If you’ve been following the recent headlines on teacher recruitment and retention, you’ll know that the government’s statistics paint a grim picture of missed targets and schools finding it increasingly hard to find enough teachers.
In September, the Government decided to set up a new Workload Reduction Taskforce because ministers seem to believe that if they can reduce teachers’ workload then perhaps more people will sign up to become teachers and then remain in the profession once they get there.
To help this new taskforce with their important work, I have devised three proposals to reduce teacher’s workload and I have two expert guests who are going to tell me whether my three proposals are useful or useless.
Our guests are Becky Allen, co-founder and Chief Analyst of the teacher survey tool Teacher Tapp and Professor of Education at the University of Brighton, and James Zuccollo, the Director for School Workforce at the Education Policy Institute.
