I'm a secondary SENDCo and English/Theatre/Media teacher. I am passionate about inclusive education and making sure teachers have access to the right CPD. ADHD

I love this meme because it makes me laugh, but before the zombie stuff, it made me think about what I mean when I talk about "inclusion". And for most students, I really mean "integration".

We can do better for more students, but teachers need the time and training and support.

My ADHD therapist calls this "dolphin brain", because you can only see the dolphin above the water surface, not where it swims below.

Sounds just like children whose needs can’t be met in mainstream school but are not severe enough for special school.

Saw a person post about giving sanctions for poor posture and looking out of the window.

It's stuff like that that makes me want to leave teaching, tbh. Feeling like THAT'S something we need to police.

December means it’s time to start making my super world famous Christmas sausage rolls. That’s a sausage meat and stuffing combo mix, FYI.

ADHD-ers usually have an interest-based nervous system. Meaning that a task needs either novelty, urgency, competition or interest for them to be motivated or focused. Learning this and adapting boring, everyday tasks to fit into one of these categories can be life-changing.

@etaknipsa @tes There is a recruitment and retention crisis in education, and "you won't get as much pay elsewhere" isn't going to fix that. Very few people are in teaching for the money and it isn't going to help the state of things if that's the only reason they stay.

A third of teachers and leaders are considering leaving teaching within the next 12 months, a DfE survey shows

Just been in a discussion where I said the system needs to be torn up and restarted. Exhibit A.

[Steve B @75ThunderRoad]

The physical and mental health of educators.
Staff absence...

The physical and mental health of children & young people.
Pupil absence...

Acute stress. Anxiety. Burnout.

Well-being.
EVERYBODY'S WELL-BEING.

It's the same education system.

Isn't it time we joined the dots?

And this is why using your weekend to rest and recharge is essential. Self care is CPD 😊
