[The Thinking School @Thinkingschool2]

In the next five years, we will see large numbers of teachers leave, and not many willing to enter the profession.

Unless things change dramatically . . And quickly.

[Headingsomewhere @Headingsomewhe1]

Anyone else feeling overwhelmed by the amount of need in school? Totally & utterly relentless with such a paucity of available support. Kids arriving needing 1:1 & bespoke support, punching, kicking, raging. Complex issues. Exhausting & no sign of change looking down the tracks…

[The Thinking School @Thinkingschool2]

Why do we make it so hard for new teachers to succeed?

In other professions they accept newbies have loads still to learn.

@T_Hobson exactly what you were saying in the meeting yesterday!!

[The Thinking School @Thinkingschool2]

If you trust and empower your teachers, and involve them in decision-making at a whole school level. . .you may just be surprised at what your school can achieve.

[The Thinking School @Thinkingschool2]

Staff wellbeing has less to do with treats in staffroom.

And more to do with being respected, listened to, included and valued.

We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. They get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests except for PISA in HS and they outperform us every time. When we can’t give students more recess, physical activity & Arts then we don’t understand education.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Just because some teachers would rather stay in the classroom than go into administration doesn’t mean they aren’t leaders. Many have amazing talents which can benefit a school.Good leaders value them as experts and help maximize their talents and potential.

[Teacher's Manual @UnofficialOA]

I don’t know which teacher with an open laptop needs to hear this, but come in early tomorrow and do it then instead.

🧵1/11. The reason we wear a poppy; 🌺

On November 7th, 1920, in strictest secrecy, four unidentified British bodies were exhumed from temporary battlefield cemeteries at Ypres, Arras, the Aisne and the Somme.

None of the soldiers who did the digging were told why.

[The Behaviour Headteacher @BehaviourHead]

Teacher wellbeing is the key to school success. There are direct links between staff wellbeing and school performance. How teachers feel on a daily basis will affect their performance and, so in turn, the performance of the pupils they teach. Look after each other

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

Do you agree?

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

WHY ARE TEACHERS LEAVING THE PROFESSION?

•Inadequate preparation for new teachers

•Lack of support

•Class sizes

•They are worked to the bone

•Low salaries

•Little to no recognition

•Their time isn’t respected

•Better opportunities elsewhere

MUST DO BETTER #EdChat
