I've made it back to NZ (Auckland this time) ready for the classroom next week. It's good to be back. I've written some reflections on the rollercoaster ride that was teaching in the UK. It feels like I've escaped in more ways than one. cargillsclassroom.wordpress.…

Reflecting on 3 Years Teaching in the UK

I’ve made it home to NZ and it is a bittersweet return. I miss London and the people I shared it with, but there is also a sense of escape and with it: relief. It isn’t just escaping an…

I’m not quite sure how to explain what’s happened tonight, because it’s still happening - but here goes… At 4:40pm I jumped on a train from London to Edinburgh.. It was comfy, it was quiet In hindsight, too good to last…

Set out on a long walk and turned the playback speed down to 1.0x for this outstanding listen. Another remarkable edition of the cinematologists. Loved the historical perspective and numerous insights. Bookmarked for a revisit someday in the future!

"Gender critical" leader, Posie Parker has said that she never loses, and she will "annihilate" any woman - including GC women - who stand in her way. She failed to hold her anti-trans rally in Auckland today, and she is now leaving New Zealand early. Here's what happened. 1/

So grateful to have had the opportunity to pick the brains of Instructional Coaching expert @Josh_CPD and be coached by him! It was a super juicy conversation, covering some of most sensitive areas of coaching and I learnt so much. 5 takeaways 🧵👇 Pod: ollielovell.com/errr/joshgoo…

Still can’t quite believe this but I’ve been awarded an MBE for services to Equality in Education. I’m overwhelmed and indebted to so many people. #NYHonours

Great to hear the team back together. Lots of insight here that cuts through all the twitter noise. A really refreshing listen after reading all the overcooked takes.

Teaching is so weird because nobody seems to want to talk about how to explain things... which seems like it'd be something we'd talk a whole lot about. There are a few things I've learned from research into clarity of explanations that I wish I'd been taught earlier 1/

Spent yesterday at the @CivicTheatreAkl for @Docedge. 'All That Breathes', 'Nelly & Nadine' and 'Girl Gang' were highlights. Recommend catching any of these on the virtual cinema in the next fortnight.

After Sundance and Cannes success, 'All That Breathes' must be as much of documentary frontrunner for the 2023 Oscars as you can this far out. Would love to see it in the conversation for cinematography as well. It is absolutely beautiful.

Listening to @DeadEyespodcast by @connorratliff has been a deeply reflective experience. Educators have the power to create 'dead eyes' moments for students, but they also have the power to teach students the skills to navigate failure & disappointment. cargillsclassroom.wordpress.…

Why Every Teacher Should Listen to ‘Dead Eyes’

When I was 11 years old, my teacher asked the class to report back on news events from the last week. My hand was up straight away. I was desperately keen for affirmation as a young student and it …

I think the feeling I got when @drjonty from @WritersOnFilm1 chatted to @drneilfox on the Cannes special of @Cinematologists might be the same as what Marvel fans felt when Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield turned up in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
