Third book of 2025 finished. All teachers should read it. Many (most?) of us will teach and know children living in poverty, like the main character, Will. It is beautifully written and deeply confronting; the sense of Willโ€™s constant state of being on high alert radiatesโ€ฆ

Book one of the year underway; Iโ€™m going to reinvigorate my love of reading, fiction in particular. Truth is, I still love reading but have a real concentration/focus issue with it and only complete books on holiday now ๐Ÿคช Whatโ€™s the best tracker โ€“ Goodreads or The Story Graph?

Inspired by @kateowbridge.bsky.socialโ€™s end of year card writing, I doodled a little design and wrote each member of staff a card telling them one thing I appreciate about them in particular. I really need to make more time for drawing and making because I just love it. ๐Ÿ˜Šโ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿงฃโœจ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฉต

I like to do things to help our JLT feel professional like teach them to shake hands and introduce themselves. I gave our head and deputy pupils a folder with a notebook etc. One of our head pupils shared this in our meeting last week. Give them the tools and they rise to it. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ“’ #edusky

Are you a headteacher, serving or retired, a deputy or and assistant Head? Of so, could you comment on this thread and I will put together a head teacher starter pack. Please Repost for maximum reach.

There are so many new people here that I thought it would be a good idea to repost this starter back of global majority people working in education and towards diversity, equity and inclusion - and allies too! go.bsky.app/QwW744Z
