What an amazing honour it was today to be speaking to @mideduteam probationers at their first core day today! An amazing last task to do for the authority giving the probationers my “top tips” for their probation year (even though it felt like imposter syndrome) 🤩

Ask a S2 class if they want to do a serial dilution they will look scared but ask them if they want to make a pH scale rainbow and they will be overjoyed…🌈

Bloom’s Taxonomy is commonly talked about in schools, but it’s also commonly misunderstood. The base of the pyramid is just as important as the top. As we teach students new things, we need to work our way up. We can’t get to ‘higher-order’ without developing ‘lower-order’ first.

This offer is nothing less than an abject insult to Scotland’s hard-working teaching professionals. After months of prevarication & weeks of empty promises, COSLA & SG come back with an offer than is worth that same 5% to the vast majority of teachers. eis.org.uk/latest-news/payof…
