Love this from @Counsell_C! Constant reading so important for all history teachers and is why twitter and @historybookgrp for recommendations are so important.

#WorldMentalHealthDay
We all have mental health; sometimes it's great, other times it's not. Some of us have long term diagnosis, whilst some of us will only suffer temporarily.
Either way, we all need to talk about #mentalhealth & not just today. Let's make it the norm!

Why do history teachers get pupils to read at length? What are the history-led rationales? How have these teachers lured pupils into reading more than we dared think possible? All the wisdom in @histassoc June TH What's the Wisdom on..? history.org.uk/publications/β¦ First 3 pages:

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them."

How did Martin Luther King manage to make every word of a 3-minute speech perfectly applicable to an election 56 years later!?

Insight from Y10 today. John Snow basically did track and trace. So we should have nailed it by now...

And here is the evidence that @GavinWilliamson clearly says on @thismorning βthat some schools would have just given children A*, A or a B!!β
No trust in us at all.......

Please don't call them Teacher assessed grades. This puts the responsibility on teachers alone.
Most schools have moderated, adjusted & amended the CAGs using teacher predictions, past & present data etc.They are centre assessed grades. Don't put the onus on individual teachers!
βWe now believe it is better to offer young people and parents certainty by moving to teacher assessed grades for both A and AS level and GCSE results.β Education Secretary @GavinWilliamson
After an extraordinarily difficult year for students, this news will provide certainty.

Stop calling them 'teacher' predicted grades. They are CENTRE assessed grades. The moderation involved was rigorous from teacher-head of department-SLT and many schools, including mine, were cautious for fear of a government algorithm scenario. A government preparing a scapegoat.
