Tories for a month: BUUUURN ANGELA RAYNER!!!!!

Grant Shapps this morning to Kay Burley: “There’s a process in this country where one is innocent until proven guilty - not guilty simply because an allegation is made.”

Provided “one” is not a working class woman, evidently.

Big news: Doug Lemov has invented a new thing called 'students putting their hands up in class'

People. Respectfully, please stop with, 'I'll use my teacher voice.' No. Use the mic. Use your accessibility voice. The mic helps everyone. #AERA24

Calling all UK university staff who teach, & who are about to start being coached, to take part in a PhD study.
I’m exploring how coaching can be used as a form of compassionate practice in order to resist toxicity in UK universities. Please contact me via email in reply. No DMs

A5 Also really think through the experience of failure, hear from students who've failed. What was it like to hear the news, how did they hear it, what support is available, were they informed about their options? #LTHEChat

A5 Involve your local disability services staff and one or two disabled students to spot (often accidental) discrimination & identify where flexibility would help eg students with fluctuating conditions #LTHEChat

A4 I really enjoyed reading about the 'unessay' in this: students have agency to choose topic and medium openjournals.bsu.edu/teachinghistor… #LTHEChat

A3 In concrete terms I think making information readily and radically available, allowing for improvement and creating a psychologically safe environment where asking questions & needing to improve is okay #LTHEChat

A3 I think it's about a mutual recognition of humanity, remembering that both students and teachers are people first. And perhaps not leaning into unequal power relationships #LTHEChat

Do you have Feelings about having children in the context of climate breakdown (regardless of what these are)? Would you like to talk about it for a research project? I'm still recruiting participants for Future Families Project - see links in my bio or email me for more.

Morning! Started with my homemade brown bread (oddly shaped but still delicious), now off to campus for a day of meetings including admissions & my new CPD portfolio, and a team lunch 👍☕

In this thread, I'm going to discuss the Cass Review's claim about brain maturation continuing past the late teens into the mid-20s. To be clear, there are actually two separate claims involved. (2/23)

So, yeah. Definitely get a second opinion. But also, let’s shift this off patients and onto doctors. Listen to your patients. If you don’t know or understand something, ask for a second opinion yourself. GP surgeries generally have several doctors on staff.

'That the sector continues to treat disabled students not being able to access their education as anything other than an emergency of that nature is a scandal.'

Absolutely. Not one single government minister would be willing to live on £151 a week but if you're doing some of the most important, irreplaceable work a person can do apparently it's plenty.
