When leaders focus on helping staff and pupils to flourish, everyone benefits. Evidence shows it’s not a trade-off with outcomes, but a catalyst for improvement, says @Ambition_Inst Hilary Spencer. Read more: https://t.co/NUEliTXR2B

As someone with a long-standing interest in the gender pay gap, this is encouraging news and we should celebrate the progress.
The government’s proposal to introduce ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting will add another dimension of data and understanding to the picture.

If you are short of time, here are the key takeaways >>

[Hilary Spencer @h_spencer]

Really pleased to have published this report today - schools are working hard to rise to the challenges of inclusion. But there is more to do to make sure schools and teachers are supported well to do this, and make sure every child can achieve their potential.

‘It is the professional environment teachers are embedded in that is critical to their development and flourishing’. In this fantastic report, @hamer_marie and @LoicMnzs explore what the possible architecture of this environment could be - superb!

[Hilary Spencer @h_spencer]

We’re very pleased to have published this report today with @IPPR - drawing on valuable conversations with many people to shape the recommendations.

We hope this is a useful contribution to the debate about how we support and invest in teachers and leaders across the sector.

[Loic Menzies @LoicMnzs]

Great piece from @Eleanor_Busby in the @Independent about today’s @IPPR @Ambition_Inst report “A System that Empowers” on the future of teacher professional development https://t.co/BdzfjHBFv5

[Hilary Spencer @h_spencer]

High quality professional development is the most cost-effective and sustainable way to improve outcomes for children, and support our teachers and leaders.

Schools are under pressure, and government investment in the workforce is crucial.

“Improving teacher quality will boost maths outcomes, so effective teacher training and professional development to upskill teachers is critical.”

@GrattanInst report highlights the importance of evidence-informed teaching in the context of primary maths education in Australia.

Pleased to be launching Inclusion in Practice this weekend with the Inclusion EAG, in partnership with @Ambition_Inst @CSTvoice & a no. of partners.

We're keen to focus on solutions, and to build a national resource to help form a shared understanding of what success looks like.

[Hilary Spencer @h_spencer]

The Inclusion in Practice initiative has just launched!

Teachers, school leaders, and educators can submit your examples of successful inclusion in mainstream education, particularly for children with special educational needs and disabilities.

I know how much careful thought @BagshawMc_Ed has put into this publication. It's well worth your time with a great mix of research, case studies and underlying principles for effective leadership of reading. 📚🤔

[Hannah Martin @HMartinEdu]

I know how hard @nickpointer_ and others @Ambition_Inst have been thinking about this challenge and opportunity. I highly recommend Nick's thread and getting involved in important work on pupil engagement and belonging.

[Nick Pointer @nickpointer_]

Pupil engagement and belonging in schools – a thread and exciting opportunity...

Do you feel like something is missing from your pupils' experience of school? You're not alone.
