Steve Clarke @stevie-c.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Bridget Phillipson starts by asking teachers to 'step up again'. I don't think teachers ever stepped down. To step up further requires more resource, more teachers, more CPD. Programmes to support teacher training have been cut. It simply doesn't add up. #ASCL2025 030
