There's a big difference between "speaking up" & "calling out". This is so relevant in the context of building psychological safety & addressing issues & concerns within teams. ‘Speak up’ cultures enable people to get under the surface of issues; to feel & be heard. ‘Call out’ cultures shut down open & honest communication, breeding fear & discontent. When things go wrong, there's often a knee jerk reaction towards fault finding. Stepping back from this & instead focusing on finding solutions supports growth & development of people & systems. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…. By @drbrockbastian. Graphic: Mays W. on LinkedIn.

@mrsteachme I was! Clearly you were too?!?

@timbrog were you in Barter Books today??

Pro tip - quit toxic schools as soon as you possibly can without feeling any of the guilt they will want you to feel.

We are three days away from the beginning of the inquest into Ruth Perry’s tragic death, which followed an OFSTED inspection at her school, Caversham Primary…

Welcome to #SaturdayEduChat What practical steps can governors take to support headteachers feeling close to breaking point?

COMING SOON New focus videos! For each topic, we've carefully chosen the six most important aspects to focus on. Then we've filmed a five minute subject knowledge booster for each one of them. Perfect to watch just before a lesson, or for ideas on planning.

Errors or lies…it doesn’t really matter. The impact of even less funding than promised will have a huge impact on schools. Add a no doubt unfunded support staff payrise and the cuts to SEND funding and this is an attack on inclusive schools. theguardian.com/education/2023…

Well, I had my heart stopped and started again today. 3rd time. It's worked (although it did last time). Grim. But having a cheeky rum now to recover. Life is short, groovy bastards, so make it count... And I must be fucking delerious to post a pic. It'll be gone tomorrow..

First week back complete ✅Ending with another bumper harvest from our allotment and happily shared with our families at the end of the day. 🙏❤️ Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

@helenrey Hey Helen-where can I get a copy of this if you’re willing to share?

Anyone else doing a 'Learning and the Brain' presentation to students? We're doing it with ALL MS and HS students this year... yay! We're also adding in about the Default Mode Network (anxiety about grades and looking for lions)... DM if you'd like a copy!

Last year, working in Ireland, having a pint in the cold outside a Dalkey pub with some new friends, a woman with purpose strode past us. Puffy parker zipped to the nape and her bowed head covered in a scarf. One of my new friends muttered an exclamation, jumped up

UK friends! This year’s All-Ireland Hurling Final will be live on BBC iPlayer on Sunday afternoon 3.30pm. It’ll be Limerick v Kilkenny, a repeat of last year’s final and it might be a classic. You will certainly see why I keep going on about Hurling here…

Gillian Keegan said headteachers had a ‘duty’ to get children to school in a TV interview, but heads’ union says comments ‘demonstrate a worrying lack of understanding of how schools operate’ tes.com/magazine/news/…

Thank goodness Headteachers are not already over worked, exhausted & broken news.sky.com/video/missing-…

@brassoteach What a terrible start to the day 🤣 Our daughter has a process, usually between 5:45 and 6:15, of shouting all of our names repeatedly until she gets a response. It used to be just mummy and daddy but she’s recently included her siblings. It’s always a wonderful way to wake up 😵‍💫
