Thank you to everyone for your comments!! Very happy to share: dropbox.com/scl/fi/46p7z3h00…
This was just a starting point- I think its important for subject leads to edit/adapt/improve to suit their subjects- but gives people something to work with!

Really love this as a tool to get students thinking harder about their analysis. Could be used effectively to break down a worked example as part of modelling before students attempt their own too!!
"Feedback should make the student work harder than the teacher" - @dylanwiliam really struck a chord in our CPD on Monday. My resource allowed students to reflect on their answer by tearing apart their chosen quotation with specific intentions and the rewrites were phenomenal. 👏
Some schools can't open and are teaching on Teams again... My school was closed for weeks last year due to on going building work. I created lots of guides to support staff. If you want support or a guide for staff to use, send me a message. Here's what I have:

Would anyone in secondary schools be willing to share their marking policy? What have people found to be the best balance between student progress and staff workload? #edutwitter #marking #feedback #marking #workload
I have created a document to support our subject leaders with #disciplinaryliteracy across a range of subjects as a starting point for editing and developing into their own curriculums. Created with the help of AI to really drill down into key aspects of #literacy #edutwitter
Well... casually just looked at Twitter and have had a lot of messages! Thank you to everyone... here is a link to the #disciplinaryliteracy document I showed a preview of: dropbox.com/scl/fi/46p7z3h00…
Hope it's useful!
Normally ordered my teacher planner this weekend. But I’m now into the swing of #digitalplanning using #goodnotes. I’ve found that when things change or I have to make notes quickly it’s been super useful. No more crossed out sections in my planner -my need for neatness is met.
Did anyone find any good research/strategies that looked specifically at how to address GAPs in learning in the classroom following on from remote learning, rather than lots of assessments on return?

Just been playing around with the #ChatGTP website—- wow! I’m absolutely fascinated!! Can see how it would be great for starters and plenaries when asking it to “create 5 questions on… with the answers.” Tested it on some AIC questions and it was pretty good!!!
Used this yesterday thanks to @teach_smith!!! It is brilliant. I love that you can also search for classic texts which are already stored on there e.g A Christmas Carol. Perfect for my year 10s!!!
rewordify.com/ is an excellent website: copy and paste any text & it will identify the tier two vocabulary. From this, the site can generate a glossary, multiple choice quizzes & more. For example:

My #digitalplanning has begun!I’ve gone with using @GoodNotesApp for now, to see how I get on with it on my iPad. Using the Apple pen to turn my handwriting into text. #teacherplanning. Taking meeting notes has been great! Shoutout to @AdGrocott for the support.
Fellow Teachers. I really like the idea of getting into digital planning for my weekly lessons, to-do lists and note taking etc. If you already do this- which tablet/apps do you recommend?
And this is why I adore Twitter... thank you for sharing @litfanatic
Teaching 'Lord of the Flies' for the first time next year to a bottom set year 10... Not read it yet- its on my summer list! Any tips? Any links to CPD/Wider Reading I can do? @HoDandHeart @FunkyPedagogy @SPryke2 @amy_smith117 @MrsBarker_Teach
Following the @SPryke2 "Ready to Teach Macbeth" with my y10s. Before we start delving into Act 3 I gave them all the key words and big Questions we had covered so far to review our learning. They had to link key words with big questions- the discussions this led to were amazing!
