Not a chance

I give up with this mentally weak team.

Chasing ‘Belonging’ without a focus on improving behaviour so that the learning environment is safe, calm, orderly and predictable is just the same nonsense from the past.

Isn’t Inclusion everything students interact with in a school? Why rebrand a SENCO job as Inclusion Lead/Director?

This is so important. The same words we use don’t mean the same thing to everyone.

This is even the case within schools.

Ask your Sendco what it means and then ask your AHT for T&L.

An excellent piece on the White Paper from Cassie. Hopefully, we can agree on what inclusion means and how to achieve it.

“High standards and inclusion are two sides of the same coin.”

After reading the white paper carefully and discussing it during a SENCo forum this week, I’ve written on the shift in language, and what some of this might mean for schools in practice.

More reason to not bother with Ofsted

Just devoid of humanity

This govt is immoral

Thanks for coming to my session 👍

Session 1 @researchedbrum.bsky.social

I am speaking on why leaders need a leadership framework for their development in their context and how we might go about doing this. The impact of leaders’ work on staff wellbeing, culture and results for students is too important to be left to chance.

Tomorrow I'll be talking @researchedbrum.bsky.social on one of my minor obsessions: Why sometimes people change and other times they don't. I think it's a big reason why most PD fails.

Isn’t that the same as internal isolation? They are excluded but are on site in the inclusion hub.

😂

Are we just going to start putting the word ‘inclusive’ in front of everything now? Inclusive teaching. Inclusive pastoral practices. Inclusive detentions. The last one is mine 😂

You knew he was a racist. And a misogynist. And a liar. And a wannabe dictator. And a scam artist. And that there were umpteen accusation against him of sexual misconduct.

You didn’t just vote for him despite all this. You voted for him precisely because of all this.

I'm gonna keep banging this drum:

AI is a useful tool for an expert, it can provide shortcuts and efficiencies in the same way as many other tech tools do.

AI is a massive problem for anyone inexpert, because it makes stuff up. If you lack expertise you just can't tell how good the output is.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, you lovely people!!

I will send you a copy.

Old? Yes. Great? No.

We got way better results last summer. We just need to get some of the 0% attendance Y11 students into school and we will be truly great.

I think if you signed it yourself, that would be more valuable than me signing it 😂

I find effective spacing in the curriculum is one of the most challenging for subject leaders and schools.

You should have been sent a copy or two.

This is great to read. I think I should print and frame your comment.

It's genuinely very good; very short and very useful. It's had a big influence in how I plan curriculum.
