Always learning; 25yrs IT leader, 16yrs teacher. Aim to make maths OK rather than it being OK to be not good. Not there YET. Brain plasticity enables learning.
Most schools are now back. How many staff and students see their school has a #YesUCan culture? @bphillipsonMP #edutwitter

True for taking examinations. Put the proper practise in and be prepared to rise to challenging questions.
The team that wins the process wins the game. In other words, successful teams work the hardest during the offseason, prepare the best during the week, and execute the best during the game.
KS2 SAT’s in England today. How many teachers and parents will have a “growth “ conversation with the children? Stressing high attainment due to their effort and not guaranteed or lower attainment can be improved. Nothing is static or fixed #LabelsAreForJamJars @jpembroke
Great four minutes on @BBCr4today with @jimalkhalili discussing the magic of four.
Number 4 - only number when spelt in English has its number of letters - four. @amolrajan @BBCr4today #r4today

Given that“every” is used to refer to all the individual members of a set without exception. Why add “whatever their background”? An example of wasted words from @Keir_Starmer ‘s team and it’s from @bphillipsonMP @educationgovuk @branwenjeffreys Would this standard pass KS2?
This week we’re celebrating #NationalSchoolSportsWeek and all the amazing things sport and physical activity can do for young people. We want every child, whatever their background, to have that chance. That’s why we’ve just confirmed £320m to help schools make it happen🏅
This belief needs to cross over into education . Teachers recognise that current attainment and ability is not fixed and inspire everyone in their class to grow and improve. One of #YesUCan principles is “be better today than yesterday” @bphillipsonMP @Jacqui_Smith1
COACHES: Just because a player has a bad attitude doesn't mean you don't coach them up and find ways to inspire them. As long as they're on your team, it's your responsibility to help them grow, develop, and improve. Be encouraged. Keep persevering. Stay positive. Don't give up.
Seeing all the “good luck” messages for #gcsemaths #GCSEs2025 reminds of quote attributed to Gary Player “The more I practise, the luckier I get “. Do secondary schools focus on effort and belief message throughout years 7-11. Not just at end? @bphillipsonMP
Always great to see £ going to @Advanced_Maths but need to change beliefs and attitudes to learning mathematics before age 16 @bphillipsonMP @CMcKinnellMP

Examinations are an opportunity to gain recognition for previous efforts. Do students believe this?
So much conversation with @BBCSport #Snooker on importance of mindset and proper practise. Yet how many teachers spend time on this with their students? #Exams
Examination season is approaching. How much time is spent getting all to believe they still can improve? @bphillipsonMP @branwenjeffreys #Education

Hi @BBCr4today @NASUWT your discussion on Adolescence did not cover primary role of parents despite @netflix film clearly identifying that the parents could’ve/should’ve done better. Similarly @Keir_Starmer missed that crucial point of individual responsibility #r4today
Why not have a clock at start so jockeys know how long to the start? @itvracing #CheltenhamFestival #ITVRacing
