Getting into the rhythm of my new full-time AP week.

Love this hour on a Wednesday where I’m done with school but early for rugby.

I sit in McDonalds or in my car in Waitrose car park and give myself some space to think about T&L.

This week it’s @joshpd.bsky.social on responsive coaching.

I am in my 20th year in education and the @steplab.bsky.social coaching Intensive was the best PD I have ever been in. No sit and get, the PD modeled great teaching from the first minute until the last. @joshpd.bsky.social @rachel-sewell.bsky.social @mrzachg.bsky.social

Using an Instructional Coaching model to develop metacognitive thinking in students As an Instructional Coach, I’m fortunate enough to spend 50% of my school life working with teachers to help them develop their teaching practice. This year, I’ve been using Josh Goodrich’s excelle…

My first post, and it’s a blog! Using an Instructional Coaching model to develop meta cognitive thinking in students. Thanks to @joshpd.bsky.social and his book ‘Responsive Coaching’ for the inspiration selectiveblogging.wordpress.com/2025/03/07/u...

🗣️ Teaching is challenging, but rewarding. Seeing students grow and succeed is unparalleled.

Check out @joshpd.bsky.social and @priteshraichura.bsky.social on the demands & rewards of teaching in @schoolsweek.bsky.social.

And why not watch Pritesh in action⁉️: steplab.co/film

Great teachers are not born; they are made Focusing on great professional development opportunities is key to ending our recruitment woes

I genuinely believe teaching is the best profession! We are responsible for shaping characters of our pupils as much as we think hard about how to improve their attainment. How stimulating & what a privilege. My article with @joshpd.bsky.social below 👇🏼 #EduSky

It looks like this could be a game changer - something akin to Monday Night Football. I am imagining @joshpd.bsky.social being the Gary Neville to @pepsmccrea.bsky.social version of Jamie Carragher.

I'm genuinely not sure. There's a Goodrich castle, which I imagine we both part-own.

Of all the books I've read this year, @joshpd.bsky.social 's 'Responsive Coaching' has been the best. Thought-provoking, research-informed and actionable, it is a must for anyone linked to PD.
