Inequality is soaring, the climate is collapsing, and public services are at breaking point. On Tuesday 25 March, 5pm, weโ€™ll be joining this rally outside the Treasury to demand the Chancellor taxes extreme wealth to invest in people and planet. See you there? #makethempay

Social mixing in school is good for social mobility. All the more reason we need to reform school admission codes to stop the stratification between schools with high and low numbers of disadvantaged kids we see today. ๐Ÿ‘‡ โฆThe Sutton Trustโฉ apple.news/ATVS743VwTKmOfโ€ฆ

People in Scotland are fed up with cuts/excuses/a system that puts the wealthiest first. We all feel it in our bones: itโ€™s indefensible to slash public spending that supports those who need it most while private wealth is quietly stashed away. Time for fairness & fair taxes.

That's great if you want to produce selfish individuals who put their own interests first and don't value views of others. Not so good if you want to help young people develop into caring citizens who value the benefits of collaborating with others to solve real world problems.

That's great if you want to produce compliant individuals who follow rules obediently without asking questions or impose their ideas on others. Not so good if you want to help young people develop agency, critical thinking and contribute towards making the world a better place.

Not sure I'd describe any teacher as 'lazy'. Teaching approaches reflect the type of learner you want to nurture... Obedient, compliant, good at remembering facts, procedures? ... Or creative, independent, good at applying ideas to new situations and solving real life problems?

It was a pleasure to be asked to write this book review. I learnt so much from all of the authors. Teachers of Maths Tony Cotton is coming to LJMU TeacherTraining to speak with our PG students regarding teaching mathematics for social justice. ๐Ÿคฉ

Aimed at teachers interested in addressing issues of social justice in the classroom. This book is based on the premise that conventional approaches to teaching maths do not adequately address the needs of all learners or the needs of society as a whole. bit.ly/socijus

๐ŸŽ‰ Weโ€™ve won Free School Meals for 500,000+ more children! This is an incredible breakthrough. But the fight isnโ€™t over โ€”ย means-testing still leaves far too many behind. We won't rest until we win #FreeSchoolMealsForAll so every primary pupil can get the best start in school.
