We are lacking in freedom in our profession at this moment in time. This is stifling ideas, individuality, intellect & creativity. Those of us in relatively free working environments have a duty to remind everyone what is possible.

So much to consider on the impacts of high teacher turnover - filling posts is not the same creating a sustainable, mature, informed, confident, diverse profession.

Clickbait headline aside, this perfectly illustrates the change in focus needed the teaching of reading. Phonics is important, but within a balanced approach based on meaning with reading & writing for purpose and pleasure at the heart. theconversation.com/phonics-isnt-w… via The Conversation
