Inspiring story from @PaulAmuzie about empowering young people to build power in ways that affect their education - in this case lobbying @TfL to improve their school bus service @CitizensUK #FairEdForAll
How do we go from saying "I'm stuck in traffic" to "I am part of the traffic"? 🤯 Loving this call to a mindshift on how to effect change from @GinaCicerone #FairEdForAll @_TheFEA
"Successful system-change in education happened when organisations worked with the adults in their lives just as much as with the children" - interesting finding from @GinaCicerone's Churchill fellowship research #FairEdForAll @_TheFEA

This is really, really interesting. Proper civic stuff from a genuinely innovative trust, @SteveChalke, @JohnBarneby.

"It's our behaviour as leaders that creates the toxicity around inspection. We need to be less obsessed with Ofsted." @JonColes01 #EducationFest
"We've created a profession that doesn't work if you have a life outside of school. We can't maintain a workforce where we're all martyrs" @HelenaMarsh81 speaking sense on teacher wellbeing & retention #EducationFest
I love this idea of making schools "life-friendly" places to make for a healthy workforce 🧘🏻♀️🤱🏾🚴🏽♂️🏄🏻♂️

What the evidence says about how to motivate pupils 👇🤓
#EducationFest
What pupils attribute their failures to impacts whether they are motivated to keep trying, and it's better if they believe the cause is:
- Changeable
- Within their control
"We need to help them see the link between specific effort and success"
@MissEmmaLark
#EducationFest
3 "basic psycho-social needs" that need to be met to boost pupils' motivation:
⁃Feeling included, safe & respected
⁃Feeling successful
⁃Understanding the rationale behind what they're being asked to do

Every year I marvel at how the @SchoolsWeek team manage to run the biggest event in the education calendar and get out an issue out. This year they have also had a rare July election to contend with as well! What a wonderful bunch they are.

Teacher trainee recruitment in England this year will be substantially below target for the third year running, and for 11th time in the last 12 years
Recruitment is a key part (not only - retention is vital) of this crisis because it's still 20% lower than before the pandemic
This is such an important issue for child safeguarding - it needs urgent action👇👇👇

Amazing job @YouthEndowFund. No child in the UK should fear violence. Help lead a team working for change. If you can lead on finance, people and project management - this could be the role for you: youthendowmentfund.org.uk/ca… (Pls RT 🧵)
"It's a bit terrifying that after 3 years of teaching you might not get any better at your job." [In schools without a strong professional culture.]
"We need to hold onto teachers, but in environments where they will grow and develop." @CatScutt #rEDSouthWest
The most effective teachers ask other teachers for advice (and not the other way round!)
@CatScutt #rEDSouthWest
I love this finding and I'm sure it applies in other contexts too 🤔
