Just dropped! Dyscalculia and Early Number Sense intervention suite (teachers, specialsts, parents). Three key tools one low price! US teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Dysc... UK tes.com/teaching-res... #dyscalculia #mathschat #teammaths #sen

Increasingly, I'm seeing MATs expecting every student in a year group to do exactly the same prescribed work on the same date across all schools. Actually teaching a class (using professional teaching skills as a subject expert to plan lessons) is now frowned upon. Your thoughts?

Don't tell too many people... I've slashed maths complete resource prices for the rest of this term. www.tes.com/teaching-res...

One of my favourite question pairs for teaching one step equations!

Algebra: Do you teach your year 7s to identify the dominant operation? If not, why not? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Who wants a Maths Tarsia? I'd like to create some *Free Tarsias* for the maths teaching community. What topic would you me to make? Also let me know if you prefer hexagonal (large) or triangular (smaller) forms? #maths #mathsteacher

Things I hate as a teacher: #1 - people coming into my room saying "can I borrow X for a minute?" Actually no X is in this room because he or she needs to learn this maths, please wait for them outside at the end of the lesson and stop interupting me. But I'm not allowed to say that. #MathsToday

Interrupting, even. This is why I don't teach English.

Maths teachers! If you are teaching linear equations to year 7, teach them to identify the dominant operation method. It is the only reliable method which doesn't produce serious pedagogical debt: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAqx... Lesson 1: www.tes.com/teaching-res...

Things weren't perfect before academisation, but at least when they weren't perfect you had teachers and parents on the board of governors to address the problem. #deacademise #schools

How will your school respond to iron deficiency this year? If you're a maths teacher in an area of deprivation it is practically certain that multiple people in your classes will be unable to concentrate on maths because of it. #edusky #mathschat

If you are a school leader, or even just a teacher, particularly in an area of deprivation - please please read this paper. Ask yourself what effect this is having on your students, and what (if anything) could be done. #teacher #edusky

If your response to the Athena scandal is to chalk it up as one failed trust, you need to think again. Athena happened because the MAT became unaccountable to both parents and teachers. In the end, the only way they could change it was to destroy it. All schools need boards of governors again.

10 Aug

Athena? If neither parents nor teachers have power to shape policy at a school, there is a serious governance problem. Major stakeholders should not be forced to campaign and ultimately destroy an organisation just to effect change. Stakeholders should be those making school policy, not fighting it.

10 Aug

We need parents, teachers, and communities back in the driving seat in our schools. Not 'advisory groups' or such rubbish. The MAT needs to propose: stakeholders need to decide. Why should a distant CEO whose never met your kids or their teachers decide your school policy? #deacademise

Multi academy trusts are badly broken. There is already a Labour government report which explains why, and sets out how to fix it. Starts with returning power to stakeholders. Link below; FYI: @andyburnham.bsky.social @lucympowell.bsky.social @instituteforgovernment.org.uk

Education reform priorities: 1) Restore and fully re-empower school governors < URGENT 2) Put an Ofsted rep on every governing body, to provide long term guidance not one off judgement 3) Cap staff:student ratios to 16 (i.e. teacher + TA for 32 students)

education-uk.orgTaylor Report (1977)Taylor Report 1977 A new partnership for our schools

Read it here: www.education-uk.org/documents/ta...

Today, the law actually prohibits both parents and teachers from being trustees of MATs. "Local governing bodies" are merely advisory, with no actual power. This governance failure is ultimately what is leading to the imminent collapse of Athena Learning Trust: all stakeholders are disenfranchised.
