WE USED SCHOOL RULES, A BEHAVIOUR CHART AND STICKERS ON ADULTS - HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED (Written by Hanna, Clinical Psychologist at Spectrum Gaming) This year we tried out a new activity as part of the Autism in Schools train the trainer project. 1/12
Let's imagine that we have 100% attendance. Every child is in school. The sick ones, the unhappy ones, the ones who have just lost their parent or grandparent. The ones who are only just four and can't quite manage a whole day yet without a nap. They're all in. 1/
Pre-Covid, if a student was ill and expected to be off for more than a day or two, teachers had to create a package of work covering the time, to go home by the end of the day. Then we all learned how to teach remotely. Suddenly, students have to be in the room to learn. Why? 1/2
This is my annual back to school reminder of the existence of sciencedoctor.school.blog. There are now over 500 teaching resources freely downloadable from there, across KS3-KS5. For example, there are individual worksheets for each part of KS4 physics. /1
Might be a good idea to vaccinate everyone. #justsaying #covid
For students who got their accommodation request into their first choice uni - and got the grades - this will be less of an issue but this year around 17,000 students are going through clearing - so worth checking what the housing situation is if you are choosing where to go
Nice SI units graphic from NIST 🙂 nist.gov/publications/s…
I noted on centre services that the mark schemes for the AQA A level physics exams are out. Every year I sit down and answer the questions as a student would. When the mark schemes come out I mark them honestly and see how I did. It's great CPD. Here's how I did... 🧵/1
Best of luck to everyone collecting A-level results today!
Message that friend you occasionally think about, they might need you reaching out to them x
We all enjoy it when we find an aptronym - a name that seems to suit the occupation of its bearer incredibly well. It can make us think that the name is responsible for their having that job. But is there any evidence for "nominative determinism". 🧵 1/23 (Image @gordmatheson)
It's not about the pay rises, it's that the budgets won't stretch to cover it. It's a very elitist "just tighten your belts a bit" attitude. The money is not there to pay teachers, doctors, etc more. That money will have to come from a cut elsewhere.
Wanna understand some of the biggest science news of the year (maybe the decade?) better than 99% of people? That new should be coming out tomorrow evening, but we know a bit about it...so here's a thread:

An in depth look at the AQA A level physics papers this year.🧵 I've now answered all questions across the three papers (brilliant CPD that I recommend). The summary is that the papers are challenging, at times bordering on the unfair. Paper 3a I think goes over that border. /1
You can think abortion should have term limits. You can think - if you really want - that being in lockdown, scared, alone and with several kids to care for aren’t mitigating factors. But if you want her imprisoned for it, may I suggest you just like the idea of punishing women.

Some times it seems that in order to be a Good Parent™, parents must leave their feelings at the door. They’re told ‘We know children best’. ‘They’re feeding off your anxiety.’ ‘Just don’t give them the option and they’ll be fine’. 1/
Frustrating morning. Train to London. Kindly asked a man not to place his suitcase behind my wheelchair as if I need to move/go to the loo, I can’t get out. He replied ‘well I’ll just move it when you need to go to the loo’. I explained this is the one dedicated area for…
Thought for the day: Show unconditional love wherever you go, especially to children, without wanting anything in return, so they grow up confident, understanding and recognising what true love is ❤️
***COMPETITION*** Oops, silly me. I ordered 4 too many copies of my KS3 physics workbook so *have* to give some away. One will be given to: -Someone who retweets this -Someone who likes this -Someone who comments & tags in a friend/colleague. The tagged person will also win one

Skatepark morning for the 11yo!
This morning, the 11yo has mostly been sending photos of his breakfast of hand-smoked Whitby kippers (which he loves) to members of his class WhatsApp group (to their uniform horror).
Calling Oxford colleagues, I'll be talking about my book Not Just for the Boys at Oxford Literary Festival 6pm on March 20th. Hope to see some of you there oxfordliteraryfestival.org/literature-eve…
1/2. One of the boys in my year 11 English class at lunch today: "Sir, swear down you're the best English teacher I've had at secondary school not gonna lie. The way you teach - you're enthusiastic, unlike some, and you make stuff easier to understand and remember."
Stick man Oh Stick man Oh Stick man That's me.... And I long to be back in the family tree! 🌳
This tree looks like it's sneaking out of the woods. 😁
also check out the door frames I love them so much
20 pages in and I can already tell I am going to adore this book. Taking it slow, I want to make it last.
@professor_dave As someone widowed in the last few years I totally get it. I wont miss the volume of emails I get about today. Sending you love and solidarity David x
chomp got to the part of his meal where he’s done eating so he just gives food to Tâf, so I took his plate away. he screamed and reached for it. I gave him another piece of pancake, and he pretended to put it in his mouth… til I turned around, and he giggled and threw it to Tâf
@MrBoothY6 I always think that if we didn’t only do this with stars of the week, but a random group of kids each week, we could really improve relationships and behaviour. I think that a lot of the kids who need positive, small group time with SLT unrelated to their behaviour often miss out…
If you are someone who has used rewards in the past (like me!) this post isn’t intended to create guilt or shame, but instead an invitation to join us in advocating for neurodiversity affirming practices. 12/12
but they were still incredibly scared of being in trouble or being the centre of attention within class. They focused so much on “good behaviour” that they weren’t able to learn. 11/12
Young people talk about feelings of fear and extreme levels of stress they have experienced as a result of reward/ behaviour charts. Interestingly a lot of the young people who struggled with them the most were always on the “good side”, 10/12
Reward based systems mean that learners have to internalise their needs in order to comply, even if meeting these needs is important for feeling safe and being able to learn. In our practice, we see the impact these systems have on young people. 9/12
for fear of ending up in the ‘rainy cloud’. One of the participants who was put in the ‘rainy cloud’ spoke about the impact on his motivation to listen to the content and follow the rules, with him thinking ‘what's the point’ and ‘I can do what I want now’! 8/12
that they didn’t take in any of the content of the presentation. Various members spoke about having to suppress their needs and that they weren’t able to put in strategies to support their learning, like taking notes on a tablet or moving, 7/12
I was quickly reminded that young people often don’t have the option to opt out of compliance based systems. So, we went ahead and I’m so glad we did! It generated really interesting discussions. One participant noticed that they were so focused on the chart 6/12
