The strange reality that it's #pincher that'll bring this administration down, not #russiareport or #suegrayreport #coviddeaths #collapsingeconomy #failedCOPdelivery or any of the #partygate revelations.
Shame on them all.

Would we get Raab then? And then,...?

Has he gone yet?

This thing happening in #Gru movies - sounds a lot like a tame version of Rocky Horror audience participation? Maybe they need organise to see it only after bedtime / 8pm and support this kind of event viewing!

5 - worst of all, the risk of schools adopting these resources wholesale seems to be something the DfE are not concerned about - but they expect Ofsted to punish schools that do not adapt them enough.
They described the resources as being in line with govt policy. So - be afraid!

3 - The DfE want to 'stimulate' the market - and want an open procurement process that'll follow the standards of other government processes. A low bar indeed.
4 - There should be resources ready by next Autumn - Sept 23.

So, what did I learn about the ALB - the evolution from Oak National - from DfE webinar - a thread:
1 - The vision is for an offer far more comprehensive than Oak!
2- They haven't really though through the IP and international access issues through. A massive fail! (#OER ?)

DfE Session on evolution of Oak National to ALB - this is what they are proposing offering>
Looks like they are offering a comprehensive offer!

Do @educationgovuk staff need a training session on why reading powerpoint slides is a waste of time and how to use time more effectively - or is this a way to reduce feedback time?

Finally caught @aliterative live!... On the weirdest location ever....in an industrial estate, in a brewery warehouse (they call it a Tap),... Just waiting for a Dancy LeGarde excerpt...

Is it just me that is having problems connecting to the DfE session on the Future Curriculum Body?
They've send 5 links - and none of them seem to open.

This morning I was in @Helenno33567401 's school talking about Chanukah and Judaism to Yr1&2, and had SO much fun.
Favourite moment was asking kids for their favourite fried food, ...and one very quiet kid suddenly burst out "cake!" . Not sure why it tickled me so much. Still 😂

Primary SLT - Is there anyone who'd be able to spare 30mins to talk to me about Intervention at your school?
If so, thank you and please DM

Audiobook issue.
Is the word "rifled" pronounced:

Thinking about stepping up your #PrimaryHistory #PrimaryGeography curriculum?

Where is the protest?
Where is the #RussiaReport ?
Where are the voices of unity?

Why are we so passive in the face of this increasingly oppressive 'government'?

When is the #GeneralStrike ?

Really interesting reflections on Bristol's relationship with Race - 'Black and the Union Jack' https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0018f86d
@1Xtra
and to hear from @lana_crosbie

Highly recommended for thinking about 'decolonising' the local curriculum and schools enabling positive change

Has BJ dyed his hair to distract from his failing government?
