Incredibly proud to have created this unit using Helen Castor’s ‘She-Wolves’ book for @marymyatt.bsky.social Myatt&Co
Students will explore the lives and actions of 4 Medieval queens and answer how these interesting women defied and challenged the conventions of the time.
Join us this weekend in Wakefield for the @womened.bsky.social x BrewEd event!
It’s going to be a brilliant and inspiring day!

It was great to be on Mind The Gap with @mrsball.bsky.social to talk all things scaffolding … and our professional relationship 🤣
Thank you to @emmaturner75.bsky.social and @teacherhead.bsky.social for having us on!

A jaw dropping moment when John Hattie said he had just finished reading The Scaffolding Effect and name dropped it into his keynote!
In 2024, if someone had said this to me and @mrsball.bsky.social we wouldn’t have believed it!
Thanks @innerdrive.bsky.social for believing in us!
Great to see you too!

Over 150 colleagues signed up for the KS3 Ambitious Years webinar with @stevewillshaw.bsky.social @lambhearttea.bsky.social & me.
Alex, on the difference scholarly, but accessible texts make to learning. I love that she talked about them not being 'gobbetised'!
DM for a link to the recording
Looking forward to Saturday's SHP developing teacher conference alongside a stellar lineup of primary and secondary speakers.
