Disney with the family and seeing my ex student in the parade made my day! Good for the soul and heart!

Absolutely love this 😂

Love the holidays for baking; apple pie and plain scones!

This weekend, workers throughout Scotland are attending our STUC Black Workers' Conference in record numbers. When the far-right try to divide us, we respond; bigger, empowered and mobilised. news.stv.tv/scotland/inc...

One. I have one school visit scheduled for the 2025-26 school year. Before the book banning movement and the politics of hate metastasized, I visited 40, 50, and 60 schools each year. The Nazis hated authors and banned books. If you don't like being called Nazis, stop behaving like Nazis. One.

In a world where misinformation spreads faster than truth, standing firm in kindness, inclusion and education matters more than ever. Every child deserves a school where they are safe to be themselves and to learn without fear. We’ll continue to build that — respect and equality at our heart

🏳️‍🌈 Ten years of TIE 🏳️‍🌈 Today the Herald on Sunday is running a special package about the fight for LGBT-inclusive education in schools. It includes exclusive interviews with the founders of the campaign, as well as TIE patron Susie McCabe, and much more. www.heraldscotland.com/news/educati...

“When I speak to other parents and carers across the country, both in my personal life and through this work, I hear overwhelming support for this kind of common sense education, and recent polling reflects that too.” 📰 Read our feature interview with @jamesmcenaney.bsky.social in The Herald

“As I was starting to see us lurch to the right. I was seeing things and hearing things that I would have seen and heard in the 1980s.” 🎥 Watch Susie McCabe’s exclusive interview with @jamesmcenaney.bsky.social about LGBT Inclusive Education, the current climate, and growing up under Section 28.

I’m glad this is getting coverage - higher drama changes are not supporting staff which in turn isn’t supporting learners www.heraldscotland.com/news/2518427...

It’s a beautiful day today to in the North West of Scotland!

Over on our blog 🖋️ Jordan Daly, Co-Founder of Time for Inclusive Education @tie.scot, discusses social media use among young people, the need for urgent action and highlights a free tool which is looking to support teachers and school staff across Scotland. Read now: lnkd.in/eFMHspBy

Beautiful walk with these two! Happy Saturday peeps

Today a wee visit from Poppy Scotland and the sun is shining!

Day 1 back and my body feels like it’s been back for 5 years without a break… mid 40s… gie me a break!!!!!

Excited to announce that my first children’s story book ‘Miss Lossie Mouth and the haunted house’ is being published in June (pride month). Each story is in Scots and gives its reader a moral outcome in a fabulous adventure!

This is Jax & this is Ella. Jax is a trans man and Ella is a trans woman. How did we end up in a society that is celebrating Jax going into the women's bathroom & Ella being at risk in the men's?! If you are supporting the Supreme Court's decision, you have been brainwashed and should be ashamed.

Sending love to everyone this impacts.

Scottish headteacher @jnaplescampbell.bsky.social on the peer-led programme that has 'the potential to be a game-changer in the fight against misogyny and the harmful influence of the manosphere on young minds' www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

It’s been an incredible weekend in Krakow with Andrena doing what I love most - Holocaust education. Shattered, thought provoking and emotional.

This Passover I’m at Auschwitz-Birkenau for a poignant and emotional event. "In Jewish history there are no coincidences." — Elie Wiesel​. Happy Passover everyone

Empowering students through peer-led approaches can break down harmful stereotypes among boys and young men, says this headteacher

A article I wrote for @tesmagazine.bsky.social about what we should be doing in Scotland post the interest in ‘Adolescence’ www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

Such a powerful, heartbreaking, numbing horror to watch, but important. Why are Jews scared? We carry generations of inherited trauma. We grew up with stories of pogroms, of ghettos, of Auschwitz. And on October 7th, that collective memory was no longer history — it felt like it was happening again.

Oh this will be interesting

Just finished the book… it’s beautifully told and engaging for a younger audience. Couldn’t put it down

Please tell me I’m not the only one who finds ‘kind regards’ thee most passive aggressive sign off on an email… it literally gives me nausea

So proud of my pal! She’s an incredible role model to so many people!

So we have bats in one of our primary schools and they created a whole project on it! They counted about 60 bats in the attic and a key nesting ground for the north of Scotland! Absolutely love it!

Radical action or evidence based responses. We know what works but we seldom follow what works Adolescence writer calls for 'radical action' not role models www.bbc.com/news/article...

Absolutely this!

Please read and share wide

I agree. I’m a bit concerned it’s not being used to properly engage boys.

All schools should be doing MVP if they want to be tackling issues surrounding misogyny, the mansophere and men’s mental health. It’s an important programme - happy to have been around for its inception by @grahamgoulden.bsky.social and to have seen it develop and grow.

I’m loving everyone jumping on the ‘adolescent’ bandwagon but this is not new information - educators should have been acting on this years ago.

River City is Scotland's only serial drama. It has been running since 2002 and not only provides a much-needed regionalised drama series, but also serves as a vital training ground for actors, production and crew. The BBC is a public service broadcaster, not a commercial entity... 1/

John is spot on here. Mkte wirk needed to better engage boys on these issues. The topic of my #SundayThread today bsky.app/profile/grah...

Beautiful walk to get my head in the game for the week ahead

Binged Adolescence in one go; hard hitting. So relevant and current. We have so much work to do to a) fight Misogyny but more importantly b) to get boys and men to talk

Bit random but does any pals know of any props/puppeteer makers who could help me with a project. I’d like to use life size puppets of a production instead of actors in costume for Winnie The Pooh like the ones below… any help appreciated… my puppet making skills are still at basic level lolll

Our school has just got LED lighting…. My new placard 👇

When we commit to building resilience, we aren’t just teaching students how to succeed in school—we’re giving them the tools to succeed in life. One small action at a time, we help them face life’s challenges with strength, optimism, and purpose. That’s not just teaching—it’s transformation.

Using Theatre of the Oppressed with headteachers and teachers to raise social awareness and explore social change in challenging systemic racism in Scottish schools. @alisonmitchelluofg.bsky.social @uofgheadship.bsky.social

Anyone who knows me knows I have called out antisemitism since I could talk, as I have done with homophobia, racism & misogyny. I have huge issues with people claiming to be for ‘equality’ but pick & choose who they want to champion & I have even bigger issues with people who hide behind falsehoods
