The need for greater diversity amongst educators and teachers goes to workforce pressures across the country. Positive messages and leadership needed with investment urgently. @JasonClareMP @YDASvic @NatHutchins
‘I feel invisible’ A young Educator living with a disability said this week. ‘Am I the only one?’ The Educator community is incredibly diverse. What do we do to support that diversity amongst Educators? What data do we gather? @spage_ECA @helengibbo @SueTape @JCherryGEL
