RT for a chance to be the first to read it.

Today we received our advance copies.

It’s a serious book written in a funny way. It’s my favourite thing I’ve ever done.

I spent a wonderful day working with ECTs exploring their beliefs around maths teaching. It is such a privilege to hear their reflections and passion for supporting pupils 🤩 @ncetm.bsky.social

Pleased to be on this list. Really important to build a community to support all in ITE/ITT

Totally agree. It is always a good discussion to have with trainees to help them understand planning is a process.
