@EmilyKaitlinnn There was a point where I was reading neuroscience papers and drawing pictures of the brain when it occurred to me that I might be taking the research to develop my characters a bit too far.

On the eve of Lockdown 2.0, here's a poem I wrote one month into the first lockdown. It's about being touched.

@naomialderman @adrianhon 2/2 Like the Finnish model. More closely unite classroom practice with good quality research and evidence based approaches. Reconceive teachers as experts in education rather than instructors delivering a one-size-fits-those-who-wrote-it curriculum handed down from on high.

[Rachel Shorer @RachelShorer]

@naomialderman @adrianhon Take all the money currently spent on implementing whatever faddish notion the present education minister has decided is 'the solution' to 'bad education' and invest it in raising the standards of professionalism for teachers. 1/2

@DeanAtta Love this idea. There's a lot of unstructured meeting in the Arts which I sit through thinking about all the writing I could/should be doing instead.
