Learning from my mistakes: an English teacher's blog. Friday, 31 July 2015. Star of the Week – the black hole of praise. 8217; A simple device to motivate and reward behaviour has become the bane of my life. There is a deeper problem under all of this. I am not a pushy parent that feels that his child is not getting the rewards he/she deserves – okay, maybe a bit. This following exchange might help to highlight what, I feel, is the problem:. Me: Who got the award this week? Me: What did he get it for?

Learning from my mistakes: an English teacher's blog: The Spelling Problem: finding a voice for people
http://learningfrommymistakesenglish.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-spelling-problem-finding-voice-for.html
Learning from my mistakes: an English teacher's blog. Saturday, 14 December 2013. The Spelling Problem: finding a voice for people. For me, spelling is the thing that most people pick up on in a person’s writing. That and handwriting. Often during a parents’ evening, parents hone in on their child’s inability to spell or their handwriting. I am left agreeing with them. In attempt to appease Ofsted, I bet most schools have upped the amount of spelling tests students sit. We now have another set of rules i...

Learning from my mistakes: an English teacher's blog. Friday, 29 May 2015. Big system, little system – put them in a cardboard box. In a rare moment of escapism, I visited a city this week. On the journey there, I purchased a coffee from a vendor at a train station. It was one of those open shops where you stand and collect the hot beverage at the end of a line. I like excitement and variety, so I bought a white Americano. 8220;What is your name? 8221; asked the lady behind the counter. 8220;Sorry, sir?

Learning from my mistakes: an English teacher's blog. Sunday, 28 June 2015. The End of 'Of Mice and Men'. I write this blog with tears in my eyes. Big fat tears are streaming down my cheeks as I contemplate teaching ‘Of Mice and Men’ for the … last…time. Compose yourself, Chris. You can do it. In fact, you can do it! Again Next year. Just with Year 9. The lorry that is ‘Of Mice and Men’ is going to be delivered a year or two early for most people. 8216;those Western magazines. These points I discovered:.

Failing Better Every Time. Learning to teach; teaching to learn. Why cultural capital matters. August 21, 2016. I wish my whole Year 11 class could be here with us’, I said to my husband as we sat sipping wine in a Venetian café overlooking the Campo del Ghetto Nuovo a couple of weeks ago. ‘Have you taken leave of your senses? Century. Putting on a play like this in a place with such resonance doesn’t lend itself to simplistic interpretation. Are we ever answered? The lure of the laminator. You are comme...

Failing Better Every Time. Learning to teach; teaching to learn. Eye Of The Tiger. November 27, 2016. November 27, 2016. At least, I am going over to the idea that there is no dark side. When I saw the Tiger Teacher launch promoted on Twitter I signed up. Out of curiosity of course. Why would you allow your ideological convictions to get in the way of improving the outcomes of the children you educate on the basis of a couple of Twitter spats and some ill-informed comments? Why cultural capital matters.
