A first attempt at a one-page overview of the 'Four Pillars of Assessment' by @EvidenceInEdu with core knowledge questions - handy for trainees & mentors as a 'go to' summary to recall the full document. Link in the comments, if anyone would like a copy. #traintoteach #assessment

I remember meeting Mel at a @getintoteaching event and knew she’d go from strength to strength training with us! So lovely to see her continuing her professional development journey in one of our @futureacademies schools, knowing she is set up to thrive as an ECT and beyond! 💫

This week, our trainee teachers came together with other subject specialists across the trust to collaborate and share expertise. Our MFL trainees had a brilliant day working with @SenorWahab and the languages team, focusing on bridging the learning gap.

No surprises why flexible-working (to include ITT) is hot on the agenda: female teachers between the ages of 30-39 are the biggest demographic of those leaving the profession - read my good friend’s insights on leading the regional support for parents returning to teaching...

Pleased to share an audiobook version of Part 1. ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ (2023).
Reading a 44-page document isn’t easy; It takes over 2hrs to record; how long does it take staff to read it properly?
