I need to start writing on here.Seems like it's the place to be 🤔

Lovely hour yesterday recording a podcast for @seced.bsky.social with @pookyh.bsky.social, @inclusionht.bsky.social and Bukky Yusaf about support children with autism in school. Please listen when it comes out.

Interesting piece from COBIS CEO Colin Bell today on @tesmagazine.bsky.social about why the curriculum review must be mindful of the international impact of any changes it proposes www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

www.theguardian.com/education/20... Special Needs as a label suggests a group as somehow different to the majority. @inclusionht.bsky.social @inclusivejoeb.bsky.social @disasterstrat.bsky.social Schools measured by academic success rather than principles of justice creates inequality.

A qualified SENCO with 20 years' experience working in various roles across educational settings provision and local authority, we’re delighted that @inclusionht.bsky.social will be joining us as a keynote speaker at our SEND Conference. More info: hfl.mobi/SENDConf25BS #SEND #edusky #academicsky

📣Speaker Announcement It's time to announce our first headline speaker at #SENDCONF25. We're really very excited to have the incredible @inclusionht.bsky.social with us. Frances' session will explore 'Creative Solutions for Truly Inclusive Classrooms' Tickets: www.sendconference.org

A great (fictional) example of why #inclusion is so important for our young people. 👏 #Accessiblity #Inclusivity #EduSky #Ukteachers #UKEd

"the intervention effects didn’t vary according to whether they were delivered in a small group, one-to-one or who implemented them" Fascinating chat with Prof Jo Van Herewegen on what works (and doesn't) for SEND interventions - loads of insights for schools www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

➡️ Speech and language is in crisis - what can schools do next? The S&L crisis is not a Covid blip, it is a long-term problem that is damaging the outcomes of too many children and schools are being left to cope alone. A critical long read this morning www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

NEW POST on regional variations in reports from inspections conducted in 2023-24. Intriguing differences in numbers inspected, outcomes, changes and - perhaps most importantly - the need to improve comments. @ssatuk.co.uk www.ssatuk.co.uk/blog/minding...

Interesting. The funding is very attractive too for trusts that GAG pool. Something for special schools that are considering this to be cautious of. #SEND #education #schools @SchoolsWeek schoolsweek.co.uk/schools-look...

Delighted to share the new Lit in Colour report out today www.penguin.co.uk/lit-in-colou... The message is: change is possible. And we love to see it.

Ormiston academies trust to be first to ban mobile phones across its schools. Interesting. apple.news/Avl57aHoOQb-...

My article in TES on my concerns about widespread adoption of AI to plan on our behalf. www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

I found a really good ALTtext generator. Free for first 25 pictures then £2.34 for 50 credits. Small price to most for accessibility. No excuses now 😊 #AI #accesibility #ALTtext #inclusion alttext.ai

A reminder of the importance of safeguarding and why internet safe search filters on school equipment for staff as well as pupils needs to be in place. Unfortunately having a clear DBS check can just mean they haven’t been caught yet. 🤮#safeguarding www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

What will the Ofsted Report Card look like when it starts being used in September 2025? We don't know for sure, but the model used by the police and fire services are already influential on early thinking. Really useful piece ⬇️ www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

This is an interesting move. The chief executive title I don’t think is particularly helpful for trusts as it just sounds too businessy One person I spoke to today suggested chief education officer might work better

Super analysis from @samanthajbooth.bsky.social and @fftedudatalab.bsky.social - new inspections will give parents a more positive picture, as many schools had one or more better sub grades than their overall judgement Will be difficult to distinguish for a parent between the old RI and Good now

Breaking: #Ofsted has revealed its response to the Big Listen consultation, with proposed inspection reforms including: 🔸 A new inspection framework 🔸 A new focus on inclusion 🔸 A Monday-only school notification policy Here's everything you need to know… (1/3) www.tes.com/magazine/new...

@beckyfrancis.bsky.social writes exclusively for @tesmagazine.bsky.social detailing what she and her panel will - and will not - be looking at in the curriculum and assessment review This is commendable transparency and a very useful outline from Becky. www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

Workers to gain right to a four day week. Some schools will say ‘not reasonably feasible’ applies to them but others have implemented flexible working successfully. This will be interesting. #EduSky #education #schools apple.news/AOXtZKOnnR6a...

I’m in London for the day and I’m reminded of how much I miss it. It’s like Twitter. I miss it but I know it’s not good for me right now. 😅

If you’re going to try and teach an autistic person “social skills”, don’t use a real situation they were in as an example and point out everything you think they did wrong. People tried that on me, and all that did was made me more insecure and socially anxious.

Gutted to be missing this as I am at a conference that week. Likely to be of interest to ‘SEND mums’ #SENDfamily #SENDfamilies and anyone working in #SEND

I’m thrilled to have my ideas published in @SchoolsWeek 🤓 It’s time to measure what we value, not value what we measure! What do you think? 🤔 schoolsweek.co.uk/labour-must-...

A statue honoring civil rights hero and US Congressman John Lewis has been unveiled in Georgia, replacing a Confederate monument that had stood there for more than a century.

What an incredibly unsurprising turn of events. But, seriously, if you're still advertising on ExTwitter, you know that this is a risk. Spare me the "oh we're pulling ads because we just found out about this." www.cbsnews.com/news/world-b...

It’s really hard doing follow Friday when there are so many to choose from, so a quick plea for those of you working in SEND or with an interest in SEND to follow families. An understanding of lived experiences can really help develop professional understanding and practice. #SEND #EduSky
