An Open Letter We've worked on this response to the Report of the Council of Skills Advisers from @UKLabour Hopefully it gives you some idea of where we stand and what we hope to change. medium.com/@ceitcampaign/an-…

This is great from @bphillipsonMP – so reassuring to hear her acknowledge that poor behaviour is often a reason for teachers leaving the profession, and that schools need backing from parents to create orderly classrooms.

👍👍👍

A very good and reassuring appointment. Pleased to see someone who knows the value of a knowledge-rich curriculum heading the review.

The government will have to successfully square this aspiration with its manifesto commitment to build on knowledge rich syllabuses. Getting this wrong is the route to the policy failure seen elsewhere.

Today’s the day. 🗳️ We will still be here after the election to see how manifesto words become policy in action.

📣 Our annual report on teacher recruitment and retention is out today! The report provides insights into the current state of the teaching profession in England. After the highlights? Take a look below 👇🧵 Read the full report here: bit.ly/3xuTr27

53% of secondary teachers in the most disadvantaged schools said that poor behaviour entirely stopped learning at least once in the last lesson they taught, compared to 37% who reported the same in the most affluent state schools.

Interesting results from the @TeacherTapp general election manifesto education policy rankings! Love how this was done. It would be great if @bphillipsonMP could have a good look at this to see what the priorities are for teachers and how it aligns with Labour’s priorities.

There are schools where behaviour is so bad that children are unsafe, don’t learn, and scores leave with no quals. You won’t hear about these schools in the press. Instead, you’ll find journalists bashing schools with high expectations. It’s lazy, unfair, and deeply unhelpful.

Love to see @TeacherTapp giving teachers a voice in the policy debate. Do make sure to log in and have your opinion count.

This weekend on @teachertapp we’re polling to discover the most popular education policies from the manifestos. We need to know what those working in education and in classrooms think about these changes so we can amplify your voices. Take part here: onelink.to/teachertapp

Good work @CEITeaching on talking to Labour about maintaining a necessary focus on the role curriculum and ideas around knowledge have when it comes to social justice.

Here’s a thread from Bridget Phillipson summarising the education commitments in the Labour manifesto.
