Postcards of praise written and ready to be posted to every student who has impressed me this year.
It's a poor do when your 4 year old has to call out the casual sexism in his Oxford Reading Tree school book: "But women can be astronauts too!"
Which subjects are on track to meet their postgraduate ITT recruitment targets in England this year? Errr, not that many on the evidence so far... Here's a thread with a full set of subject-level trend data for this year so far, against an estimated, indicative target path👇
#InternationalWomensDay & why we need it: UK women retiring have half a man’s pension pot; Gender pay gap 15% & growing; 113 countries don't have equal pay laws; 17 countries limit when/how women can travel outside home; Estimated 736 million women have been assaulted by a man.
I rarely share unpublished poetry online but I wrote this today. It's called "If I have a Daughter" #shewasgoingforarun
Teach them to read. Read to them. Nurture their love of discovering new words and worlds. That's all we have to do.
Today I saw schools in Blackpool working in collaboration to improve literacy 📚✏️ Watch this to see how our Opportunity Areas funding is helping schools across the town to improve outcomes for children👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
This BBC graph shows the incredibly low investment in the NHS by the Government from 2010 to the pandemic It’s a major reason why we had 100,000 staff shortages in early 2020 And why there were millions on waiting lists even then Please RT so everyone can be clear
4/10 working mums wouldn’t request flexible working in an interview because they thought they'd be discriminated against. For those who do ask, 1/3 are turned down and the vast majority encounter discrimination. Sound familiar? act.newmode.net/action/trades-…
I'm not sorry for putting my girl first, no matter what. I'm not sorry for carrying my phone with me at work at all times, in case she needs me. I'm not sorry that I arrive at 8.25am sometimes after a difficult morning getting us all ready. I'm not sorry. Stop saying sorry.
Here’s the Tory Party Conference version of Kipling’s poem ‘If’.
I share the rage & grief at the murder of #SabinaNessa, a daughter, a teacher & only 28 - killed in a public place and found after so many hours. Every year presents a horrific catalogue of violence but no change to the fact that on average 1 woman is killed every 3 days. [1/3]
Dan Wootton, a man whose “job” is spouting made-up bollocks, spouts made-up bollocks about teachers, who not only taught BOTH in-person AND online throughout the last year, but ALSO did all the work of assessing GCSE and A-level performance, without being paid a penny extra.
There, fixed it for you @thetimes.
After the most difficult year in teaching, it's unfair gov is freezing public sector pay. Returning from mat leave to teaching in a pandemic, whilst my friends had moved schools was so hard I almost quit, then the debacle of TAGS was horrendous (+ unpaid) actionnetwork.org/letters/write-…
How it started, how it's going...
The hell of teacher-assessed grades that secondary staff find themselves in right now is barely sustainable, writes @MissLLewis tes.com/news/GCSEs-a-l…
Is it end of term yet??
