Feeling uncertain increases stress, and not just for students.
From surprise tests to shifting expectations, unpredictability can overload the brain.

'But in rushing to “save” them, we may actually be denying them the very thing that could help them learn: having enough time to think deeply about your question and successfully retrieving the answer.'
The power of pause!

I’m pretty sure every woman leader has had a cry at work. We are human. When our work matters, and we care about it, we feel it.

What happens when we feel we belong?
At High Performance Learning global conference, @profkime.bsky.social explored how belonging, drawing from Bantu African-origin value systems, fuels learning. It’s not optional. It’s essential.

My daughter is taking great pleasure in telling me about the water cycle. I'm having to pretend I'm learning this for the first time, although everything she knows, I already know.

This is a massively important article. It'll hopefully be the start of some important changes for SEND.
After reading this piece in @schoolsweek.bsky.social by @bennewmark.bsky.social, I'm hurtling towards the conclusion that schools should be legally exempt from following interventions listed in an EHCP if they are not backed by high-quality evidence.
Any takers?

Any takers?

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