I remember Meera Syal saying on a tv chat show about twenty bleeding years ago about the lack of representation of poc on tv particularly in advertising. It’s taken this long to finally see a fair balance so that stupid women and others like her should just shut the fuck up.

Ever run researcher development sessions and noted a gender disparity? Our paper on this topic, simmering away since 2024, is out! Our fearless leader + heaviest lifter on this work is undeniably @drmeagantyler.bsky.social. * insert 'We're not worthy' meme * Thanks, @herdjournal.bsky.social! 🫰

Reflecting on an inspiring time at the @ncrm.ac.uk Improvising Methods Forum 🧵Stitching together ideas or engaging with stillness amongst among the trees, every moment sparked new ways of thinking 💬 A real highlight was meeting new colleagues and collaborators who made the experience truly special

Aries: If you had a chance to do it all over again, you’d make the same fucked up choices.

I can get behind this movement! And it's time soup got called out for masquerading as a meal. It's just a chewy drink that's too wet to be food.

How can research and initial teacher education institutions support research use? New report just landed from the OECD. #EducationalResearch www.oecd.org/en/publicati...

*What makes or breaks teaching for young people?* I have a new open-access paper out in @berj-2025.bsky.social bera-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Teacher-makers and teacher-breakers: (Re)defining how status and safety influence trajectories into and away from teaching 🧵(1/11)

I'm feeling very forswunk this week. Slightly concerned as it's only September and there's another 10 months of the academic year to go 🙈

Reward for getting up and out early this morning 😍 #run #menorunner #10ktraining

Next up we have the inspiring, education rock star God (determined by @draimeequicks.bsky.social), @domwyse.bsky.social

An exciting morning of cross-phase teacher learning for primary and secondary ITE at @leedstrinity.bsky.social organised by the fabulous @aligriff.bsky.social and Jo Hopton. Staring with inspirational botheredness from @hywelroberts.bsky.social

𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗴: Education reform deserves language that reflects its complexity. When policy borrows corporate vocabulary, we risk reducing teaching to a transaction rather than a deeply human, transformative process, says Dr O'Donnell. #ECER2025 #EduSci...

Loved this session! It was great to work with such supportive colleagues and to feel so much joy in the room for narrative methods and social justice ❤️

Happy to share that after an exciting collaboration (herding cats) with excellent co-authors @draimeequicks.bsky.social @edpodesta.bsky.social and Megan Stephenson our research paper on challenging the golden thread in ITE is now available open access 🎉 @beranews.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/berj...

Big paper and big pens at the ready! Counting down to our workshop at #BERA2025. Hope to see lots of colleagues there for some story telling, networking and future planning 📚✏️

Aries: The only thing holding you back from your dreams is you, and the threat of imprisonment.

Cat has nailed the ultimate summer body sunbathing pose 😎

A provocative start from Prof Paul Miller, challenging us to think about colonialism, decoloniality and curriculum. Lots to take forward with our ITE students.

Looking forward to a day of rich and challenging conversation about social justice in HE with @leedstrinity.bsky.social colleagues.

Such a privilege to present our work with student teachers @isatt2025.bsky.social today with my bestie colleague @aligriff.bsky.social

Really important work on the assault of personhood and doppelgangers of student teachers in the ITTECF from Prof Lisa Murtagh and Dr Mandy Pierlejewski @isatt2025.bsky.social #ISATT2025

Thanks @drannlopez.bsky.social for provoking this pondering about equity in Teacher Education #ISATT2025

Aries: It may seem like things are hopeless, because they are.

Enjoyed this very thought-provoking session from colleagues at University of Melbourne #ISATT2025 How do we prioritise (and resource!) teachers' professional learning that is meaningful and nourishing? @isatt2025.bsky.social

Fàilte! Very happy to be at @isatt2025.bsky.social

Same here Boris, same here...

Enjoyed this very thought-provoking masterclass with @vikkihill.bsky.social about potential of pass/fail.assessment in HE. Lots to take away and think about for future practice!

June is Pride Month. Let's call out companies who show support for LGBTQ+ people while also advertising on GB News, a channel that pumps out LGBTQ+ hate. Tell these companies to pick a side - hate or Pride: action.goodlawproject.org/pick-side-ha...

If this isn't a sign to go out and buy wine, I don't know what is...

This week on Wonkhe: The Department for Education has opened applications for new ITT accreditation. Megan Stephenson worries lessons haven’t been learned from the last go-round

Loved our co-creation event today with fabulous @leedstrinity.bsky.social PGCE students. Thinking about representations of our past, present and future selves in the teaching profession. Incredible thought-provoking discussions and lots of creativity in the room @aligriff.bsky.social

That Friday feeling when you send a full draft paper to your lovely co-authors, knowing it's now not your problem until Monday 🙌

⚡NEW PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROJECT COMING SOON⚡ How are mental health problems portrayed in TV shows, films and music, and what impact does this have? Does it help us understand better? Can it ever be unhelpful? A new project from Dr Lucy Foulkes & Isaac Winterburn Follow this account for updates!

Really enjoyed this blog! Lots that will resonate with our newly developing @llalliance.bsky.social professional learning network
