💻 EdTech often promises to revolutionise classrooms... 🖥️

But the reality is more complicated 😖

So, in this new InnerTapp episode in collaboration with Teacher Tapp, we're exploring the gap between flashy edTech and what actually works in schools 👇

Bad weather = disrupted break times ☔

95% of primary teachers say pupils stay indoors in bad weather (so 5% still go out whatever the weather!)

56% say their school lacks basic wet-weather play features like shelter, indoor space, drying areas or shoe storage. In the most disadvantaged areas: 64%.

Why is only 10 percent of the population left-handed? - BBC Reel

About 10% of the population is left handed (www.bbc.co.uk/reel/video/p...) but among teachers, 11% are left-handed (when asked 'which hand do you write with'), and this rises to 14% among arts and DT teachers.

We last asked this question in 2022, but it is one we can re-ask soon!

Most teachers never get training on communicating with parents: 74% of classroom teachers, 65% of senior leaders.

Confidence shows it matters.

60% without training feel very confident phoning home vs 68% with training. Training could be a simple lever to pull.
