These are my own thoughts, except the RTs, which I wish were mine.

I say that a mistake we are making in education is that we are pretending that young people are essentially all the same, and that their needs can be met with a standardised package of education. We treat them as blank slates, as buckets to be filled. 2/

Calling all teachers, educators and librarians!

🚀The new #Explodapedia series of science books lifts off next week (@DFB_storyhouse, me & @MooseAllain)

Since it's a brand new concept in non-fiction publishing, we just want to say a few things by way of introduction🧵1/n

Lakers is a social and recreation Club in Bray, Co. Wicklow, looking after individuals with intellectual disabilities, with 300+ members and 60+ classes a week. Fire destroyed their premises in 2018, they are now close to building a new home. Any donations would be amazing!

@RCSLTpolicy @ClaireCoutinho @thepacecentre it might be useful to share our model for training etc.

@SwailesRuth @Sue_Cowley @Ofstednews What about SEND schools? Don’t think I’ve ever met an inspector who really understood the pupils we work with. Inspectors with SEND experience are vanishingly rare. (And also there’s a huge amount of variability in who the schools serve)

Very proud of our team for organising all these activities https://t.co/bPgD1Epd8l

@SEN_advice @MattHancock Agreed. How about DLD or Autism? No need to single out conditions. They can ALL present a barrier to learning. Address the SEND system in its entirety. The system is fundamentally flawed. A 51 week for tribunals is just one example of how broken it is.

[Miss C @carolineaplin]

Exactly this. No increase in funding and thousands of pounds needed for deserved salary increases. Special schools due to staff numbers are going to be the hardest hit.

[Special Needs Jungle @SpcialNdsJungle]

NEW POST: New research from both Ofsted and the Office for National Statistics offer further evidence that lack of funding, training and specialists damages children with SEND https://t.co/9AQR34tAlj

Why #TheQueue is part of Britain's Covid Recovery - or else Britain's Covid Recovery Decline. And why I think the media should be talking more about this. A THREAD.
