"Amid the well-publicised crisis in support for SEND, budget cuts & the fragmentation of specialist support in schools, there is a high level of confusion about how dyslexia should be identified & supported." Dr Megan Dixon, Julia Carroll, Caroline Holden & Maggie Snowling in Tes 1/2

"..You have the right to be angry sometimes" - Little My, character in the Moomin books by Tove Jansson who first appeared in 1950. She is small, determined, mischievous and fiercely independent and partly based on the author herself. #WomensArt #Monday

Another regular reminder…. Informed consent is a legal (and ethical) duty. If you post videos of yourself teaching, where you and your pupils are easily identifiable, you must ensure you have signed written permission- for every child (or their parent/guardian. #safeguarding

The 1 million children with Developmental Language Disorder in the UK deserve an awful lot better from Department for Education. I genuinely don't understand how the Department is looking after their futures after not including them in this group.

We have to be very careful making assertions about examples of "great" or "the best" teaching. There is no consensus on what that means. I'd certainly never want it claimed of my own personal style. The profession needs open critique of many approaches, not the adulation of one.

I remember when asking Dweck about her mindset theory invited comments that you could hardly get an objective view from someone who was so invested in the theory. So, why would we only ask a view on the 'science of learning' from the most invested? It reeks of new gatekeeping.

Zoe Enser 🐉 Yes, and I see that. Teachers should be mindful, though, that they don't let a new layer of educational elites take away their thinking, be they other trusts, charities, consultants, or academics.
