This reflects on the importance of teacher professionalism, and how trusts can help it to flourish. ‘Teachers who feel a sense of agency over their practice and their learning are more likely to stay in the profession.’ (Peacock, 2023) @alisonpeacock.bsky.social @collegeofteaching.bsky.social

Agree @tobygreany.bsky.social Great article. @lizrobinson.bsky.social and Nicola Noble are surely right that we need to re-imagine #systemleadership. Strong parallels to @leoracruddas.bsky.social CST work on civic leadership. So we need to consider how the system enables the leadership they describe
