Is anyone else self-policing or is it just me?

Roxanne @roxallen.bsky.social · Jan 16

Unfortunately a sign of the times. I absolutely loved teaching but realised after nearly two decades, that it was no longer sustainable.

Not sure how the government can fix this.

Official data shows recruitment to teacher training in England is a long way below target. Slight improvements on last year, but levels remain below pre-pandemic

- 38% below target for secondary overall
- 12 out of 17 subjects below respective targets
- 12% below target in usually-reliable primary

Interesting - thank you. I know exclusion review panels/appeals is a niche topic, but it's ripe for change. If you're doing more work on exclusions, pls remember it's not only teachers & leaders who are tired www.nga.org.uk/news-views/d...

Dealing with the rising workload of exclusions: sooner and later

Emma Knights discusses the key issues of exclusions and what NGA's plans are to cover this important topic.

The article on today's @teachertapp.bsky.social is a very interesting read. Lots of work still needs to be done to tackle inequality.

Sometimes, the scariest leaps lead to the greatest growth. Trust the process, embrace the fear, and jump. The net will appear. #TakeTheLeap

Building teams. We shouldn’t ask ‘will they fit in with us?’. We should ask instead, what don’t we currently have? What perspectives and ideas and styles will challenge our thinking, provide different insights, bring divergent views? What voices are we missing?

That’s team building for me.
