A really nice way to start the school year recognising the hard yards of all staff.
1/ INSET Thanks
So we always introduce new staff during INSET. @mr-os.bsky.social suggested we do something different, inspired by a post from @vicgoddard.bsky.social a few months ago.
The post hit a nerve with many and no doubt prodded lots of reflection.

Forgot to get suits dry cleaned. Lucky that I used the blue light card discount on suits. BUT… now I have to be the guy in new suit on Inset… there is always one 🤷🏻♂️

Lots of talk about target grades, but I think the conversation is more broadly about data.
Imagine a school without any “data”. No achievement, attendance, or behaviour data.
I think you would find a school with a whole lot of variance, persistent absences, and kids losing out on education.

My job title is AHT for standards, assessment and outcomes and a lot of what I do is data based. However, I do a lot of work with subjects on their curriculum and what their assessments tell them, not what it tells me if that makes sense?!

I think these conversations are important to have. My timetabler biases kick in but would like to see more posts about what others do. Particularly around PAN 300.

The AI Ate My Homework – A Fortuitous Opportunity to Fix the Timetable?

Has anyone come across a Secondary “timeline” (probably the wrong term) yet?
For primary colleagues coming to BlueSky, I've started to compile a list of primary expertise (focused on those with posts already)
