With schools operating in a difficult environment for recruitment and retention, it is so important to do appraisals well. This article from Kathryn Morgan and our CEO, Gareth Conyard, explores a better way forward.
Why it’s time to scrap punitive teacher appraisals
As the sector moves on from performance-related pay, schools need performance management systems that focus more on meaningful professional growth than on compliance and control

What a great post for science teachers to use.
Excellent video on whether retinol is a scam — there are only few low quality RCTs, why would one still believe in it? — and it’s so good, talking about various incentives and the role of mechanistic knowledge. I’ll have to think about how to fit this into teaching!>

And it obscures the real scandal - which is the totally inadequate child services support for kids post exclusion, the disaster of CAMHS, and the shocking lack of AP places (and in many places AP quality). Schools have a right to exclude - but excluded kids still have a right to an education.
