fascinating to compare curriculum reform in wales with that currently being explored in england... '...we are committed to an approach of “evolution not revolution”.' think it's fair to say that we in wales chose the latter. wonder if we'd do so again, if given the chance 🤔

the third such report - centred on teacher recruitment & retention - in the past 6 months alone. this one has been some years in the making - and doubtless expensive given those involved. struggling to see what it tells us that others don't... need action, not [lots of] words

news in today's dysg - the much vaunted 'national behaviour summit' takes place next week... but you can only go if you've been invited* 🤦‍♂️ *would love to know the selection criteria

kudos to the winners, but there is a difference between an award-winning project and a research symposium *about a project* that has won an award... a reminder that while 'dysg' provides busy educators a useful update on *some* developments, it's essentially low-level propaganda

Practitioner enquiry encourages innovation and leads to better decisions, says Gareth Evans – he is making the case for ‘enquiry coordinators’ to make enquiry 'more visible within school staffing structures' tes.com/magazine/analy…

i do hope all of my teacher friends found time in the last week of term to help develop the name, brand and identity for wales' new PL body...!! i don't suppose anyone really cares what it's called or how it looks - they just want it to work and work well for all. priorities!

not sure who instigated this (govt or beeb), but i like it - timely reminder of very significant and consequential issue. vital to get such messages across when they are most likely to land

grateful to the Cymmrodorion for the invitation to publish in 'transactions' - a written version of my talk on education in devolved wales. another couple of discussion papers in the pipeline, one specific to the new curriculum. watch this space!

great to read such positive testimonies (full evaluation next?) & i really do wish this group well. but having asked for such a thing for several years - and been roundly dismissed at every turn - one can’t help feeling a tad frustrated that we have only now arrived at this point

good to hear that work to develop the 'Strategic Education Workforce Plan' is progressing, 11 months to the day since it was first announced. fingers crossed whoever ends up leading our next welsh govt is minded to use it, or it'll end up being a colossal waste of time and money
