Reintroducing myself Catrina Lowri - multiple ND teacher - on a mission to improve neuro inclusion -offering training and mentoring - 10/12 through writing a book but ran out of dopomine Looking for -dopamine -like minded ND teachers and professionals -people with exciting passions

It’s important to note the truth when there are so many lies around

We kicked off the day with a training session from @neuroteachers.bsky.social, where we discussed the importance of language + identity when creating inclusive learning spaces for neurodivergent children. We look forward to having ongoing conversations about neurodivergence here at Literacy Tree.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social hi I’m Neuroteachers aka Catrina from Cardiff. I was on your show this morning. My papers are linked through the buttons on my website here marked “good autism practice “ neuroteachers.com/individual-s...

Thank you so much for inviting me! Very proud to represent @diverse educators. Thank you @hannahwilson.bsky.social

I don’t post on here much because the few times I have things end up being a re run of the same old troop we used to have on Edutwitter. How do we make the footballisation of education doesn’t continue here?

I’ve now had to block 4 Elon Musk profiles. That’s interesting. What is he doing on Bluesky? Or could they be trolls??? 🤔

Hi All, haven’t posted much recently. What’s new? I’ve been so busy that my work has been getting in the way of my work 😂

Allegedly Elon Musk just followed me so I blocked him.

Yes. I agree.

Why do we take play from dysregulated children? vm.tiktok.com/ZGd16ud9w/

Does your neurodivergent child use their ND as an excuse? Here are my thought on why this might happen. I’d love to read your thoughts or comments 👇 vm.tiktok.com/ZGeoq49yV/

Check me out making hilarious jokes about the Byzantine Empire! It’s good, I promise, but you have understand the context.

As long as Justiniam doesn’t accidentally ignite the biggest sporting riot in history, we should be ok then.

Unintentionally ableist actions I’ve seen in schools include - insisting on contact (!) -social skills classes only for ND kids -sensory breaks only when a teachers says it’s ok -complete ban from discussing special interests What examples have you seen?

This is so cool!

Thank you so much to the teams from Hull and East Yorkshire who put together the 3 days of events I spoke at last week. I felt so supported and the adjustments you gave me enabled me to do my presentation to the best of my ability. I’m so grateful and would love to work with you again

Today was great; I trained 70 teachers, EPs and educators on Behaviour, PDA and Exclusion prevention for Hull City Council. So many fantastic questions and ideas shared . Thanks so much!

This totally gives the wrong impression. Schools are starting to think of innovative ways to stop their staff burning out and it’s billed as a “lie in”. Ben is right; lazy headline. It makes interesting reading though 👇

I’d like more people working in education to follow please

I had a lot of fun presenting of “Celebrating Neurodiversity and what your child and expect in the classroom “ today for East Yorkshire parent carers as part of the PINS program. Such a lively enthusiastic bunch of teachers, parents and healthcare professionals. Hope to come back soon !

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,355,241! This is so cool!

Day one and I’m on another train! This time I’m going to Beverly to train Parents, carers and teachers about Neurodiversity in Schools as part of the PINS project

Delighted to be in Hull ahead of a 3 day series of Neurodiversity training sessions with parents, carers and professionals as part of the PINS programme. The long journey was totally worth it !

I’d like more people working in education to follow please

I just got followed by 2 Prince Andrew accounts. I blocked both, naturally. Are they to Bluesky what the Keanu’s were to Twitter?

Any Welsh teachers or support staff here? If so I’d love to connect with you

Before you say “we don’t have any ND staff at our school” consider this; ND people make up around 20% of the population so this is statistically unlikely. There is still a huge stigma attached to being ND in education so they may be masking. Is that possible?

Seems like using “nanny state” as a negative is the sort of thing people who had real Nannies who drove them round when they were canvassing . Why is taken preventative measures to help the obesity crisis bad?

Absolutely this ! 👇

I use AI for “planning” all sorts of things. Presentation, pitches, even whole Inset days, but in the same way a Google search isn’t “research “ AI isn’t “lesson planning “. It’s a tool. It gives you ideas. It’s only as good as the prompt. It won’t teacher planning. It’s an extra tool. Discuss 👇

Thank you to everyone who has followed me over the last few days. I’m looking forward to hearing more about what you are working on. Also… I blocked a load of people I don’t want hear from because I definitely don’t want a re run of Twitter. So don’t come at me with that prog v trad nonsense. 🙏😊

I grew these. Then I ate them for lunch. I’m not a great gardener but I have grown potatoes and tomatoes this year. Thought @suecowley.bsky.social Would appreciate this picture

There seem to be people raging against the single word Ofsted judgements being dropped. We don’t have them in Wales and it’s worked well. Why is dropping them a bad thing for English schools?
