There are 10 days left before UK teachers can quit their jobs. Anyone in the UK thinking about moving international? #geographyteacher

Can we really decolonise geography if we don’t start with decolonising languages in our classroom? Asked that question today on LinkedIn and would love to hear how you’re supporting your multilanguage learners.

Her Father Took Her on a Trip to Pakistan. The Police Say It Was a Trap. Hira Anwar was pulled out of middle school for what she thought was a vacation. Her death is being investigated as a so-called honor killing.

Another horrific honor killing. There is no honor in killing your daughters www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/n...

My daughter has a new PYP unit coming up investigating how humans impact local environment. Together we designed her first survey123, went & investigated the park & she wrote her first StoryMap! Not bad for a kid just turned 7.

Great lesson today using translanguaging. Statements given to students. Worked in silence for 10 minutes as they translated to English, drew an image to rep statement & then put together as group cartoon. This lesson introduced our assessment for Türkiye earthquake #geographyteacher #EAL

Decoding is an important skill for bilingual learners. It also makes me think - who are the notes for? How are you decoding as part of translanguaging in your lessons? #geographyteacher #EAL #bilingual #multilingual

I can’t even spell this morning 😂 did you try the tool? Also if you’re into bread making you should try focaccia - there’s a lovely cinnamon roll style bread recipe going around.
