If your first reaction is to jump on with negativity, or even roll your eyes silently then use the summer to reflect on why you are in this profession. If a person says something helps, then facilitate it. End of. Ableism getting in the way of progress is a huge problem.

Do you have women in your school over the age of 40? You need to be more aware of menopause and put things in place to support them in school. Why? Because when you look at the varied symptoms you realise just how much it impacts their life and their job. More on this later!

This is so important. Schools need to facilitate this happening, and individuals need to remember to take responsibility for their own health and wellbeing too. Taking this attitude will help get the best out of your staff and help recruitment and retention issues.

Wondefully mature and responsible adult, her capacity for love, kindness and empathy grows too. This isn't a one off, she loves doing things for others, and I'm so proud of the woman she is becoming. I will cherish this gift on so many levels.

Be kind to people today. Everyone is tired from early morning alarms and often hungry from getting back to normal eating patterns. That is not a good mix. A kind smile will go a long way to easing the week in. Staff meetings and emails asking for even more work will not!

Help make #edutwitter a wonderful place to be this summer, not the thing to avoid. Less judgement, less anger, less confrontation. More empathy, more understanding, more sensitivity. We don't all have to agree but we can all be fantastically kind. #teacher5aday #notice #connect

Did I need to spend £30 on extra autumn decorations? No. Did it fill my heart with joy to decorate my house? Yes? Was it worth every penny? Yes! Not exactly Stacey Solomon level, but I love it.

This is so sad to hear. He battled so many demons and it seems like they won. Do listen to his book 'Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Things' to understand this amazing man. He reads the audio book himself so it is an immensely powerful listen.

@DavidNautilus1 100%. Technology is great for many things in education but it is causing an over reliance on it and creating a culture of perfection. The chn will learn more from you modelling than clicking through beautifully presented slides.

How many toilets do you have for how many staff? If you have the time it would also be great to know what proportion are male/female and if that matches your ratio of staff. Opening this up for further debate because many people just don't get how this can affect your day.

Raging anxiety today. Over thinking every conversation I've had or not had in the past few weeks, worrying about my businesses and so much more. Thankfully the weather is good so I'm out in the garden with my radio on. Getting muddy and creative.

Staff wellbeing is more about the culture of the workplace that workload. Discuss.

@aspiringhead22 You listen to their concerns & take them very, very seriously. Never dismiss a parent's views about their own child. How a child behaves at school is often very different to at home. Then you do a lot of reading about how neurodiverse chn mask at school. Then you support referral

If you don't realise the need for an #InternationalMensDay then you are part of the problem. A 🧵to make you think. This is not diminishing the work of people like @WomenEd , in fact it goes hand in hand to bring about a fairer society for all. Please read on
