So excited about this partnership between @unlockedgrads and @Steplab_co! I really think introducing instructional coaching and evidence based pedagogy to ongoing prison officer training and development has the potential to be a complete game changer for the profession🥳.

RT @RSylvester1: It’s what happened to @unlockedgrads forcing them to end their graduate recruitment scheme for prisons .

I know lots of amazing people in education who wouldn’t have joined the sector without the Teach First offer. Any move that forces TF, one of the best known brands on campus, to use a new “neutral brand” controlled by the DfE on campus is completely nuts.

Excellent summary of the case for changing the threshold for jury trials. This is important stuff for us all and well worth a read 👇.

The lovely team at @redemptionroast didn’t just give me a delicious and much needed cup of coffee this morning, they also gave me these balloons from London Pride to share with the team at @unlockedgrads HQ 🏳️‍⚧️

Loved speaking at the @shiftukorg conference this morning. Mostly loved seeing so many great people in one space, and all thinking about children in or close to custody and how we can better care for them.

Education quiz dream team! .Sadly ROBBED by a number of not sufficiently educationy enough questions….Thanks for all the deep fried cheese though @ImpactEd_Group. And the collective smarts of @miss_mcinerney and @Samfr

RT @P_A_Kirschner: Thought for today from ⁦@dylanwiliam⁩

Thinking of all those spending all but 2 hours of today sharing 6 by 8 foot cell with a window that doesn't open and no air conditioning. Also thinking of all those staff who are working long shifts on incredibly hot prison landings looking after those in prison today.

Absolute masterclass by Prodigy on how Glastonbury should be done 🔥.Also, Olivia who??!

RT @charlie_taylor6: Our inspectors would agree.

Really loving this feedback from prisoners on the impact they’ve seen @unlockedgrads participants delivering!.

This ethos is so hard to maintain, because there are always reasons why all of us won’t learn, and sometimes it can feel like all of us can’t learn, but what this banner gives us is permission to believe, and that can be all that is needed for the impossible to become possible.

And finally the absolute belief in this. It WILL happen. Too often the more expert someone becomes in public services, the more barriers they see and understand, the more their expectations drop. This is such a brazen challenge to that.

Also central here is the idea that if one of us fail then we all fail. This puts responsibility on every member of the school community to support the rest. My success in learning depends on your success in learning. This creates clear collective responsibility for the mission.

Firstly the absolute clarity of mission. This is an institution for learning. Having a clear North Star creates a framework for all decisions and expectations to come through - it makes sure that purpose is embedded, not power.

Loved visiting @KSA_allthrough yesterday for the first time in a few years. I learnt so much about how to lead a truly disruptive organisation with excellence at its heart from my time there. This banner summarises so much of what I believe makes great schools great!

RT @tombennett71: researchED National Conference 2025, Sept 6th, London. New speakers announced every day this week. Next up: the amazing….

Such a lovely evening with Public First / Stonehaven celebrating the arrival of summer! Loved catching up with so many of the best people 🙌.Also V&A is just the best place for an evening of summer drinks 💕

Well, in current prison environments….
