I can't remember the exact words, but I remember feeling very sad, it must have been so hurtful a thing to hear. I felt very sad when I heard that comment, that was when Dr U was so upset. I had to comfort DU. Was crying so much. JR - what sort of crying, can you describe

News: There are no plans at present to make any changes to the Award (AET) and the Certificate (CET) in Education and Training. However, if you teach them, you might like to include aspects such as updated legislation, sustainability, and AI. @Amplify #FE #AET #CET

What topics/advice would you like included in a text book for the new Diploma in Teaching? The qual replaces the DET from Sept 1st. The book's also applicable to the Learning and Skills Teacher apprenticeship. I'm co-authoring with Gavin Lumsden of @TeachUKClass. Thank you!
