Trying not to feel deflated about still not having a job for September but it's so hard when it's all you've ever wanted and this is the last hurdle to that dream... Does anybody have any good recommendations for supply within the Midlands area? Thank you 😊 @MrTs_NQTs

Thinking about how to run library lessons next year 🤔 what I’d like to do is a class reader followed by short activities to develop oracy. Thoughts? What do other people do in their library lessons atm? #literacy #English @EnglishWales #TeamEnglish #edutwitter @Team_English1

My first share, so be kind... This isn't anything revolutionary, but I have put together an approach to section A of both Language papers (AQA), using the frayer model. It covers key skills, key focus, examples and some sentence starters. dropbox.com/scl/fi/lzp40uvul…

Best narratives to teach The World Wars? Not Goodnight Mr Tom. Needs to be a chapter book ideally. For Y6.

Incredible how normal it is for women to be told not to go out alone after dark. Yet how strange and inexplicable this would seem if the same instruction - or even a curfew - were issued to men.

You know when you stay behind after school to get some marking done and that one teacher walks into your room with a cup of coffee, makes them self comfortable, and chats with you for so long that you end up doing nothing? I’m that teacher 😎. #edutwitter

Hey fellow English teachers! Here is a comprehensive list of major quotes and analysis for Act 1-4 of Macbeth. Made and gave to my students a while back and thought it might be helpful for catch up things. Feel free to use! dropbox.com/s/2l4kfh6oyq2t5m…

Some of my students take so long to read stories and as a result they’re not taking quizzes on Accelerated Reader. To tackle this I’m in the process of creating a booklet that contains short stories that are on AR- it’s a mammoth task but needed!!

Can anyone help @HeadteacherH?  Should a pre-requisite for being an OfSTED inspector be that you must have experience of being a substantive head teacher for at least 2 years? @Mr_JTyers @PaulGarvey4 @secretHT1 @kateowbridge @mrpiatczanyn @ChristallaJ @MrsSarahMullin
