Please, everyone involved in anything to do with schools:
Don't initiate policies without parents.
If your T&L policy doesn't mention parents - start again.
Don't treat parents like a separate species.
Don't just avoid but actively challenge deficit views of parents.... A thread

Do retention payments for early career teachers work? Jack Worth discusses new analysis of the impact early career retention payments (ECRPs) on teacher retention.

Do extra payments to in-service teachers in shortage subjects improve retention?

We thought our analysis might back up the fairly strong 'yes' from UK literature so far, but our findings were not as conclusive. In this blog I assess the findings and what they might mean for policy:

In one Scottish University, which is experiencing high profile collapse, Chair of Court was elected and chief of local council (local government) was on Court. Failed to scrutinise, be sufficiently curious, or hold senior triumvirate to account.
