@DavidDidau I can believe we are still asking this question when everyone knows the answer.

*NEW* We think the teacher crisis is about recruitment. It’s not. We train thousands every year then watch a third leave within 5 years. Almost half of trained teachers are not teaching. The real crisis is retention. And we’re losing many who could have become great. Link in reply ⬇

@DavidDidau This is such a simple question to answer. Everybody knows the answer.

@tombennett71 I always agree with your thoughts on behavior Tom, but also classes should be aplace where questioning students should happen all the time. In some classes especially big classes some students come out of the class without being asked a single question. Why does this happen?

Schools use these strategies as a last resort. So when numbers rise it’s usually because of a rise in behaviour that requires a suspension or exclusion. Which is only done in response to intolerably violent, abusive or disruptive behaviour. I use the word intolerably deliberately- no one should have to endure abuse or disruption, no one can teach or learn in its presence, and no one can manage it in a purely conversational way. Sometimes, rarely, these responses are required in order to keep children safe, and I’m deeply grateful to all the teachers and leaders who make the tough choices and do the hard work making this possible.

@C_Hendrick Some great work. However to compare an expert teacher with h a sports person we should measure student outcomes which is measurable.

🚨 What is Teacher Expertise? 🚨 We easily recognise expertise in fields like sports or medicine, where success is often measurable. But how do we define expertise in teaching, where the outcomes are more complex and influenced by multiple factors? This free resource, a taster from the forthcoming How Teaching and Learning Happens e-learning course, highlights the key characteristics of expert teachers and how they develop over time. This framework is part of a broader programme of teacher professional development we have designed for @AcademicaUoAS Sign up to our newsletter for more content like this: academica-group.com/en/newsletter-… For more info on the course: academica-group.com/en/how-teachin…

@MichaelCasey__ @RonnieBage @Iain_caldwell Cheers Mick. Thanks for your support over the years and especially lately with Sam

@NeilGodfrey9 @RonnieBage @Iain_caldwell Congratulations @NeilGodfrey9 and good luck 👏🏼

I am happy to share that I am starting a new role as part of Hartlepool Borough Council and their Community Hubs. I am looking forward to supporting the development of literacy across Hartlepool. Thank you Malcolm Yorke, Alexandra Graham, Ronnie Bage and Dr Iain Caldwell

@AlexJQuigley @RonnieBage @Iain_caldwell Thanks Alex. It’s been a while since I saw you at ResearchEd! Anyway I will be supporting the Hartlepool Literacy Task Force. So I think your expertise may come in handy. It is more adult literacy and supporting parents to help their kids. Not sure if this is your exact area.

@NeilGodfrey9 @RonnieBage @Iain_caldwell Congrats, Neil 👍
