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.

"In heterosexual couples, when men take an extended period of leave in the first year of their child’s life, it is good for women’s careers. It’s also good for the outcomes of the child, for the parents’ relationship & for men’s wellbeing." Emma Sheppard schoolsweek.co.uk/parental-lea...
Maternity leave improvements alone don't fully support women
Improving schools' maternity offer may help retention in the short term - but a key ingredient is missing

So good to see this kind of blog! In 2015, when EMC set up an unfunded research project, 'It's Good to Talk', there was a lot of negativity about talk, despite the fact that any teachers who saw the findings & classroom filming were v enthusiastic. I'm delighted that the climate has now changed. 1

Why has there been a tendency to privilege writing over speaking & listening?

Amen. The idea that school should teach adult life admin is the bleakest, drabbest view of education
I also get really bothered with the "teach them taxes"...
No. We don't have a US system where you file your own taxes until you earn a significant amount. By which time you basically hire an accountant.
Stop doing click bait headline things - focus on good disciplinary knowledge!

Who's interested? Let's see what the numbers would look like? Can't keep research out of God's own country
Why there isn't a ResearchEd Yorkshire is absolutely baffling. I know it's a massive undertaking but I'd definitely chip in with the organising.
