I don’t have many followers on here so please share if you have more. Connect Ed is free CPD provided by our partnership (TCCT and Beckfoot Trust). Everyone deserves access to great CPD. This is our small contribution to the sector that we care so deeply about.
Please share so that whoever wants to can benefit from this free event!
#ConnectEDLive is back for 2024-25! We're excited to announce our first special guest of the academic year, Josh Goodrich, co-founder and CEO of Steplab. Don't miss this FREE online event where he’ll share insights into 'what great coaches know and do'. Secure you spot now: rb.gy/kh39mp

Great feedback from Beckfoot Oakbank where I was today. Huge shout out to our wonderful @nickisullivan.bsky.social who makes CPD dreams come true.
Excited for our next Trust twilight tomorrow - We have over 50 speakers presenting across our schools at Beckfoot Trust - sharing professional knowledge and wisdom. @nikkisullivan.bsky.social @shirley01756.bsky.social

Can’t wait to read the contribution from our professional friend Jon Gilbert. No doubt it’ll be a case of shouting, ‘yes and this’ all the way through!

Very proud of our cross-trust collaboration with The Two Counties Trust to deliver this inclusive CPD offer for all. If like us, you have a passion for learning, connect with us online on the 15th of October.
ConnectED is back - a free online event 15th October 4-5pm with Josh Goodrich, co-founder and CEO of Steplab, exploring what great coaches know and do. Save the date and spread the word. @shirley01756.bsky.social @jgprofdev.bsky.social @nikkisullivan.bsky.social

We constantly mix up why, what and how when criticising Ofsted. The big listen addressed some of this. There are still big questions about how the inspectorate and regulator connect. The @cstvoice.bsky.social and @leoracruddas.bsky.social are the most sensible and intelligent voice on this.

More than the single word judgment going, I am delighted for Headteachers everywhere that ‘the call’ can now only be on one day. Tuesday would have been better, but 1 day not 3 is still a game changer. Imagine actually being able to say with greater certainty what you’ll be doing Tuesday to Friday!

Moving to this platform and leaving being lots of ‘followers’ has made me think a lot about why and what we post. I thought post pandemic there’d be a period of inflection and the world would become a better place. Post summer 2024 I’m thinking that again. The To Be list as always starts with me.

And as if by magic. Consideration of implementation. Such refreshing transparency and realism of where the sector is at.

Well done @fstewarthistory.bsky.social; critical thinker, knowledgable, kind and importantly, a front-line teacher in a great inner city school. I’m excited and optimistic about this review. I just hope along with the why and what, there’s consideration of the plan for implementation.
