Doing some sorting & I found my illustrations for the book that was never finished. This book was written by a friend of mine & I was illustrating… I feel like I need to pick this back up again 🤔 #Teachers #Edutwitter #Books #illustration

As part of our transition work, my new Year 6s explored the question: “What makes you, you?” Each piece reflects a part of who they are: from proud moments to hopes for the future. The centre will be their photo. A few examples below👇 #TransitionWork #Year6 #Edutwitter

Another week, another task design CPD - this time (virtually) revisiting @HarrowBangkok. We explored how to adapt & deepen tasks across subjects using models like “Three Heads” & others to drive real thinking, not just completion. 💭📚 Thank you all for having me on e again!

I regret reading this piece. It feels fundamentally misguided and, in parts, uncomfortably insulting.
