Really interesting, @hugheshaili.bsky.social & @nansiellis.bsky.social: schoolsweek.co.uk/an-impoveris... I think @robin-macp.bsky.social & @katejonesteach.bsky.social's book, 'The Teaching Life', is really good on this. www.amazon.co.uk/Teaching-Lif... 2/2
An impoverished work-life drives too many teachers out
The default position that teaching should be professionally (and sometimes personally) all-encompassing is a retention own-goal

7/Excellent talk next from @benniekara.bsky.social on considerations of #Intersectionalities. Loved the phrase about #microaggressions being "death by a 1000 cuts". Very true. #DiverseEd

6/After a nice lunch, we're now listening to Laura McConnell, teacher and neuro-inclusion campaigner. Asking ua to consider the difference between inclusion v accessibility. I see that as the difference between equality and equity. #DiverseEd

He says that he spent most of his life in silence, watching.
Watching Jews in Post war East London being hated for being Jews.
"What I saw was that hate didn't affect the person to whom it was directed but it affected the person who perpetrated it"
