Another 'win' for Everton today. I'll take each of the last 4 results as a massive positive considering where we are, where the teams we've played are.

marking tests on a Sunday afternoon. It takes me back to the early days of teaching when this was commonplace. I still get the same emotion for the pupils though. A constant mixture of delight and frustration. All useful for feedback though

"The biggest issue is the toxic narrative around migrants over the last decade... We talk about numbers instead of people... What makes it hard for people to integrate is their neighbours being told that they are the enemy, that they are scamming them." 👏 Mariella Frostrup on #BBCQT ~AA

Yep, sending right now on a rare Saturday without having to get up early
My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.
Morning.
Morning.

A good thing! We all want our mentors to be well trained and prepared, the 20 hour requirement was putting too much pressure on our teaching staff.
Exclusive: The government has scrapped an 'excessive' requirement that mentors of trainee teachers undertake 20-hours of training with 'immediate effect', following complaints from school leaders

Interesting article. Not sure how the French manage to support pupils if they are off-site when not teaching, but maybe that's a major reason why teachers are so stressed in the UK?

Why is France so good at keeping its teachers?
New data shows that France has a much higher teacher retention rate than England. Ellen Peirson-Hagger examines what we could learn from colleagues across the Channel

A few things I've learned from doing the school timetable for the first time this year.
1. It's actually a more important job than I thought. Making sure that all subjects can deliver their curriculum effectively.
2. As well planned as I thought I was, many unpredictable challenges can occur, often.

Really interested in this strategy. Similar to identifying the highest leverage action steps.
