During a job interview, if they ask: “Do you have any questions for us?” USE THE GOLDEN RESPONSE: 

A brain can't learn if it is stressed, worried or afraid. Basic neuroscience. 🧠🌱

A Monday morning question for you: Is the situation actually complicated or is it really quite straightforward, but you're making it complicated because it requires a lot of courage to make the straightforward decision?

this professor explains Game Theory so good it makes you want to learn it now.

Each day, spend some time on two things: 1. working toward something that will pay off years from now 2. appreciating something that is happening right now

Behaviour is a way of communicating an unmet need,a way of communicating distress.Lets not get stuck on the behaviour but instead,look beneath the behaviour by asking ourselves."What are the causes & conditions that are leading to this behaviour"What's missing in their lives🧠🌱

It’s so good to have him back #ctfc

Toy Story 5 is going to be a gut punch to modern parenting, where children are just given tablets, which leads to technology addiction, anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, & self-esteem issues… Culture needs this movie. Can’t wait to watch.

SC: "The support from the stands has been incredible. I so desperately want to do well for them." #ctfc

Leonardo da Vinci invented a self supporting bridge more than 500 years ago. This is how it works

Hi all, Here is the first video in an occasional series about the important people who run The Academy. Please like and share. Thanks x

This teacher-turned-cognitive scientist shared a disturbing reality that left the room stunned. “Our kids are LESS cognitively capable than we were at their age.” Every previous generation outperformed its parents since we began recording in the late 1800s. So, what happened? Screens. Dr. Jared Horvath explained: “Gen Z is the first generation in modern history to underperform us on basically every cognitive measure we have, from basic attention to memory, to literacy, to numeracy, to executive functioning, to EVEN GENERAL IQ, even though they go to more school than we did.” “So why? … The answer appears to be the tools we are using within schools to drive that learning (screens).” “If you look at the data, once countries adopt digital technology widely in schools, performance goes down significantly, to the point where kids who use computers about five hours per day in school for learning purposes will score over two-thirds of a standard deviation LESS than kids who rarely or never touch tech at school. And that’s across 80 countries.” But screens aren’t just decimating learning and making new generations less intelligent than the ones before them.

Childhood trauma is often misread in schools as being disruptive, challenging behaviour. The pupil receives more punishment when they really need support. You can't punish trauma out of a pupil who has already been punished throughout their life.🧠🌱

We don’t have a classroom management problem. We have an emotional regulation crisis that teachers are being asked to handle. Somehow, “classroom management” has turned into: • de-escalating trauma • supporting anxiety and depression • calming panic attacks • being the counselor, social worker, and crisis team • carrying emotional loads no one sees And then we remove the very things that help like recess, movement, art, play, connection. Teachers aren’t trained for that. They shouldn’t have to be. Classroom management is about relationships, structure, routines, and connection. It was never meant to replace what families, communities, and systems failed to provide. And until we stop offloading every societal failure onto schools, teachers will keep drowning under expectations no human can meet.

Hot take: We need to stop racing to the final answer in math class. If we only teach the procedure to get the answer, we would get so many false positives. Yeah, they got the right answer, but do they actually understand the math?

When a pupil becomes a problem,the behaviour becomes the focus. This is often the lens used by a behaviourst approach. The pupil is suspended, again & again. Each suspension fuels resentment & a lack of hope. We tend to miss what their behaviour is telling us.🧠🌱

Safety is not created by compliance. Safety is created by relationships,attunement & genuine understanding of a young person’s neurobiology. The more healthy relationships we wrap around our pupils,the better the outcomes. Its not rocket science. Its neuroscience. 🧠🌱
