Are there league tables for the other stuff?

Japan: nothing can compete with solar + BESS:
1 Rooftop solar in Japan alone can deliver 1.2 times the electricity from the country's total electricity generation today
2 Integrating PV with EV cuts emissions 87 % and costs 33 %

Let's get on with it - faster

Most work places with dress codes - let's be honest and call it staff uniform - provide the uniform. 20+ years ago I was chided for not wearing a tie on a hot June day. I asked if they thought it would affect my ability to teach. No response was given. Seldom wore a tie again in that school.

Haven't worn a tie, let alone a suit, to work in years. Only ever done formal wear for interviews, weddings, christenings and funerals. Doesn't mean I'm poorly dressed or look unprofessional. Even on dress down days.

Very involved discussion about content and broad themes for #BGE as part of #sciencesCIC. Very challenging, especially when also trying to declutter.

Lively discussion of the #sciencesCIC rationale for 3-18 curriculum. Great to clear statement that "science is for everyone", but many points to note about the detail of what science learning is for, how it should feel, the attributes and skills to be developed in learners through science.

Arrived in Glasgow for @educationscotland.bsky.social event for #curriculum improvement cycle #CIC for #sciences. Keen to find out how the core group have developed ideas since last November and looking to find out how we can improve on the shortcomings of #CfE.

Saw this shared to physics teachers shared by @stuartphysics.bsky.social
Have shared to FB group for Scottish teachers.
Best of luck!

My local #activetravel #wheeledsports #charity Cycle Annick SCIO are launching a public consultation prior to their community asset transfer of a piece of land upon which they hope to develop a Pump Track.

At full price Alom's excellent book is still an absolute bargain.
If you teach science, learn science, do science or have just heard of science, you should buy it and read it.
At this bargain price, but another one to give to a friend. (Gonna get one myself for our probationer teacher.)

For any of you for whom this might make a difference, Amazon are selling the paperback edition of “Why Don’t Things Fall Up?” for the ridiculous price of £3. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/152934819...

A good start would be to dump the delivery metaphor. We deliver pizzas, we educate children. Tackling the culture of measurement and the resulting performativity would go a long way towards addressing the current problems

Starting over here after a decade or more in the other place. Hoping to make as many useful connections here as I did in the good old days.
