More proposed changes to the post-16 sector announced on Monday, including new “V-levels” that are intended to replace BTECs. What do we think? Is this the answer? Will BTECs leave a huge gap? Will a change of government mean all of this comes to nothing anyway?🤷♀️

What are V-levels, England’s new post-16 qualification, and will they improve vocational education?
Students may be able to choose several V-levels in different subjects or even mix and match them with A-levels.

Nice to be back on campus, particularly to meet with colleagues for lunch - and @kro-bar.bsky.social’s idea of a mezze platter for one is very much in keeping with my own. 🍽️

Great keynote lecture by @markrpriestley.bsky.social at today’s LJMU Teacher Agency conference, problematising conceptualisations of teacher agency. One of those talks that genuinely makes you want to do some reading and thinking on the train home (I’ll probably nap when it comes to it, but still).

Absolutely loving the newly-opened Ellen Wilkinson Commons in our building at @educationuom.bsky.social - lots of areas for communal working and for socialising with colleagues. Not completely sure about the carpets but looking forward to getting my book on that shelf!

Thanks to @kirsty-finn-mcr.bsky.social and team for a really interesting lunchtime webinar outlining the findings of their Young Women’s Working Lives research: ‘Earning while Learning: student employment’ - great project that I’d like to know more about!

What a fantastic event to close the working day - looking at maps in the Map Room (who knew there was a Map Room!) at @manchester.ac.uk. Always fascinating to see different perspectives of the globe, plus I’ll never look at Stockport quite the same way again after seeing this amazing Emotion Map 🗺️
