This sounds so simple, but what happens when those views are completely unrelated to my academic work? Do I have some special rights to be offensive in the workplace because I'm an academic?
The people leading this agenda are just completely unserious.

Latest ITT statistics are somewhat positive, with most secondary subjects - especially shortage ones - recruiting better than last year. Primary down a smidge, English down due to bursary cut
But majority still likely to be below target (this is last year's targets: new actuals out next month)

There's a huge unanswered Q about what's happened in school/society. "Pandemic" or "Gove" or "child poverty" are the common answers but none are entirely satisfactory.

In light of @edupolicyinst.bsky.social report on unauthorised absence today, I wanted to share some reflections from my perspective as former head, school governor, and from working alongside school leaders. The data tells a clear story, but as the report suggests the solution isn't straightforward

Wonderful profile of Surrey Square part of the @bigeducation.bsky.social family. Particularly love their take on 'joy time' that's not earned or lost, but fundamental for all. Definitely something I'd do differently if I was back in headship. #edusky #joytime

You never really forget your first style guide. No matter how many years pass, its rules on caps will always seem natural to you and any deviation from them a kind of biblical perversion.

A key thing our new data dashboard highlights is the teacher supply plight of schools with the most pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. And the gaps have grown wider as the supply challenge has deepened.

My genuinely favourite thing of the season is #duvetknowitschristmas
1/ So, where were we? Oh yep, #duvetknowitschristmas. Firstly, some admin: Twitter/X has evidently been run into the ground by a preening, self-radicalised clot, so while there's a slim possibility that this annual celebration might be thriving over there, I won't know cos I won't be looking.
