I don’t normally share personal things on here, but two weeks ago my baby sister’s flat burned down and she lost everything she owns. Some of her lovely friends have started a Go Fund Me so that she can buy a van (she does festival work in the summer). 👇

Jennifer Webb Echidna Alex Quigley A few years ago, I got to work with 4 great teachers in Bristol on a scheme for The Princess and The Hustler. Set in Bristol during the Bus Boycott it’s an opportunity for history, local geography, politics & literature to collide in students’ backyard. x.com/litlegacies202…

Prompted by Jeanette Breen I’ve tidied up my blog. I regularly blog - it helps me with my thinking - but I don’t podcast like the cool crew :) I just love writing. If you fancy having a mooch, you can find everything here birminghamteacher.wordpress.com

I'm looking for a secondary school in the Bristol or North Somerset area that would be willing to employ me for 1-2 days per week to teach English. Happy to consider being involved in coaching etc but mostly I want to have classes. If you're interested, email [email protected]

A teacher I know is doing a PhD and needs help from other experienced teachers in England (5+ years experience). Survey here — 10–15 mins max. She’d be so grateful! forms.office.com/Pages/Response…

An unusual request can everyone post on this thread the working class hating memes, AI images & comments here - I'm going to write an article about working class hatred.

I'm re-designing our reading lessons with KS3 - I want them to be oracy based, little/no writing. Is anyone already doing this? I've started creating my own resources but would like inspiration!

Another narrative which keeps emerging is the idea every pupil who is PP has a chaotic homelife with no space to revise, no support from family & will not be fed. While this is true for some & we want to scoop them up, I think we need to be cautious about pushing this view 1/2

It's becoming very obvious that generative AI is making all forms of non-exam assessment totally obsolete. It's a threat to the integrity of education everywhere. It's not that hard to solve though - we just need more handwritten & in-person exams!
