@dawnhallybone We use to have a mini Tm style sharing session at 20:07 the beginning of staff meetings - was really useful! #ukedchat @ukedchat @philallman1 May I say that I feel in general head 20:07 teachers lay low with LA's and #govt so they don't get in trouble. #ukedchat striking re pensions is one thing... getting our 20:07 professional ideas across re policy issues is quite another... @dawnhallybone and not just own school - that's the power of e.g. 20:07 teachmeets #ukedchat This debate could get messy- politically charged, socially heated 20:07 topic... let's start 2012 as we mean to go on! #ukedchat It's easy to broadcast by telling every1 what an expert you are; better to show through your own efforts; others'll follow 20:07 #ukedchat @tim7168 the opposite will happen, teachers forced off national 20:07 contracts, or not requiring quals to work in free schools. #ukedchat RT @dawnhallybone: Sharing prac with own school community 20:07 promoting positive and involving all #ukedchat < great idea!

Isn't it time for a different approach? 20:08 How do we facilitate learning in school - can you try this method? Teachers views have not been heeded by politicians for 30 odd 20:08 years. We probably need a new breed of politician... #ukedchat @TheHeadsOffice @jamesdhobsonuk there seems to be too many diff unions, waters down the views and opinions of us as profs 20:08 #ukedchat RT @68ron: @philallman1 #ukedchat I'd tell them to stop using 20:08 education as a political football < how do we do this positively?

Many thanks to @philallman1 for hosting this #ukedchat 21:00 session & @bevevans22 @TheHeadsOffice for supporting Another fast and furious #ukedchat is over for another week. Well 21:01 done to @philallman1 for hosting :) @mattpearson #ukedchat There's so much I'd like to do... Totally 21:01 agree. All those bits of the school that don't quite work, resolved we need a national body to inform policy making based on 21:01 research and evidence, A bit like NICE for the teaching... #ukedchat @mattpearson @Bectully Top idea. Backdated that means I'm due 21:01 7/8 terms sabbatical. Let's call it 2 years. I'm not greedy! #ukedchat 21:01 And now with the right tag... #ukedchat http://t.co/uhowdnr2 RT @Reesiepie: Education will be political football while politicians are in charge.
