Too many of our SEND interventions make provision worse We must call out unevidenced practices and debunked ideas pervading EHCPs

4. Except we're building this on an assumption that's highly suspect at least. The @schoolsweek.bsky.social investigation into what was on EHCPs was hair raising. So much dubious practice.

Private Eye article headlined "Minority representation on TV causes outrage" with body text commenting that Reform MPs are only 0.7% of the house of commons and yet are over-represented on the BBC all the time.

I often have a few children who look appalled and ask me why on earth I have subjected them to the horror, then inevitably ask me to read it again!

Sure, there's still lots of nonsense out there, but my opinion is that we are living in an education golden age. Exciting and evidence based approaches to T&L, groundbreaking resourcing, innovative approaches to CPD. What more could you want?

We are blessed.

"A Real Pain" is soooo good. A perfect little film. Beautifully written. Wonderfully cast. Kieran Culkin is as good as he always is. Loved it.

Say what you like about Friends Reunited - at least you didn't have to be fretting about whether you were funding an attempt to build a new Reich.

Communication of pupil-level strategies is a fundamental part of the SENDCO role and is an essential part of a whole-school approach. So what is the way forward, in terms of individualised strategies, so that all children can thrive?

Recently discovered the @schoolsweek.bsky.social podcast. Superb! Two that I’ve enjoyed so far:
1) This interview with Bridget Phillipson and @fcdwhittaker.bsky.social is really thoughtful and interesting. I particularly enjoyed the sections on teacher recruitment and SEND.

One of the things that keeps me going back to Twitter is that I get fairly regular DMs on there asking me for advice about reading.

Just to be clear: I am more than happy for people to DM on here for the same reason.

Please repost this if you think this info might be useful to someone.
