🚨New podcast alert: HAVE YOU GOT 5 MINUTES? 🚨 And we’re kicking off with an exciting series: ‘Duties We Have When Shaping Young Minds’ If you have a bright idea relating to this/want to spark a conversation on our podcast, dm us! We want to hear from a range of voices!
How can we ensure that the unreported lives, the silenced stories, the extraordinary in the ordinary, the lives in our #students’ #communities, fully occupy what is taught and learnt in our #classrooms? Do we have a duty to find those stories? #education #edutwitter

Do we have a duty to establish active, practical connection between what happens in the classroom and the ‘real’ world beyond its walls? #teaching #teachertwitter #edutwitter #education

@mcps54 asks: ‘Do we help our students understand and analyse the processes that lead decisions to be made about what is on our school curriculum and the ‘curricula’ of the wider world?’

Should we be enabling our students to have agency by taking them into real experiences where they can actually make a difference?
Thinking about duties we have when shaping young minds, we must ask ourselves: Do we have a duty to establish active, practical connection between what happens in the classroom and the ‘real’ world beyond its walls? #edutwitter #teachertwitter #edchat @TF_Ambassadors

Curriculum, quality first teaching, behaviour, leadership, staffing, relationships. Just doing one of these well won’t make a great school. Just doing one of them poorly, however, can bring the whole thing crashing down.

Is this possible? What would need to happen for this to become a reality?
NEW: Private education would become "redundant" under a Labour government by improving the life chances of all state school pupils, the shadow secretary of state for child poverty @wesstreeting said today #Lab21 tes.com/news/private-educati… - me via @tes

In the absence of this, what about state and independent working together? There’s a fair bit of this happening.. but not enough. Would love for people to share their experiences of such collaborations #edutwitter @edvainker @Eton_College RT!
