Unsubscribed from my favourite podcasts, @RestIsPolitics and @TheNewsAgents for 4 years. Daily Trump news is not good for the mind. I’ll just use @haveigotnews and @StephenAtHome for the funny takes.

One way to achieve consistency between a group of teachers is to jointly create a group of learning activities using the tools provided by @EduWells. Such a process may be the most valuable professional development a team of teachers will experience. bit.ly/3t9PCNu

Gary Neville: "I have a different belief around exams. I don't believe you should work for 16 years at school & college & then it all depends on a 2 hour assessment... I think that's prehistoric... it needs ripping up & you should be judged over your body of work." #BBCBreakfast
