These would be great for any and all people interested in Shakespeare but think if if @mtpt_project people on mat/pat leave who fancy some free brilliant CPD this could be lovely. I loved a webinar on mat leave
Free webinars? On every Shakespeare play? With Emma Smith? You're a fool if you miss these.

@katielockett @clhubes @SEAsheltie Yes because they’re to give more space for you to get out a car seat/ pushchair and for you to be closer to the shops! Such a good idea, saves a lot off trouble

@msybibi Having moved schools 3 times now in 13 years I can say that you will always miss them and carry with you things you learned there and did there. Each new place helps you work out what your values are and makes you a better teacher, leader, colleague. Good luck tomorrow!

@HeroicMrT @Strickomaster Heavy focus on exams too. Tail wagging the dog has made a one size fits all model much easier to create with everything f centring on whether kids can perform in a useless exam rather than teaching the subject teachers love and wanted to share with children.

@greeborunner @jdurran @MikeHaines20 I’ve had a lot of training that is quite like this. Lots of ‘just tell them’ approaches where what students think is seen as superfluous to learning in English, not everywhere but it’s definitely a thing

@engteacherabro2 Yeah and debate was more within subjects so you might like/ critique and approach but from quite a specific standpoint. You’ve always been good at that!

@iconoclastic63 It truly is! Doesn’t teach them anything about language, too long, requires loads of contextual knowledge of the Victorian era for no clear reason (Aqa in particular) usually biased towards things at least half the country have very little experience of- surfing, public transport
