#rED25 @nickpointer_ (excuse the rushed sketch!) expertly developed the argument behind the question
Is Consistency Killing Us? Super development of thinking.

[Kirsten Colquhoun (Col-hoon) @kirstcolquhoun]

@Josh_CPD See you at Session 7? 🤔

[Nick Pointer @nickpointer_]

Am I the only one who's looked back at the title for their ResearchEd National talk for this weekend and thought "oh cool, that session sounds interesting... I wonder what it's going to be about!" 😅

"Government should... provide a core backbone of qualifications... and then focus on building a flourishing ecosystem of high-quality PD, from which schools and teachers can choose freely."

Bold yet balanced pushes from @hamer_marie and @LoicMnzs in this really important report!

[Matt Hood @matthewhood]

It’s been a couple of years since @NPorter_ , founder of @unlockedgrads, called to ask why prisoners didn’t have access to Oak’s lessons.

A fair challenge, it spurred work with the brilliant digital team at @MoJGovUK to roll out our resources across youth & adult prison estates

[Cornwall Education Learning Trust @CeltAcademies]

Our next #InspiringSW conference is on 17 May - will you be joining us in Cornwall to learn more about AI in education?

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

MPs voted this week to scrap the tax breaks handed to private schools.

The money will instead go to supporting the 93% of kids who go to state schools.

Yet Reform MPs voted to keep this tax break for the privileged few.

Remember that when they pretend to be on your side.
