My new book will be out on July 19th. It’s about reducing anxiety but much more. Practical strategies for typical primary issues (panic attacks, anger, school refusers etc.) as well as ways to integrate discussion about difficult emotions into the curriculum, acting as therapy.

Emotional! We said we would make noise, so they listen. We would sow seeds of change in education, we will try to create inclusivity & belonging for minority ethnic educators. #REND trending in Top 10, 500 educators in attendance, great food, friendships formed. Thank you all🙏🏾

Results day 2024. My reflections; *PAG was smooth for me - all results secured and into my MIS by 7:40. *My assessment MIS @InsightHQ were on fire with predicted nationals and then updating with actual *national results not surprising although the pass marks going down was. 🧵

*wish they would just publish the GDS figures now. Seems unlikely they’ll change the threshold - so why make us wait?

Motivation!
Replying to @EducEndowFoundn
✍️ The writing review was conducted by @pearson and considered writing across primary and secondary settings. The review found that pupil motivation was a key barrier when teaching writing. 2/4

Some earlier national estimates for you
With the MTC results now coming in, here are our national estimates so far. Varying sample sizes, so some of these may yet see a bit of change. Note that we've changed how we're calculating our Y2 Phonics estimate and this is now looking more in line with pre-Covid attainment
