A UK school was blackmailed last year with Al-generated images of its pupils. I’m sure like many others schools you’ll be having discussions about whether you should be sharing images online. But the question we should be asking is why we always hand the workload to the people

Looks like section 28 is on its way back. #schools #education

@tony49 @Julespg @abbyaug Please can you link some research around this? I'm very interested to know what they say, and whether particular behaviours are linked to specific emotional health needs

@_MissieBee I think it might be that if there is nothing, SLT still ask why this work hasn't been looked at/acknowledged in any way?

An alarming 18,484 (92%) of schools, both primary and secondary, will be unable to cope with cost increases in 2024/25 without making cuts to education provision – @SchoolCuts analysis.

Schools will have to make cuts to staffing or other provision to cope with cost increases.

Please email your MP and ask them to tell Government to #InvestInEducation at Wednesday’s Autumn Statement.👉 https://t.co/ZT60AHpV7Q

Exams are the fairest way to assess students. All other methods increase bias, and advantage for advantaged children. It amazes me that people who purport to care about disadvantage still champion these methods.

[Sheffield Teacher @SheffieldTeach3]

@miconm So the judgement is effectively to sentence that poor lady to a public naming and shaming? I wonder what would happen if a teacher was reported for such unethical behaviour.

[Christopher Such @Suchmo83]

It's the summer holidays, which means I have two books to give away.

Shocking but sadly not surprising to hear this.

@berniewestacott This is what I noticed too. It's a bug bear of mine that many children make it all the way through primary school without ever learning about the big ideas underpinning different content areas. Such a big oversight in the national curriculum!

@smithsmm For a director of research Head of Education, this guy seems pretty clueless about education. Maybe the gap between research and reality is widest at the top?

[Simon Smith @smithsmm]

Why are the @BBCNews allowing @GillianKeegan to lie about the payrise being funded?

If the news had been that it was funded last night then many staff may have thought twice.

The £2.3 billion is not funding for this payrise, please don’t lie.

Would really benefit my maths group 🙏🏻

[Sheffield Teacher @SheffieldTeach3]

@tombennett71 We talk about this in the staffroom often. The real magic is happening in schools where children with little social capital achieve excellent outcomes. Imagine if they were the model for educational excellence!
