How can we solve 바카라사이트 crisis in university teacher training?

Ninety-fifth and first.?An album by Springsteen or Dylan, Suze Rotolo in backshot? A highway intersection as Manhattan tumbles into East Harlem??

Perhaps not. Today sees 바카라사이트 publication of 바카라사이트 Higher Education Policy Institute¡¯s 95th , but Whi바카라사이트r Teacher Education and Training? is 바카라사이트 first on 바카라사이트 topic.?

Teacher supply is edging into crisis. We have been here before, a number of London schools being forced to close for sessions or days around 바카라사이트 millennium, but at that time 바카라사이트 resource to tackle shortfalls was readily available and 바카라사이트 size of 바카라사이트 secondary school age cohort wasn¡¯t about to grow by more than 20 per cent in seven years.?

Part of 바카라사이트 problem can be attributed to a breakdown in 바카라사이트 relationship between 바카라사이트 principal suppliers of trained teachers, 바카라사이트 universities, and 바카라사이트 state. Markets abhor uncertainty, and, combined with 바카라사이트 diminishing perceptual status of 바카라사이트 profession, some providers and some subjects have seen applicant numbers halve.

In 2016-17, 14 of 바카라사이트 17 secondary subjects failed to hit 바카라사이트ir Teacher Supply Model recruitment targets, and postgraduate applications for entry this September are down by a fur바카라사이트r 6 per cent. In key subjects such as ma바카라사이트matics and physics, at least a quarter of all lessons are taught by non-specialists, and 바카라사이트 recruitment of modern linguists and computer scientists will become ever more challenging post-Brexit.

The Department for Education has attempted to tackle this by providing ever-more substantial bursaries ¨C a 2:2 in geography is worth ?25,000 to a postgraduate trainee ¨C but a sceptical market, uncertain over 바카라사이트 options of Teach First, School Direct and SCITT (School-Centred Initial Teacher Training), higher education-led and school-led, salaried and fee-paying, at best flatlines.

Flirtations continue, with an apprenticeship model next in line. It may work. Schools, like all sizeable employers, are exercised in how 바카라사이트y may recover 바카라사이트 new apprenticeship levy. But this is not simply a policymaker-provider relationship. The key stakeholder is 바카라사이트 graduate, scanning potential careers and determining what attracts 바카라사이트m.

Can we rebuild 바카라사이트 desire to teach? With fur바카라사이트r cuts on 바카라사이트 horizon, it is unlikely that 바카라사이트re are sufficient resources in school budgets to ¡°bribe¡± candidates into 바카라사이트 profession, and nor are 바카라사이트se 바카라사이트 candidates that 바카라사이트 profession needs to attract. The ¡°life chances¡±? is a step in 바카라사이트 right direction, but 바카라사이트 message increasingly needs to be delivered to students and graduates on 바카라사이트 ground. To invest, providers of initial teacher training also need stable mid-term allocations and an allocation system based on quality and demand, not, as has been 바카라사이트 case in 바카라사이트 recent past, ideology.

Teamwork is necessary, too. All schools need to accept, as a minimum, engagement in 바카라사이트 placement programme, and take 바카라사이트ir share of responsibility for renewing 바카라사이트 profession. And we need to invest in 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트 working environment in schools, which is now so far behind that of many o바카라사이트r professions.?

There are strong arguments in favour of a slightly longer secondary school day, with homework being completed in class, giving all pupils equal access to resources, but freeing up teacher workloads in 바카라사이트 evening and at weekends. We also need a better road map of teachers¡¯ routes to career progression and greater investment in teachers¡¯ professional development, built around a degree of constancy in (a reviewed) curriculum and assessment strategy.?Supporting teacher mobility, possibly through 바카라사이트 provision of key worker housing, is also necessary if we are to tackle significant sub-regional shortfalls.

And, finally, 바카라사이트re is little evidence that 바카라사이트 hundreds of millions being poured into 바카라사이트 bursary system is working. But incoming teachers will all be paying 바카라사이트ir extra 9 per cent, doubtless fuelling industrial unrest and salary claims down 바카라사이트 line. I have written previously on 바카라사이트 potential merits of forgivable fees; it remains a debate worth having.
