⚠️New Post: Attention ⚠️ "What we attend to, we amplify." Attention is an element of school leadership. Are we considering the attention of school leaders? How often is this spread across multiple areas? Read by thoughts below: researcherteacher.home.blog/2025/08/17/l...

‘we’re going to catch up to them by going slower than they are?’

The traumatic experience of tribunals for EHCPs is often told from the parents' perspective - for good reasons - but looking at it from the school perspective tells us a huge amount about the disaster of the current system. Excellent piece from @ellencph.bsky.social www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

This weekend I have been on the last school trip I may ever do. Over the last 15 years, I’ve trekked up probably over 100 mountains with over 300 students. It has been the highlight of my career. I wrote this a few years back. It has been a privilege and joy. 🙏 educontrarianblog.com/2018/07/17/t...

This is an interesting interpretation of the difference between autonomy and agency. It’s an important decision in my mind.

New from me. Would getting rid of EHCPs make things better? Maybe. But the risks are huge. bennewmark.wordpress.com/2025/06/02/e...
