Just read the new @suttontrust report on policy reforms over the last few decades and this one graph really jumps out at me.

Which in turn increases the pressure on untrained school staff who are left to pick up the pieces." suttontrust.com/our-research…

The Little Book of #GenerativeAI prompts for teachers Here it is, a compilation of my recent one-pagers with prompts for different subjects across the curriculum, global in outlook with helpful pointers for UK curricula too. The book includes prompts for most subjects and additionally has sections on bias, ethics, prompt design, and a section of useful resources from the likes of @OfficeofEdTech @educationgovuk @AlKingsley_Edu @TeacherDevTrust @ISTEofficial @rarthurtweets @asklauraknight @educationweek and more.

🧵 New teachers! Prepare for teaching this term by knowing: ▪️Retrieval isn’t repetitive if you are a novice- as long as it’s useful, of course ▪️explanations are at their most beautiful without waffle - and that’s hard when you’re a subject expert

I am very pleased to be part of a research project today on teacher workload by the brilliant @thinkarda. I can't wait to see the findings in his write-up. As we found out today, we have similar roles in education.

Policies and procedures needed to be reviewed massively in some cases as these as out of date and add to workload. Short term is looking at needs vs wants. What aspects are most important and which are ‘would likes’. Strip it back and streamline workload
