@Carter6D 2/2 Greater classroom focus, pay and status but without all the admin that inevitably goes with Headship.

[TeacherTalks @TeacherTalks]

@Carter6D 1/2 Headship is about learning and leading it, but your progressio led one way. Wld like to see role such as 'expert teacher.'

Asking 'how was school today?' makes more difference to performance than parental income. @SchleicherEDU at #futureofitt

[TeacherTalks @TeacherTalks]

Why do you need structural change (i.e. Academisation) to evaluate what you stand for? #futureofitt

[TeacherTalks @TeacherTalks]

Interesting that David Carter sees teacher prof development as culminating in headship i.e. leaving the classroom! #futureofitt

@bentleykarl something we as teachers need to define. We need to get stuck in to debate not just say 'we're not lawyers, get over it!'

[TeacherTalks @TeacherTalks]

@bentleykarl of course, but good education needs good teachers, and professional status is a part of this #futureofitt

[TeacherTalks @TeacherTalks]

Rt @checkersgal: Fifth of 5 male commentators today #FutureOfITT > good point @RoehamptonEdu take note!

[TeacherTalks @TeacherTalks]

@bentleykarl But there's a lag in prof status between teachers and lawyers etc, legitimate to compare in order to catch up #futureofitt

[TeacherTalks @TeacherTalks]

@bentleykarl Yes. And your point is?

[TeacherTalks @TeacherTalks]

Chris Husbands 'Heads think in terms of supply of teachers, not quality' #futureofitt How about both - a supply of quality teachers!?

[Ben Durbin @benpdurbin]

The key factor in education is not quality of teachers, it's quality teaching @Director_IOE #futureofitt
