Great first day back today! I presented on the Responsible Behaviour Curriculum - a curriculum to support emotional and social development of children. Here are the slides I used.

Teaching my son to drive honed my thinking on effortful learning can be.

I'M IN SHOCK 😲

Thank you to everyone who attended my metacognition and oracy talk today @researchED1, and sorry for those who couldn't find space - I can't fathom that it was so popular as to overflow onto the corridor!

I'm delighted to share my slides for the session here: https://t.co/SzogR3nmvw

Please share!

As @bphillipsonMP and this extremely disappointing government ramps up more parent blaming and shaming,I'd like to offer an alternative

If you are interested in training to work 'WITH' rather than against parents and want to understand and support them better please DM me

[Mrs B 🙋🏼‍♀️ @KellyLBuxton]

@jazampawfarr @grahamchatterl2 @DTWillingham I try! 🤣
