I don't believe there's such any thing as good reading and bad reading. It's all reading, and it's all good! If we want kids to be readers, we have to respect their rights as readers. Let reading be a pleasure, and they'll be readers forever! #literacy

Final session of the Diversity Conference: Dealing with Homophobia and Transphobia & creating inclusive spaces. Thanks to the brilliant Mark Jennett. Thought-proking and full of resources to apply in practice (including https://t.co/bAFzlxw2eS) @MTEP_Primary

[Prof Tanya Ovenden-Hope PFHEA FCCT FSET @UniEducator]

Fantastic to kick off the @marjonuni trainee teacher conference today. I led a workshop on recognising place-based disadvantage for schools. #PlaceMatters because some schools need more resources than others because of where they are to provide the same opportunities for pupils.
