A level Resource = Poetry Wheel 'Wodwo' - Ted Hughes Created another poetry wheel for A level to support oracy, encourage deeper analysis and expand vocabulary for WJEC Unit 2 Poetry @tedhughessoc @wjec_cbac @EngChatUK @Team_English1 @LitdriveUK @BoostGcse
English teachers, I'm looking for short case studies of how you've used academic theory/criticism with GCSE students. Please RT and DM if you're interested in contributing

So much fun planning these subject knowledge lecture sessions for @holmfirthhigh English department. Love working with English teachers on subject knowledge development
The problem with the "better off pissing out of the tent than into it" philosophy is that if you keep doing it you end up with a tent full of people pissing everywhere.
@BoostGcse @holmfirthhigh We can’t wait to work with you, Haili @HHS_Reading
So excited to be commissioned to work with @holmfirthhigh English department to give 10 lectures on Lord of the Flies to boost staff's subject knowledge. Such a joy to do this work.
Definitely my last English resource for a while as I have got loads to do! A little bookmark on equivocation in Macbeth:
Been asked a lot for Jekyll & Hyde resources so adapted a paper here on Queer Theory:
Last Macbeth resource from me for a couple of weeks - quick bitesize snippet on the 'Out brief candle' part of Macbeth's soliloquy
A little something on time in the 'Tomorrow' soliloquy in Macbeth:
Done a little mini lecture on Dickens' authorial style in ACC and genre influences, based on lots of academic papers: drive.google.com/file/d/1JzUSIH… Hope it is useful! RT and tags welcome
Another critical resource about kingship in Macbeth here. You can find the pdf to print on A3 here: drive.google.com/file/d/1jRoUEs…
New critical resource from me about the 'solitary as an oyster' simile in A Christmas Carol, based on a paper by Craig Buchwald (1990). Feel free to bookmark, share and use if useful @Team_English1
Hi #edutwitter I was wondering if anyone has any engaging extracts for AQA paper 1 (or any that can be adapted to the paper!). I want to add some more to my current go-to collection! @EngMediaCentre @EngliciousUCL @SPryke2 @BoostGcse

Really wanting to fire-up our @NIEngTeachers community again this year after a bit of a hiatus. If you are an English teacher (or are a student about to embark upon a PGCE) who is based in NI, please take a moment to tell us what you want to see. Let's reconnect!
Hi everyone - it's been a minute! I am starting to think about how best we can use our online community in the upcoming academic year. To start, a quick survey...what would you like to see from NI English Teachers this year? Other ideas welcome - comment below!
If your message to the nation on A-level results day leans on the wisdom of Jeremy Clarkson then I don't know what to tell you.
Jeremy has made a career of being the exception not the rule but he does have a good point here: Results day is important, but not necessarily a deal-breaker. Whatever results you got today, there are lots of options available to you 👇 🧵
I don't *regret* this tweet, but reading some of the frankly toxic other replies I want to make it clear: I will be voting for Labour I will be encouraging others to vote Labour I think they can do better on education
@Keir_Starmer "it teaches the skills and creativity essential to future learning and work." There is no evidence to suggest this true. Learning music is a good in and of itself, you don't need to give it spurious utilitarian value as well.
@HughesHaili @BoostGcse @routledgebooks F.A.B reminding me to tune in and to get Olivia watching too!
Many of you who watch my CPD will know that we’ve had some building work drama this year. We aren’t finished yet, but I AM delighted to say that my office is now FINALLY ready for me to deliver this week’s course for Literacy Leaders… and yes, that is a pineapple on the wall 😂
Do you train teachers on an ITT course in England? Uni based, school based, TeachFirst, apprenticeships, another route? I’m keen to interview you about your experiences for my EdD research. Register your interest and find out more forms.office.com/Pages/Response…
All ready for @rEDBerks tomorrow! I’ll be talking mentoring, affect, Mr Grylls, Aristotle, and elephants. Not necessarily in that order.
@tombennett71 So, you’ll be ordering an extra large cake for National conference then? 😜😋
He was a failure as Brexit Secretary; oversaw the Afghanistan disaster at the Foreign Office; and put forward a garbage human rights Bill that has gone nowhere as Justice Secretary while the court system has crumbled. No high performance culture discernable.
Am going to do a substantive post on Raab and bullying for tomorrow but the idea that his behaviour was necessary to drive performance can be refuted by the absence of a single substantive achievement in 7 years as a minister and 5 in cabinet.
@HughesHaili @BoostGcse As always, super helpful 👍
@HughesHaili @happyteacherhub @BoostGcse Ooh these are great, thank you.
@adamboxer1 That made me bark laugh. If the primary qualification required was shitposting for our own amusement, you and I would be the final candidates
So many people want to tell heads how to do their jobs, yet haven’t sat in the chair, felt the weight of responsibility nor truly understand what the role entails. I always find this interesting.
@adamboxer1 Agreed; an excellent module on @CharteredColl Chartered Status pilot was using @IRIS_Connect to record teaching and reflect (several cycles). #CTeach
Videoing yourself can be extremely powerful for T&L development. Here's a route to normalising it:
@bio_basher all staff to video themselves privately first, but feedback publicly (e.g. in a dept meeting) hod to then be videoed and publicly critiqued by a junior member of staff staff to then do videos in pairs then public videos for all
The problem with the "better off pissing out of the tent than into it" philosophy is that if you keep doing it you end up with a tent full of people pissing everywhere.
