@keith_campion I don't think that it is. I think that if you're going to teach teachers that training for SEND is substantively different from excellent teaching, you inevitably compromise on what 'excellent' is. And providers are chasing the £200m.

I’m completely crestfallen by what I’ve seen of the training materials that are being developed for mandatory training. It’s like we are trying to make teachers worse.
Stuart Lock retweeted
@StuartLock Yup. Going to have to do lots of editing.
This was predictable but also for £200m I thought they’d make a better fist of it.
@adamboxer1 @jessegenet lol someone doesn’t know you
@ChrisHillidge @GuyEmma68700 Oh wait. Opinions are ok now? I wasn’t allowed them according to your last tweet.
If one’s government was going to announce a load of new key stage four qualifications to start very soon, one would hope one’s government would announce where the qualified teachers are coming from. And what’s happened to the curriculum review.
Stuart Lock retweeted
"Everyone has always prioritised knowledge" Meanwhile, I was on the group that tried to work out the way to assess these competencies rather than subjects.
@ChrisHillidge @GuyEmma68700 The weird effort to shut people down by saying that they cannot offer their opinion when it is literally only your opinion you offer is typical of why I call you an apologist.
@ChrisHillidge @GuyEmma68700 Eh? Of course it's my opinion. Else I wouldn't have written it. There has been a great deal of progress since the PLTS and the last effort at 14-19. We seem to be back there. I know you somehow think everything will magically be OK this time, but there is no evidence it will be.
We need to get the Wolf report out. It’s still relevant.
@GuyEmma68700 Chris has been an apologist for this government’s missteps at almost every stage. I desperately want them to succeed. I was a Labour member and canvassed in the election. But I will call out how poor the plans are.
If someone talks about their school 'knowing what greater depth in history is', what should you think of them?
@miss_mcinerney Have you got a very fast training course available? Actually I’ve just realised that’s exactly what Optimus, “national college”, best practice network, ambition or whoever will do pdq.
@calvinrobinson I’m so sad at what happened to you. Many of us predicted you’d defend this far - obvious four or five years ago - but it’s still sad.
