Rewriting Our World is back.
Every Thursday I’ll be publishing new writing about disadvantage, pedagogy, and the ideas at the heart of my doctoral research — including the framework I’ve spent the last few years building: the Prism of Pedagogy.

Excited to share that I’ll be presenting at the IPDA International Conference 2026 in Dublin this June.
My session, Refracted Spaces, explores how two students can sit in the same English classroom yet experience entirely different pedagogical worlds.

@HLearningPD
I’m really pleased to be speaking at #LitdriveCPD26 this July.
I’ll be exploring how scaffolding in English can sometimes limit, rather than extend, students’ thinking — and what we can do about it.

When does support becomes a ceiling? It was fascinating to hear @educatingruss research at @researchEDBrum How do you move beyond your teacher anxiety and give them the space to develop their learning? 🧵2/6

𝐀𝐥𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐬! A brilliant day at @researchEDBrum a genuine “holiday for the mind”. Ideas, challenge, warmth and connection all in one place. Grateful to everyone who gave up their Saturday to learn together.

Attaching a visual summary here.
How we support matters.
Are we building capability — or limiting it?
@MathsWebb Thank you so much! It really means a lot.
If it lingers, then we touched something real. I wanted it to challenge how we interpret hesitation and what we do next.
Really grateful you engaged with it so thoughtfully 😃
What a brilliantly thought provoking session by @educatingruss
How often do we consider proxies for attention / inattention?
Do we consciously sharpen our professional noticing often enough?
This session will continue in my head for a long time.
More support isn’t always more progress.
I’ll be exploring how well-intentioned support can unintentionally cap thinking — and how to challenge disadvantaged students without lowering expectations.
