As we return to school for the start of term many of us have INSET before pupils return. This is worth a listen if your school is into Growth Mindset (and even if it isn't!). The Studies Show from @tomchivers.bsky.social. api.substack.com/feed/podcast...

Book covers: How They Broke Britain by James O'Brien & Failed State by Sam Freedman

Caught up with a bit of reading during the Summer Holiday with these two from @mrjamesob.bsky.social and @samfr.bsky.social! Fascinating, illuminating and thought provoking books but also a little infuriating and anger inducing! Well worth your time, IMHO.

I've yet to really engage much over here; lots of edu people and I'm not sure I feel comfortable contributing. Time will tell.

Giving Bluesky a go after lurking for a while. Brief intro: I'm a chemistry teacher at a UK secondary school but also post about riding my bike, running and drinking beer. doc_gnome on Threads.

I've given up on X; have been using Threads quite a bit but not Bluesky yet really. Like you say, finding out who is here and who engages will determine how it goes.

Welcome. I've had an account for a while but haven't really used it yet. Maybe now is the time.
