Kathy from Thetford Academy is one of the thousands across Norfolk, getting their results today
It’s fair to say she’s overcome some adversity!
She spoke with our senior reporter @TEClabon

@olicav: “keep being inventive the researchers will follow .. the researchers are not faced with the daily challenges teachers are forced to create solutions for”
Great reminder that being research informed is just the start! Hold ideas lightly & keep questioning! #rEDNorwich

A lovely Bookish supporter has paid for TWELVE books to be posted out to those in need of a book right now! If that's you, or you'd like to nominate somebody to receive a paperback of your choice or ours, just send me a DM. Spread the #bookylove

WHW vs PEE
There can be an assumption WHW is for top level students and PEE for those who find English difficult
I actually think WHW is *easier* than PEE
PEE assumes you already know what to say, but somehow not the order in which to say it. WHW can help to generate thinking

The NPQ in Leading Teacher Development is fully-funded by the DfE. This NPQ is led by @carnaby_mr, Director of English and Curriculum, and would
be great for those who are mentors for ETCs.

THREAD: Oracy and CPD
I’ve noticed a few tweets about promoting oracy in lessons so I thought I’d share some of our work @turnerschoolsuk.
When pupils returned to classrooms, their confidence in articulating their ideas had suffered so we looked to do something about it.

We’re giving away two copies of the book. Winners chosen at random from anyone who RT this by 5pm Monday 19th April! @Team_English1 @NATEfeed @LitdriveUK
It was great to receive my copies of our @studyingfiction book today. The book examines the literature classroom through a cognitive poetic lens and is based around a project that @DrofletJess and I have worked on for the last 7 or so years. Wonderful to see it in print 1/3

Yes yes, but.
- The "plurality and flexibility" that Rosen expounds does not come naturally to all students.
- There are 5 sentences in his article that open with adverbials. They are part of good style.

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”

Heading to bed but wanted to say how much respect I have for the teachers and assistants who have and will continue to dedicate their time to preparing food packages and printing vouchers to guarantee no child goes without. You play such an important role. Thank you ♥️
