Physics teacher in Scotland, fan of maps, crochet, language, anything else that catches my interest. Poing, ooh shiny! IOP Stirling Physics Teacher's meeting chair. #ChatPhysics #SciTeachUK #EduSky #UkEd

It concerns me that teachers would use A I for reports, with the potential of including data on students. And that's with me not enjoying report writing, but I would hate as a parent to feel my child's teacher cared so little. #TeacherTapp

Response from a TeacherTapp question on the use of AI for writing end of year pupil reports. Overall 15 percent of respondents said AI was allowed.

So true, and I love the Learning Scientists website mentioned in the post for illustrating more high utility strategies. Study skills are a focus for me for the coming year. How to help students monitor their strategies and evaluate the effectiveness.

“Many educators assume that at some point, students have been taught how to study effectively,” writes #ScienceTeacher Alison Stone. But her 20 years of experience teaching high schoolers has taught her that “this is typically not the case.” 🧵 1/9 #EduSky #HighSchoolTeacher

Science-Backed Studying Techniques
If high school students were never taught how to study, they’re going to keep being frustrated by using ineffective studying methods. Here’s how to help change that.

Why are any news outlets mentioning the paracetamol story except with the headline 'bam who knows less about science than your cat announces another baseless assertion'.

Hey my #Iteachphysics colleagues. I've got a friend whose child is sitting GCSE Physics this year and wants textbook recommendations to help with studying at home. As I teach scottish courses I'm not up to date with what the best ones down south are. Any suggestions? #Edusky

Realities of teaching at the school your kids attend part 27. Me: I'm sure there's some phrases I use a lot in the classroom. My dear sweet son: 'Folks'. You say, 'all right folks' a lot. People asked me if you called us folks at home too. Me: thanks #EduSky

My summer in books. Some better than others, and maybe a few more 'we've fecked the world' than is strictly healthy. But some great ones too. I had never read Slaugterhouse five before, but it was a great read. And Adrian Tchaikovsky never disappoints. Service Model was amusing. #BookSky

Whoop whoop Scottish teachers! We've made it to the end of term! And what a year it's been. Today was brought to you by my Higher class playing with Hot Wheels. They even came back after the interval till they got the car from the cupboard all the way into the sink across the room. #PedagooFriday

A classroom set up with tables and chairs. There is a plastic race track for toy cars running from high up in an open cupboard across a desk and several chairs. There are piles of textbooks to support the track.

My Friday nights are different now, so rock and roll. Teen boy has brought 6 friends home with him and they've got Aldi pizzas to cook. Meanwhile husband and I will get ourselves a chippy and let them be loud in the kitchen.😂😂

Internal truancy is such a major issue. Pupils in school, but not in class. Becomes a vicious circle of kids missing content so when they do come in to a lesson, they struggle with the work and vote to leave again. Makes it difficult to build up a relationship too. #TeacherTapp
