Johnny Mercer, "Extraordinary progress on climate change has been made under this Conservative government" George Monbiot, "No, extraordinary progress has not been made under this government. It has deliberately trashed some of the progress even that was made under Boris Johnson's government" #BBCQT

SENCO Network Day 2 with the amazing Rachel Cosgrove and a fantastic group of SENCOs from primary, secondary and special schools! Lots to take away and put into practice back in our schools. @rachScaffoldEd @DiverseAcad @DiverseAPL #SENCO #SEND

@75ThunderRoad @EdRoundtables Very wise. It is interesting how perspectives change when we experience things in our own families.

Thank you to everyone who has read, shared or commented on my thread about attendance from another perspective. Many of us want change! I've put the entire thread into a blog now. Feel free to share widely! stevebheadteacher.wordpress.com/2023/11/23/att…

@Steve_Puttick Wow. Well done Steve. Looks great.

Publication day! Really excited to share my new book - The Geography Teaching Adventure: reclaiming exploration to inspire curriculum and pedagogy amazon.co.uk/Geography-Teac…

As a SENDCo this fairy tale is mine too. Thank you Heather for raising awareness of how tough the job is, how the job is never done and that we have to be the champions of SEND.

Great lunch at Pani’s in central Newcastle @PanisItalian

@naomicfisher Oh my goodness. I can feel that need to soothe right now just reading this interaction. And you are so right, that need to try and hold a spurious boundary because there might judge us. The conflict in our minds to do what feels right.

It’s not bad parenting to listen to your child. It’s not bad parenting to change your mind. It’s not bad parenting to understand that we all behave in ways we regret sometimes and we don’t always need to be made to suffer the consequences. It’s okay to buy the bun. 16/

A Tale of Everyday Parenting When I arrived in the bakery queue there was a small boy standing alone in front of me. He was crying. His parents were standing awkwardly nearby. ’Go ahead’ the mother said to me. Then she said to the man, “I’ll handle this, see you at home” 1/

Parent observations need to count as much as teachers. Children's voices need to be heard. Otherwise our 'science' or 'evidence' is lacking the whole story. And when that happens, any conclusions are thrown into doubt. 12/

Quite a lot of love for Gove flying around since the publication of P8 league table this wk. Here's why he was a disaster for education: 1. He cancelled Building Schools for the Future programme. Look at the state of our schs for evidence of why that was a terrible idea...[1/n]

We work with many partners as a CiC. Not all can afford to exhibit at shows - so we took them all with us instead.

Wowses. Ex Greek finance minister @yanisvaroufakis tells me Suella Braverman should be "expelled" from the UK for starting this "misanthropic, stupid debate" about immigration — that she is a "ridiculous idiot" and a "poor excuse for human nature"😳 unherd.com/thepost/yanis-…

All set up in #Blackpool for their SEND Conference with @PookyH @reachoutasc
