing it without singling children out #Mathsweek2021

Is this for Ofsted or a subject review? As an individual you shouldn't be being 'deep dived' that is not what the process is designed for.
Revisit the feedback from previous obs and show that you are implementing their advice. Don't do a wow lesson, just teach what you are due to

Please retweet. Do not put off that doctors appointment as a teacher because you are busy. You are far more important! Any concerns call your doctors! I have a little journey ahead of me and wish I hadn’t put things off!

My school is clearly preparing for OFSTED atm and I'm finding it hard to know what the expectation of me, as an ECT, will be? I understand what it means roughly for the school but can't find any advice specifically for ECTs. @MrTs_NQTs #edutwitter @MissJGM
