@HecticTeacher @hsc_fe_teacher @TesResources @tes It's fantastic to see displays in the corridor as well as the classroom. They all look very inviting too.

@hsc_fe_teacher @TesResources @tes Hear are the displays for my classroom and two from the department corridor. They are sociology aimed in my room and social sciences in the corridor

Show me your display boards. Any subject. Does anyone have any posters for display boards relating to health and social care? Some functional skills ones would be very helpful too! @TesResources @tes #edutwitter #edchat

@nick_brook sums up @NAHTnews’s #improvingaccountability thoughts: “We are calling for schools to take responsibility for schools in their local area. We should lend our strength to others. We need more peer reviews- identifying strengths and identifying vulnerabilities” #LAB18

Really important point from @RosMcM: I know there are trusts out there like Bright Tribe but we should recognise that not all trusts are the same. I see far more collaboration on the ground between MATs than I ever saw amongst local authority schools #ImprovingAccountability

We need to create a different vision of what a good school is - likely to be one that is working hard to improve in challenging circumstances @LucyMPowell #accountability #Lab18 @NAHTnews @NEUnion

@LucyMPowell: “There might be a lot more excellent schools in challenging areas than our current accountability system suggests.” #LAB18

@LordJimKnight opens by talking about ‘exciting transformation impact’ of digital tech in teaching in Zambia

"The pressure that some teachers are facing is inhumane", says @AlisonMPeacock #Lab18

@tes @EduPolicyInst @NAHTnews Ros McMullen: Heads should be concerned about the interests of all children in their area, not just their school, but the accountability system "encourages the exact opposite of that" #Lab18

.@nick_brook on @Ofstednews: You have Inspectors running around making judgements on the hoof. We need to be more honest about what they are able to do. >> 🤔 #ImprovingAccountability

Getting an ‘outstanding’ from Oftsed has become a goal in itself, rather than achieving excellence (for the benefit of students) - @nick_brook #improvingaccountability #Lab18

@tes @EduPolicyInst @NAHTnews Brook: "We need to balance holding schools to account with helping them to improve" #Lab18

.@nick_brook: there's an obsession with data tracking in schools but you can't run a school from your office, looking at tracking systems. It's really important that we know what great teaching looks like. 👏 #ImprovingAccountability

Finally, @Melissa_Benn observes that the #ImprovingAccountability Commission wants to protect Ofsted but questions how essential this is - some (@LaylaMoran mentioned) have already argued for the abolition of Ofsted. @nick_brook comes out to defend the role of @Ofstednews

@tes, @NAHTnews and EPI’s event at #LAB18 is underway. @LucyMPowell states that “at present we have the worst of both worlds- a low trust and high accountability system”. #improvingaccountability
