Schwarz 2010: What is the most important school related factor in student learning? The answer is teaching. @director_ioe at #futureofitt

United Learning to 'over train' increase no's of teachers, help solve problems in system.Erm, cherry pick best teachers surely! #futureofitt

Jon Coles persuasive on how to raise professional status of teachers, comparable with law and accountancy. But what about pay? #futureofitt
