Today I met the King and the Prime Minister ... So what would you say to the King and Prime Minister (and Home Secretary and Culture Secretary and Idris Elba!) if asked what needs to happen to prevent knife crime? (1/5)

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

[Cath Murray @CathMurray_]

"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

[Ed Dorrell @Ed_Dorrell]

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

I love this idea of making schools "life-friendly" places to make for a healthy workforce 🧘🏻‍♀️🤱🏾🚴🏽‍♂️🏄🏻‍♂️

"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

@MissEmmaLark 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

Fabulous @Ambition_Inst colleagues @MissEmmaLark and @MMinton10 smashing it to a packed room at 9:30 after a long post-election night! 🙌

What the evidence says about how to motivate pupils 👇🤓

#EducationFest

[Cath Murray @CathMurray_]

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"

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.

[Ambition Institute @Ambition_Inst]

@nmgilbride What an inspiring day it’s been! 💡

We are back tomorrow with great sessions from @MissEmmaLark, @MMinton10, @SinghAmarbeerG, @CarlyWaterman21, @CWElliot and @CathMurray_. Join us for discussions on everything from maximising pupils to whole school improvement.

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

[Cath Murray @CathMurray_]

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: https://t.co/Z0KVq43CZC (Pls RT 🧵)

@ipryce @CatScutt Agreed. This graph shows averages - I'm sure individuals can buck the trend (although it's no doubt harder!)

[Cath Murray @CathMurray_]

"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
