The article asks teachers to โdo moreโ โ but doesnโt speak to what good inclusive teaching already looks like, nor celebrate those already doing it. (2/2)
From a teacherโs perspective, this reads more like campaigning than policy. Thereโs no reference to research-based training approaches (e.g., graduated response models, assistive tech, Quality First Teaching strategies) or existing success stories from inclusive schools (1/2)

Just stumbled across the world of teachers filming classrooms for TikTokโno students, but voices heard. Not for CPD, just self-promotion. So many ethical & professional red flags I donโt even know where to start.
