💼 The government says it has taken 'leaps forward in plans to drive up school standards' with more school improvement advisers named this week - but many sector leaders remain sceptical So, who are they, how will they operate, and will it all work?

Obviously I can’t comment on this particular case, but the guidance in the outcome seems sensible. #EduSky #exclusions

Schools’ costs will outstrip their funding by £800 million this year if improved pay rises for teachers and support staff are approved without extra funding, analysis shows buff.ly/nn2uRIL

And if that's not possible, then what? #EduSky

Buzzing. A tear in the eye for Kim Little 🥹 SO well deserved #Arsenal

Only 15% think dressing up is an important part of World Book Day. Over half think it puts unnecessary pressure on parents. Begs the question… 🧐

If you *could* have 1:1 devices, would you want them? How much tech would you want in your classroom if you had free choice? @teachertapp.bsky.social

This is a *key* new paper in the world of school mental health interventions A very large trial (N=6388) testing a universal CBT-based app for adolescent depression (13-14y) No effects found (on depression, anxiety, distress or insomnia) (🧵) mentalhealth.bmj.com/content/28/1...

There is a government consultation on narrowing the digital divide in schools and colleges. You can respond here: consult.education.gov.uk/reliable-and...

The continued rise in suspensions was predicted by @fftedudatalab.bsky.social a long time back.

Some confident ignorance here 🙄 So frustrating for those affected…

I’ve worked in that 2%. COMPLETELY draining #EduSky

#EduSky #SEND #SEN When a student is accessing CAMHS, should they be put on the SEND list (under SEMH) by default?

I deliberately chose not to watch this, so can anyone fill me in on why schools should be showing a TV drama? Genuine question… #EduSky

I think this is powerful from a classroom management perspective as well. #behaviour Seeing their usual teacher's face/hearing their voice sends the message that the teacher is still overseeing their work. It could lay out the conditions for study, i.e. in silence, pair-volume. #EduSky

What a great analogy. #EduSky Not just limited to AI though: #curriculum 'The weights do not actually need to be moved' reminded me of the worst course I've ever 'taught'. Almost NO learning, the only point was to get an extra qual on their CV, and into a Progress8 bucket for the school. 🪣

Lettuce speak? 🍎

This is higher than I expected for ‘Yes’. Do people think they have a measurable impact on attendance or is it just a way of proving the school is trying to tackle attendance? 🍎

Someone make this make sense to me please? 🍎 🤯

Legendary teacher story ⬇️😂

Wow. What a mess 🍎

A little celebration for me this week. I’ve just published my 2,000th article for @schoolsweek.bsky.social Went to check how many days I’d been working for the paper and 🤯 2,000 days exactly! So that’s an article a day for every calendar day since I started…

Hiya! Are you a parent who is struggling to access AP for your child? Schools Week are looking into it. Feel free to contact @rhistorer.bsky.social or email [email protected] #SEND #thisisAP

My last evening in Sweden, tomorrow I’ll be meeting with staff on municipalities on their digital resources for children with SEND

www.davidptuition.com Specialises in #SEND / #SEMH and has worked extensively in #AP #thisisAP 🍎

Looking into some extra tutoring for a young person - has anyone got experience of either of these companies? Tute Targeted Provision #EduSky @phoenixedsarah.bsky.social I'd appreciate a RP if possible - think they do a lot in #AP 🙏

More than 56,000 people here in the freezing cold. Emirates has sold out every time I’ve been. The growth in women’s football is SO exciting to see ☺️ #arsenal
