The NHS might be struggling right now, but thank goodness no one in the UK will be asked to pay $807.96 for insulin.
We must never stop fighting to keep it that way.

OKAY so apparently it's rant time.
1. A lot of super-conservative types are ripping about Small Things Like These, because it makes them uncomfortable to have an Oscar winning actor, in a film that will be seen internationally, talk about the truth of this place.
1/
ALT A tweet about the film Small Things Like These that claims Irish people don't take history seriously and this causes the "lazy caricature that we lived in the Dark Ages". Someone responds that it does not bear any resemblance to the 1980s she remembers, listing popular songs and bands for some reason, and that "Sharon Curley had her snapper, with great support from her family."

Currently bookletising the entire AQA GCSE Biology course. Booklets compliment the @OxUniPress textbook by Ann Fullick.
Majority completed. Now adding finishing touches and collating.
Big Qs, success criteria, information, activities.
1st booklet ...

In Greening Grey Britain, @The_RHS revealed that between 2005 and 2015 alone, 3 million extra front gardens were paved over.
This has huge implications for overheating, flooding, and biodiversity.
Homeowners should be mandated to retain or create 50% 'natural' garden space.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but there’s nothing wrong with ‘book work.’ Reading and writing are important skills and not every lesson should involve you doing hula hoops and juggling axes whilst riding a unicycle. We’re educators not entertainers.

Out of everything I taught yesterday, the thing that got the kids the most engaged is when I opened up the @Tesco website to let them choose a microwave meal to calculate the specific heat capacity of.

If we genuinely want to have an inclusive system I think we need to move the idea of 'driving up standards' back towards the idea that 'every child matters'. I don't see how you do it otherwise. 🤷♀️ @educationgovuk

Wow.
In the middle of a teacher R&R crisis the CEO of a MAT argues we should get rid of the 1265 hrs (contact) time cap for teachers.
Appalling.
New teachers…
We fought for pay and conditions.
We fought and won.
They weren’t a given.
Protect them at all costs.
The boss of one of the country’s biggest academy trusts has suggested the 'archaic' directed time cap for teachers should be reviewed, saying 'if we want to be seen as a profession we can’t continue to rigidly count hours'

Seeing a lot of schools mandating retrieval practice in every lesson but also seeing quite a few misconceptions. A quick thread: 10 ways to get retrieval practice wrong ⬇️ 🧵

I guess I could have block paved my front garden but instead I planted a range of native hedgerow plants.
Now I get rosehips, sloes and hazelnuts 😁

Here's a little experiment for you to try that relates to Teaching & Learning and professional development.
First, read the scenario below.
Second, before hitting the following post in the thread, try and predict "what would happen next in this lesson"
Scenario:
