Love this. Good breakdown of the mindblowing cost of meetings too.

@solomon_teach God that’s depressing. Not a single one of those made me feel like they understand the issues facing education. I was hoping this was typical of their general policy pledges.

@MichaelT1979 @adamdsouza @solomon_teach Quality mortgage advice is also free. I’ve done it 3 times now with a financial services company and never had an issue, despite not really being an expert in any sense of the word.

@solomon_teach Likewise. Also the notion that these are self contained “skills”. Mortgage products will change over the next 50yrs. Being able to read, write and understand percentages is for ever.
Agreed. A mindbogglingly difficult year group to teach.

@solomon_teach Oh what a relief to read this. Will make all the difference…
@solomon_teach Yep, remember that. It was a time of massive shift. PPA, role of TA, Performance management and observations were key issues too.
Ofsted exhibiting a deep lack of understanding of human behaviour.
OFSTED might not, but…
@solomon_teach Yeah the creation of HLTAs went along with the allocation of statutory PPA and the NUT was against as it scuppered the principle of a qualified teacher in every class. The other unions took the deal. Led to cover supervisors etc
Isn't Twitter supposed to be dead by now? How's Mastodon going? 😂
Instruction coaching (at primary) should be both generic and subject specific. We cannot and should not expect primary teachers to master the disciplinary intricacies of the 11 subjects that they are expected to teach. But there are some high leverage, subject specific levers…
@solomon_teach @miss_mcinerney Strange how my high achieving secondary school told me nothing of mortgages in the 1980s, yet I was perfectly capable of arranging one, albeit in 1994. So many things schoolchildren need to know; this ain't one of them.
@solomon_teach I went to a boys' grammar school. It had lathes, a forge and a specialist technical drawing room. Came back to it as a teacher when it had become a mixed comp. So, for the less highly academic nature of the place now, guess what *wasn't* there any more?
@solomon_teach I found my good general education fine for coping with all of these "life skills". I worry about what I'd have missed out on in History, Geography or other subjects if they'd tried to cram in "filling in a form".
@PhilipA_LD @solomon_teach Including a former prime minister!
@solomon_teach @miss_mcinerney As a financial journalist in my day job, I would say: make sure every child has a *really* strong grasp of percentages. That's the basis for understanding so much of consumer finance, but it's disappointing to see how many struggle with it, including non-Stem uni graduates.
“If we send coaches into coaching conversations in schools where the culture is not right, then they are on a highway to nothing.” Absolutely 👌🏼 @MrStoneEnglish #rEDCymru
@solomon_teach They’re taught personal finance in pse. This is someone not understanding the national curriculum.
This kind of planned out CPD focusing on the school development priorities is a dream 😍 None of this willy nilly jumping around without a carefully thought out plan. @lwilliamsjones #rEDCymru
@solomon_teach It’s almost as if no one learns anything except in school.
@solomon_teach But the people choosing the curriculum don't understand how the general population get by. If a fence panel blows down, call a trades person. Cooking? Chefs in restaurants do that for you. But Little Rupert needs to know how to invest his trust fund properly when he's 18, surely.
Great reminder that the purpose of a school curriculum isn't to teach children every bit of knowledge they may possibly need at some distant point in their adult lives. It is possible to learn things after school!
🧵This makes me queasy & teachers should resist further bloating of a curriculum at bursting point. Applying for a mortgage is not a ‘life skill’, it’s something you’ll do probably 2-3 times in your entire life. Yes it’s stressful, but it has never held anyone back from doing it
