Five steps to doing maths questions!Read the question.Read the
question again and circle ALL the key points.Write out ALL the key
points at the top of the answer space.Look at what I have in front

answer.Write out your answer clearly, line by line.
Co-planning Lisas LessonYear 11 mock feedback.She modelled her
thinking as she completed the simultaneous equation question.The
class wrote down her answer verbatim as she modelled thinking
through it.The class then attempted a similar question.She
identified Kallan as someone who completed the question well.Kallan
modelled his thinking to the class.

This much I knowI hardly remember a single lesson from my own
school days;You need to know your core purpose, what it is that
gets you out of bed each day to come to work;Education is about
relationships;Our values are respect, honesty and kindness;I
understand what Wilshaw and Gove are on about when they say context
is irrelevant;The Coalitions educational emphasis is encapsulated
in the fact that Grade 6 in the Flute;Without being idealistically
nave, stick to what you believe in;I have to create the conditions
for students and staff to thrive; Target your resources on what
matters most and just make do with everything else;When I admitted
I couldnt be a perfect Headteacher, I became better at my job;Keep
things simple;To some extent, I missed my eldest son growing
up.
I have to create the conditions for students and staff to
thrive.
Id like to work in a school that constantly takes note of the
stress and anxiety level on the one hand and standards on the
other, all the while searching for the optimal relationship of low
anxiety and high standards.

So what is it that all students need for them to engage? When I
wrote my original blog about teaching disengaged boys a reader made
this comment: In a sense why should we be surprised love (and I
think that in its widest sense you are talking about loving the
children) can conquer all.
44We need to do a lot more around helping young people say how
they feel. Stephen Habgood, founder, Papyrus
The power of the critical mass and the courage required to swim
against the tide.46
Drive out fear so that everyone may work effectively for the
company.
How would you like to be observed to help you best develop your
teaching?
Its all about the outcomesA cuboid has a square for 2 faces, the
length is 1cm longer than the height (and the width). The surface
area of the cuboid is 112cm2. What are the dimensions of the
cuboid?
Truly Great Teachers[know that the lesson plan is] a framework
to give them the necessary flexibility to adapt to a different way
of teaching at key moments in the lesson when the mood of the
class, as it inevitably does, changes. They recognise that the
worst lessons are those where the teacher ploughs through the
lesson plan irrespective of how well or badly the lesson is
going.
