Pleased to see Emma Hollis of NASBTT calling for bursaries for all #ITT beginning teachers in yesterday's @tesmagazine.bsky.social

"If teaching is important to society (as surely it must be), then why should we ask trainees to take on debt in order to be able to do it?"

WE AGREE!
@htenuk.bsky.social recently wrote to SoS at DfE requesting reinstatement of bursaries for beginning #ITT #historyteacher & #primaryteacher s to remove barriers to access & relieve hardship in training. Join us in raising this issue with your MP - support can be found on our website www.hten.org.uk

Well I finally pushed the button. Now I have 6 months to tighten up my research plans to explore curriculum making of IT educators in planning for climate change and sustainability in ITE 😬

What are the routes to delivering Labour's pledge to 'recruit 6,500 new teachers'?

Our new analysis out today gives our view on the options available to policymakers

In sum: 6,500 is not trivial to achieve & requires a combination of new policies to deliver

Excited to be at the start of a new project exploring how to talk about #controversial & #divisive issues by co-constructing lessons with young people. This was just the opening list of suggested topics in a consultation with 12-16 year olds. It’s going to be a fascinating #citizenship #pshe project

A little project I've been working on recently required some wider reading - many a extract was borrowed from this.

The section on the poverty line was such an inspiration for one of my #geographyteacher lessons created🙏🏽
