Looking for some further specific research, reading, resources around diagnosing specific barriers that some children face when engaging in classroom talk & strategies for challenging these? @realgeoffbarton.bsky.social@claresealy.bsky.social
I'm really looking forward to meeting colleagues at this event where I'll be sharing our schools journey towards more ambitious primary English. The Opening Doors team have been so inspiring & supportive! englishassociation.ac.uk/opening-door...
We support the teaching, learning, and enjoyment of English at all levels of education, from early years to further and higher education and beyond.
Would be really interested in seeing this...
10k here too, didn't manage to dodge the rain though!
That's hilarious, love it!
Good week for me, managed a long run Mon, shorter quick one Thurs and heading out this pm for a 'bed my new trainers in one'! Hoping to get another longer one in tomorrow to keep my miles up. Looks like rainy runs next week, but I don't mind that to be honest 😅
Not quite finished, but seeing the kids' faces as the artwork for our new library went up today was pure magic! We've transformed this space in the heart of the school 🥰
I'm trying to remain positive, but as an HT & a parent, the frustration bubbles over. It absolutely isn't all about money, it's much more complex & this article highlights lots of key issues. Having said that, we're desperately trying to do our best & the reality is more cash is also needed.
I'm a really big fab of the Opening Doors approach, particularly radial questions. I'd recommend checking it out.
I'll need a signed version so it matches the first book 😂
