Thanks all. Really interesting viewing. You may be interested in this blow I wrote (nearly 2 years ago) - resonates with a lot of Sam's talk and the links between IC and teacher agency https://t.co/00w5LfbD5X

Concise and insightful thread which sums up how schools too often get this wrong, and urges the profession to embrace the messy uncertainty of teaching.

What is your school's professional development communicating to teachers? 🧵

“Coaching is as much about developing people as it is about developing pedagogy” This blog from ⁦@Sam_LGibbs⁩ is essential reading for educators seeking to see beyond the hype of coaching in schools. https://t.co/4aJiXcGhpz

@mrjamesob Check out the work of @voice21oracy and @theESU working to bring oracy and public speaking skills to state school students around the country

@engteacherabro2 @Team_English1 I had some time as Director of Education at the ESU. Plenty of free resources on their website.

Britain needs a cultural reboot. Here’s my five-point plan to fix the arts - Nicholas Serota https://t.co/0Nz1pYKdtq

Really interesting conversation. For me big theme that emerged (and to borrow a phrase I picked up this am) was ruthless prioritisation (at whole-school & more granular levels) is vital for CPD to be effective.

[Dr Cat Scutt MBE @CatScutt]

Are conferences and courses out, and coaching and collaboration in? Looking forward to chairing a panel discussing whether ‘traditional’ approaches to CPD are a waste of time at @EducationFest next week, with the brilliant @engteacherabro2, @adamboxer1, @YalinieV and @jenjen1985

Toby Salt sharing Daniel Pink’s research that the least productive time to hold a meeting is 1500-1700. Mmmmmm #educationfest

[Duncan Partridge @educe_coaching]

Toby Salt’s tips for avoiding burnout and thriving in leadership. Which do you think is the most important? #educationfest

Change is coming in New York State ! Districts can now forge a better path to partner with teachers to advance student success. Moving from a 20 minute unannounced observation to a real dialogue on improvement is possible ! Contact me for a pathway to a better tomorrow.

[Duncan Partridge @educe_coaching]

⁦@teacherhead⁩ : without exception, no school I’ve been in that has decided to drop formal lesson observation, has later regretted it. My own experience is absolutely in line with this. #educationfest

[Duncan Partridge @educe_coaching]

Ben Levinson speaking a lot of sense - a vital element in building successful school cultures is ‘ruthless’ prioritisarion. #educationfest

[Duncan Partridge @educe_coaching]

@mcunners is sharing research which suggests there is an explicit link between student attainment and positive culture. #educationfest

[Duncan Partridge @educe_coaching]

⁦@informed_edu⁩ : AI as workload reduction tool - limited potential. #educationfest

[Duncan Partridge @educe_coaching]

⁦@informed_edu⁩ - AI for teacher learning - promise for rehearsal of pedagogy #educationfest

[Duncan Partridge @educe_coaching]

⁦@informed_edu⁩ - AI for teacher feedback - some interesting developments but still too superficial #educationfest

[Duncan Partridge @educe_coaching]

@informed_edu : key to using AI in education - is it providing a short cut or is it short circuiting - is it a tool that enables us to think hard(er)? #educationfest

[Duncan Partridge @educe_coaching]

⁦@informed_edu⁩ : we can’t afford to overlook the fact that teachers can’t/won’t change habits/improve if they are stressed. #educationfest
