Obviously the first point is stupid, but schools are already doing the rest.

Interesting interaction with a student. Had our standard 5 min chat while they were in detention. They accepted they had been rude in the lesson and deserved detention but also asked me to sit to help or correct rather than stand as they felt hemmed in. I did today and they were much calmer.

Easter holidays at last. Exhausted doesn't cover it.

Outstanding blog. Detailed explanation of why so many of the trainees I've met with excellent academic credentials struggle to explain complex/abstract material. They don't know what the students should already know or what they need next.

AI is bad for the environment, bad for our process of thinking and working and also ethically bad.

This is a deeply painful read but every teacher (or government) that thinks AI can solve all of our problems should read this and then read it again.

This is one of the most important messages to all schools. Improving schools is hard and takes a long time, but even schools that aren't in poor shape can quickly decline without consistency.

'This binary, combative response has grown tiresome. While pay erosion is a pressing issue, the challenges we face demand a more nuanced approach'

The binary response to the pay award isn't helping schools

We deserve better representation than this short-termist, rehearsed and poorly considered response to government decisions

With this sort of document being a very real possibility in my near future I also have concerns about the EHCP process. Lots of really well meaning people in these processes but I've read a few reports that seem to describe a completely different child to the one I recognise from my class.

From a thread about getting AI to plan lessons. . .

We do this through compassionate consistency. Kids need a framework of boundaries to hang that self-regulation and discipline from. Expecting one to magically develop without any perceivable rules and consequences is a mistake!

@mrmountstevens.bsky.social has already made a lot of comments regarding this suggested inspection framework. This blog goes into a lot more detail about the potential pitfall of trying to judge the quality of teaching as a stand alone category.

So, first post on Blue sky. It's genuinely like "the other app" when I first started using it. What a crying shame it's headed to a place that so many of us won't go to. Still, lovely to see you all here too. . .
