The world of education has lost one of the most authentic and generous scholars of our generation. ‘JWB’ as
@PDST_leadership
fondly called him was instrumental in guiding the
@PDSTie
Forbairt programme and was a loyal champion of our work. John my friend you were the real deal.
Very sadly we must report the death of co-author John West-Burnham. Through his writing, speaking, thought & wisdom, his contribution to nurturing a broader, more humane vision of education, & the leadership needed for that to thrive, was immense & will be sorely missed. RIP John

Thank you Denise. If teachers are expected to embrace the changes introduced by policy then the accompanying CPD must be fit for purpose . The evidence here and abroad is clear. CPD is a process not an event.

Absolutely Wonderful symposium. “What’s good for some is good for all”

. “The Inclusion Turn” Inclusion as a process rather than a policy.

That is the intention of secondment. But our experience and my findings(supported by several others
@annelodge1
) show that a significant number do not return to school and take up positions elsewhere in the system.
@growteachers
@ciaraconsult
There must be a benefit to the wider school community where teachers return to the classroom following secondment. Building teacher capacity and professional practices institute.
