"Does anyone have an attendance policy they can share?"

A question we got asked inside the We Are In Beta community

So we did some research.

What we found was fascinating.

RT this and I'll send you a link to the findings.

This excellent article by @SophyRidgeSky accurately highlights the challenges facing our school system.

@amymayforrester I’d love to see school plans on this compared with % of PP student, bet there would be a correlation @TeacherTapp ?

If the govt really wanted to close any gaps caused by the pandemic they’d invest in CAHMS and social services, not waste money on the NTP. Swamped NHS mental health services turning away children, say GPs https://t.co/IbqorLr0xQ

@barton_jess @maternityCPD Also could try first thing in the morning just as they are waking and it’s still dark! Good luck!

@Fifijane83 He was 6 months I think, think they were medela bottles - few years ago now so can’t completely remember but feel your pain as was losing the will to live!

@taranijago @teacherhead @Strickomaster Defo coaching! Let’s chat! Hope your week has gone well so far!

[Stephen Tierney FRSA FCCT @LeadingLearner]

Just a thought.
What about if all schools agree to rename their CAGs as "mock grades". Less than a perfect solution but better than what DfE are proposing.
It's a school-led system (apparently) so let's lead.

@MissCHMaths Yep sounds spot on and what we are doing also, but how much movement will the teacher and LSA then have around the room? Or are they not?

[Rachel Dooley @dooleysciteach]

#edutwitter #education #sltchat quick question for schools next year, please RT. How are you managing staff movement around the classroom? What are the rules? Especially classrooms with LSAs in, how will this support work? #SEN #WomenEd

Oh no- UK has opted out of EU coronavirus vaccine programme, sources say https://t.co/QcBq6BvYka

[Rachel Dooley @dooleysciteach]

Absolutely - summed up perfectly!

[Rachel Dooley @dooleysciteach]

@taranijago Does this mean we can go and ‘do some research’ again?!

[Rachel Dooley @dooleysciteach]

@taranijago @maternityCPD @WomenEd Yes!!!!
