#ISATT2025 The last keynote - one of Prof Aileen Kennedy's provocations is about what we know and understand about 'quality' teaching and the colonial influences on professional learning. Is there a place for resistance?

A powerful provocation from Prof Lin Goodwin when discussing quality education...

#ISATT2025 - educators from across 46 different parts of the world coming together to disrupt and reimagine the landscape of quality education.

Soooo looking forward to this keynote!! From Teaching, to Teaching Teachers, to Teaching Teacher Educators. Professor Lin Goodwin is another international giant whose shoulders we stand on. 🩷 #ISATT2025

Looking forward to chairing the paper discussions around professional identity and engagement #ISATT2025

A huge warm welcome from Professor Margery McMahon - #ISATT2025 off to a brilliant start! @uofgsocsci.bsky.social @s4mee.bsky.social

A much needed support for school communities. Leaders, teachers, families, children need to be supported in their approach to racism and racist incidents. As chair of the National Anti-Racism in Education programme, I want to express members for their valuable time and expertise in producing this.

Hear, hear! A true giant - his criticality, compassion and conviction paved the way for a social justice movement in Scotland and beyond! 🩷

It was lovely to see you McRhon! This is a brilliant research project on teacher activism ... looking forward to hearing more about this. 🙏🏽🎉

Looking forward to tomorrow - thank you for inviting me to join the panel discussion: A Collaborative Approach to Becoming An Anti-Racist Education System: Opportunities and Challenges.

Privileged to be listening to Prof Ann Lopez as she offers observations on the National Anti-Racism Framework for ITE as 'radical work' and simply 'wow' - I think I've passed... 😜 @alisonmitchelluofg.bsky.social @drannlopez.bsky.social

It was such an insightful discussion - so much more to learn! Thank you so much to Alison and Dennis for the invitation to meet with the awesome Prof Ann Lopez @drannlopez.bsky.social @dennisafrancis.bsky.social @julie67.bsky.social

What a wonderful, relevant and engaging #Enhanced #Political #Awareness session #EPA @uofgsocsci.bsky.social with Professor Mark Priestley from the University of Stirling, asking critical questions. @markpriestley.bsky.social E.g., How do we educate young people to be active and ethical citizens?

So excited to be participating in #ISATT2025 with colleagues from @uofgsocsci.bsky.social and beyond! What an amazing programme! @profaileenk.bsky.social @drannlopez.bsky.social @msbakerht.bsky.social @khadijamohammed.bsky.social @dennisafrancis.bsky.social Welcome to #Glasgow!

...and why many Black women die during childbirth! Absolutely appalling.

Tara, your contributions to the Anti-Racism in Education Programme (AREP) have been so valuable. Thank you so much for your continued support and solidarity it's phenomenal! @nasuwt-official.bsky.social

Thank you so much, Alison. It was such a privilege to host this today with our fabulous co-chairs and the amazing, Dr Pauline Stephen, chairing the panel so brilliantly. Powerful contribution from young people and key education stakeholders, including our First Minister @gtcscotland.bsky.social

Thank you so much for inviting me to contribute this afternoon. Fantastic group of school leaders and ITE colleagues engaged in critical discussions around the anti-racism framework. 🎉🙏🏽

The reviews have started to come in for The Diverse Curriculum and I’m so excited that I want to give a copy away to one lovely person/school! If you’d like a copy, repost, follow and introduce yourself. I will draw names out of a hat in one week precisely!

Thank you so much! Your support is much appreciated Tara. 🙏🏽🩷

True story.

Brilliant!

Thank you - 🙏🏽

In April, I was ‘disappeared’ from air at LBC. It was a disorienting, distressing & isolating experience. Unknown to me, 1 listener, a respected scientist, began an unprecedented petition to express his concern. 40,000 of you signed it. I’d never met that listener - until... @davidpnoble.bsky.social

Add racism to the mix ...for female teachers of colour, this is yet another challenge they face in schools and not just from some young people but some colleagues too! #racism #misogyny #intersectionality

And so there needs to be integrity in recruitment, people need to know what they’re joining, that’s the only way it can work. www.inc.com/mandy-gilber...

“Islamophobia is not a problem for Muslims alone - it is a societal issue that demands our collective attention” @nasarmeer.bsky.social took part in a discussion on @runnymedetrust.bsky.social report that shows Islamophobia in the UK is growing. More on #SocSciHub: www.gla.ac.uk/explore/glas...

It's 40 years old so I get that it's of its time...but why are they releasing an updated version and thinking these lyrics are still OK? So much othering .. 'tonight thank God it's them instead of you' ...really?

Important event next week hosted at Moray House exploring Islamophobia in the media. Link below if you want to join www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/islamophob...

So pleased you are in this space but please do make sure your voice is heard. True, authentic listening is when you see your powerful contributions reflected in the report. All too often, we are 'included' in such discussions for our experiences and perspectives but 'excluded' in outcomes/actions!

This is brilliant - thanks for sharing. My personal favourites are 'Thistle Do Icely' and 'Snowing me, Snowing you' 🤣

EYC Mentoring Day Two! @uofgheadship.bsky.social @uofgcp.bsky.social @mariemcquade.bsky.social @uofgsocsci.bsky.social @glasgowcc.bsky.social Thank you Sinéad Gormally for such an inspiring presentation around Poverty and Social Justice leadership! #Leading #Mentoring #Justice

Great to see the universities engaging with the framework - collaborating with teacher mentors 🙏🏽

Delighted to be offering a workshop @StirUni for teacher mentors/regents on how to build their #RacialLiteracy & better support #BAME student teachers. If you're in a Forth Valley school, please consider coming along and pls share: Register here: www.tickettailor.com/events/facul...

The SQA has published a 'roadmap' for change, but will it just take us down the same old road? Some analysis for @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/news/2473907...

"Professor Arshad says, the gap between those “pushing for the best in critical anti-racist work” and those “not doing it, or engaging in a piecemeal manner, remains unacceptably wide”. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 www.tes.com/magazine/new...

“Anti-racism as a concept needs to be “presented repeatedly with deepening complexity and applications” as pupils progress through school, while any curriculum reform should audit areas of strength and weakness.”
