It’s been a pleasure to work with enthusiastic teachers at The Hill this morning focusing on understanding children’s writing development and how best to support these writers! #goodteachingcomesfromunderstandinghowchildrenlearn #vygotsky

@helenwheeler3 #EYFS is limiting curriculum, yet children will still be fascinated by the patterns they see, still enjoy spinning, still love things that are ‘gigantic’ and ‘tiny’. @educationgovuk please take note - young children need their government to recognise their mathematical ambition.

It really is time to trust teachers and parents to share what they know about young children and document their early learning. No test will tell us more than those who live and work with young children can! Stop now! Please? @EducationSheff @MoreThanScore https://t.co/inHcU3K9Vi

Poverty is a key factor in educational under achievement. How about the £10Million+ committed for Baseline Assessment is spent on alleviating poverty so that families don’t struggle to feed their children? Hungry children can’t learn. Child poverty is a national disgrace.

@Concordmoose @astreaacademies Wishing you a speedy recovery Susie! You are being missed! 💐🍇

Whilst feeling the pressures of the data-driven standards agenda, I feel inspired by teachers who have the courage to teach reading comprehension rather than test it. #weighingthepigdoesnotmakeitfatter🐷
