Our trainees had a session with Royal Ballet and Opera this week to learn about the teaching of dance. The RBO practitioners were great and the trainees fully embraced the practical elements!

It's not too late to get into teaching. Many people change careers to become teachers. DFE data shows that about 40% of entrants to primary teacher training courses were aged over 30. And 15% were aged over 40.

Twitter now at 538 retweets versus 86 reposts on here, so #bluesky is still just in front as I have 10x the number of followers on Twitter as I do here.
I'm doing a little experiment by posting this on here and on Twitter simultaneously. (Please don't judge me, authors also need to earn money!) Currently #bluesky is easily winning on reposts/retweets in relation to my number of followers. 😊😘
I'm doing a free giveaway to celebrate the publication of my latest book! Like and repost to enter (UK only). Winner announced on Sunday. See the link below to find out more about the book. #freebie #giveaway

Thanks for this.
I'm hunting down every last one of you lovely ITE / ITT folk. I'm mainly relying on people's bios to determine who might want to be included here, so if I've missed you, let me know and I will update this list.

Reposts appreciated 👍
