How often is teacher professional development designed with the same detail and consideration as designing the school's curriculum? And, shouldn't they be done in partnership? #edchat #ukedchat #edutwitter #SLTchat
and here we go again! Looking forward to seeing our @portsmouthuni PGCE Primary trainees teaching today and their great mentors at the St Francis and St Blasius schools @DCAT211

We need to talk about recruitment to primary ITT. This year so far numbers are down 19% on the same time last year 😱
Last year primary did not meet its recruitment target, and is on track to reach around 75% of last year's target by year end

🚨Recruitment to primary initial teacher training courses have fallen by almost a fifth year-on-year in what expert @JackWorthNFER has called a “worrying” trend...
In April 2023, there were 6,527 “placed” ITT applicants on primary courses, down from 8,100 in April 2022.
Just been to see one of our @UoPEDSOC trainee teachers at @KANParade Very grateful for all the help and support the school's given them, so glad to be able to help them with a 3D printer to support their children's STEM learning!
#Horzonslive have you heard of the citizen science project that will allow members of the public to participate in searching for gravitational-waves, #GOTOzoo images. port.ac.uk/news-events-and-b…
Very proud of our first PGCE primary graduates who are having a week deserved break before heading off to some lucky schools.
Back in Portsmouth after visiting a trainee @lanesendprimary and meeting some fabulous Y1 teachers and their classes

If you want a good podcast about #hacking stories, listen to @DarknetDiaries.
Hello #edutwitter looking for some recommendations to share with our PGCE students (Primary, Secondary and FE) to follow on Twitter, and maybe add to my own list too!

An example of the liking-learning gap: what students like is not what they learn from.
Students like graphics on slides, but seductive graphics (interesting but not relevant) hurt long-term recall in online courses, while more boring instructive, directly relevant graphics help.

I'm very dubious about this thing of inspectors quizzing children on what they can remember. It's hardly likely to be an accurate measure of either memory or curriculum for a stranger to put a child on the spot. @Ofstednews
