Thinking about the lessons I teach …my lessons aren’t fun. I do have a positive relationship with my students and make them laugh. But overall, my lessons are high paced, focused and explicit. I do not want my lessons to be ‘fun’ and I like independent work to be in silence.

Just shaved my beard completely off as it was becoming a mess. But now I am absolutely certain there will be a staff member at school asking me why I’m not in lesson during a PPA time. I look like a student on their first day of sixth form.

Attention to detail counts… Whether it’s uniform Politeness Transitions Equipment Entry/Exits Not picking up on the small things quickly leads to a culture that permeates apathy and dismissal. Ss know that if one rule is ignored, there are several that will be also

@christiancalgie Why do broadcasters have to agree to certain questions in advance? What’s the point if that is so.

One thing I have realised in teaching is just how absolutely vital Key Stage 3 is for building upon in year 10 & 11. I could immediately tell when picking up a class at KS4 how KS3 had been treated. High expectations & challenge from year 7!

I have changed the way in which I teach when the class read texts. I have students track the lines with a ruler in their copies, word by word and line by line. In the midst of reading I cold call - recall, comprehension, linking & context. Huge effect. SHAPE of course!

Inconsistencies in expectations, routines, and work ethic breed resentment, with staff pitted against each other and students seeking out preferred staff. Ignoring these inconsistencies and further, allowing them to deepen is like taking a wrecking ball to school culture.

I'm thoroughly enjoying @amymayforrester 's book on pastoral leadership. The paragraph discussing the perils of cultures where students exploit staff to undermine each other is outstanding. Inconsistency inevitably gives rise to resentment and unravels culture entirely.
