A provocative start from Prof Paul Miller, challenging us to think about colonialism, decoloniality and curriculum. Lots to take forward with our ITE students.

Loved our co-creation event today with fabulous @leedstrinity.bsky.social PGCE students. Thinking about representations of our past, present and future selves in the teaching profession. Incredible thought-provoking discussions and lots of creativity in the room @aligriff.bsky.social

On #InternationalWomensDay I'd like to celebrate these two legends. Big Nan who lived life to the fullest. Mum who has been there through everything and nearly exploded with pride at my doctoral graduation. From mill worker to academic in three generations 💗
