Adrian Bethune @adrianbethune.bsky.social · 6mo agoEver heard of Parkinson's Law? It stipulates that work expands to fill the time available. It means we need to develop really clear boundaries for work and non work, otherwise work will always spill over into the time that is available. #StressBites #Teachappy

We need to upskill our children in terms of digital literacy but that doesn't mean we need to give them a smartphone! It means we can supervise & facilitate them using digital tech with us, having conversations about how to navigate life online in a healthy way. With Dr Martha Deiros Collado
Authors like Jonathan Haidt argues that social media is driving the mental health crisis in teenagers but many, many others disagree with him. I interviewed Dr Martha Deiros Collado, author of The Smartphone Solution to hear her thoughts. Full interview at wwww.teachappy.co.uk
When you are anxious about a performance-related task, it can really help to tell yourself 'I am excited'. This is known as anxiety reappraisal & it has been studied by Dr Alison Brooks . Studies show that reframing nerves as excitement improves our performance. #StressBites #stress #Teachappy

Stress in teaching
Most teachers are chronically stressed. Not because they want to be but because, as a profession, we have normalised overworking and doing too much with too little for too long. But what if we didn’t ...

It may be beneficial to view stress more positively. Stress experts believe it pays to do so. What do you think? #StressBites #Teachappy
Should there be a social media bans for U16s in the UK? It's a question I asked @peteetchells. Here is a clip of our conversation. What do you think about a possible ban for U16s? Full interview www.teachappy.co.uk/post/childre... #teachappy
Kids under 5 should be limited to 1hr of screen time a day, while under-2s should not be watching screens alone, according to new govt guidance today. My interview with @peteetchells delves into the science behind screen use & children's wellbeing. www.teachappy.co.uk/post/childre... #Teachappy

Failed teacher here. For what it’s worth, I would add more open, non-prescriptive, play-based activity, and a reduced obsession with learning objectives. It was teaching Year 2 with NO space for pure play on the timetable that did my head in.

In over 30 years of teaching I have never been trained that/ or told ‘kids don’t need knowledge’ Teachers have always taught ‘knowledge’ And many also taught critical thinking skills, taught contextual relevance, supported motivation, & developmental skills & dispositions
Whatever you do guys, don't question knowledge-rich curricular. The best that's thought and said has been decided so just teach it, learn it and shut up 🥱
