@StuartLock I love results day. Makes all the work worth it.

Probably a good idea, but it's clear that 'results day' is going to be gone within a year or two & I can't help but feel sad about that. It's the most joyous, informal amazing celebration of 5 or 7 or 13-14 years work between teachers and students. The pics are always glorious.

@lewispringle This is great but you missed the bubbly in the fridge rampage!

@SGorard This is so interesting. I was looking into whether MATS are effective at turning around converter academies and really shocked at the lack of research- especially the assumption they do/ don’t is driving so much policy.

Have academy schools been more successful than community schools, and is it due to their extra freedoms? Read my new piece in The Conversation. theconversation.com/academies-have…

Massive thanks to all the school leaders competing our survey 🙏. If you've not done it yet, please help us understand leadership across the UK (it takes 10-15mins): sustainableschoolleadership.uk/leadership-sur…

It’s our annual pumpkin carving competition with the neighbours and we’d love you to pick a winner. Please reply with the number of your favourite! Thank you 🎃 #halloween #pumpkincarving

This was fab! Thanks for sharing @TeacherTapp Tackling Low Participation Tasks curriculumteamleader.wordpress.com/2024/10/07/tac…

@TTRadioOfficial @SchoolsWeek This would make sense if directed time was actually time spent working… I don’t know any profession that does so much unpaid overtime or pays less attention to counting hours.

NEW via @SchoolsWeek - The boss of one of the country’s biggest academy trusts has suggested the 'archaic' directed time cap for teachers should be reviewed, saying 'if we want to be seen as a profession we can’t continue to rigidly count hours' schoolsweek.co.uk/trust-boss-tim…

@naylorsnatter I am loving this book, keeping me going in a very hectic first term!

@Janroweljmu We have 14 ECTs/ ITT needing 14 mentors, all needing reduced TTs and regular cover for training. It’s a lot…

Hearing from lots of ITE people that placements are a real struggle this year. Consequences of daft DfE ITE and ECT requirements coming home to roost. There are only so many teachers willing to mentor. And the additional mandatory training now required is putting teachers off.

I am seeking participants for my #EdD research. Click the link to find out more about my research and how to register your interest: callforparticipants.my.canva.site

@RogersHistory I always thought it would be interesting to do Undercover Boss but headteachers going in as supply teachers

A lot of teachers stuck in toxic schools. We need: 1. Publication of retention data spanning 5 years 2. Anonymised exit interviews available to job applicants 3. Forget OFSTED - secret supply teachers 4. More open conversations about toxic schools What is a toxic school? See below:

🚨 NEW: For the first time, we can reveal school by school information on how secondary pupil intakes reflect their local community. Our accompanying analysis looks at which local authorities in England have the most and least socially segregated schools ⬇️🧵

Excited to be presenting @researchED1 next week. I’ll be talking about how to revitalise CPD with action research. So many amazing presenters this year and still tickets left!

@MrsMFteach Get to know the admin staff as they will know how the school works. Don’t be afraid to ask for help and advice rather than trying to do it all yourself.

#TeamEnglish #UKEdChat I'm starting at a new school in September. It's my first and only school move in 10 years! ❓️What tips do you have for settling into a completely new school setting?❓️

@FunkyPedagogy We would love to be involved, but can’t DM.

@oldandrewuk Teachers walking around the classroom less. We are going to do some work on this next year.

Teachers (and people who work in schools): Is there anything that changed during the pandemic that hasn't turned back to normal?

@PenguinUKBooks Motherwell by Deborah Orr

What is the best book you've read so far this year? 📚✨

@jamiesont Love this!

If I was Ed I’d be marching out of Downing Street to greet the press pack eating the biggest fuck off bacon sandwich mankind has ever known
