Over the past few weeks, I’ve tested some ideas in KS3 reading lessons to make our independent reading more purposeful. Today, I started creating a reading journal for use fortnightly at KS3. I’ve just left the starting blocks, but here’s what I’ve got… #Literacy #TeamEnglish #Education

It's started. Collins Word of the Year #WOTY2024 is... 'brat'. www.theguardian.com/books/2024/n...

Charli xcx fans rejoice: ‘Brat’ chosen as Collins word of the year

A new definition of the word was sparked by the pop star’s summer album title, and made it a term that ‘resonated with people globally’, the dictionary says

Diverse Words and Voices, a collection of 30 extracts from writers with a range of identities, will be published 7th October. I am proud to have edited the collection. Have a look to see which extracts we have included!

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #6,098,648!

PICTURE OF THE WEEK! 📸 This week we want to see... a display you've prepared in your classroom. Tag us! Here's a fabulous photo from one of our schools, with news stories from around the world 🌍. P.S. What should Picture of the Week be next Friday? #PictureOfTheWeek #edusky #eduskyprimary

I’m an ECT in English and this year I’ll be taking my first A Level class. Any tips and tricks from fellow KS5 practitioners? I’ll be teaching Eng Lit with OCR, kicking off with Ibsen’s ‘A Doll’s House’. #teamenglish #edusky

If you're a teacher, what are your thoughts on book marking? As an ECT I’m keen to hear from those more experienced, especially if your school’s assessment policy has changed. Do you use whole-class feedback? Mark each book w/ comments? Not mark at all? What are the pros/cons? #edusky #marking

Now that I’ve gained some more followers, would any newbies like to add some thoughts to the mix? See below. #edusky #education #teamenglish

Hey @edusky.bsky.social famalam. I’m a brand spanking new Literacy Coordinator at my school with a hundred and one ideas whizzing around, and I’m wondering… What are some of the best whole-school literacy interventions/ideas you’ve experienced? #edusky #education #literacy

Hi @bsky.app 👋🏼 I’m growing wary over X’s inability to moderate and shut down racist accounts and language, so I’m giving this thing a go. Hoping to find a strong community of educators, as a first year teacher who learnt a great deal from X’s edu discourse.
