Inspired by so many ace sessions @AdvanceHE conference 4 supporting mental health today. Look 4ward to embedding ideas 2 improve student experience. Good to see a few sessions about #staffwellbeing. As Brewster et al. argue,we must look after staff so they can look after students

[Korrin Smith-Whitehouse @korrin_sw]

Education academics recruited 'mini researchers' from @eastmidsacademy - local school children - to work with them on wellbeing #research.

For one of those projects, children from @CastleAcad co-created a book about their #emotions. 📖🏫👇

@JeanEd70 @JuliaCa20602661 Thanks for sharing @JeanEd70

[Julia Caro - Lampard Inquiry SEND/ND Campaign Lead @JuliaCa20602661]

This morning he was worried about school…

Right now he is masking.

This evening he will have a 3 hour long meltdown and scream and smash furniture. He will sob uncontrollably and won’t be able to control himself. He is developing eczema and asthma and can only bring himself to eat yellow food. He stutters sometimes.

Next year he will stop going to school.

A couple of years later he will become an inpatient with a low chance of survival.

But let’s keep it cheap and let’s fail children and lie about it…

[Korrin Smith-Whitehouse @korrin_sw]

Loved this; good work x

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE, a thread 🧵

As Covid cases soar to potentially record-breaking levels, DfE has just launched a tone-deaf new school attendance campaign:

“This morning, he had a runny nose… but look at him now!”

So I fixed it for them… 👇🏻

[Korrin Smith-Whitehouse @korrin_sw]

Absolutely tone deaf.... @bphillipsonMP

Listen to them; they are voting with their feet, and for good reason

#schoolrefusal
#attendancematters

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

The single biggest problem in education today: children aren’t at school.

Labour has a plan to get our children into school and learning again.

Excellence must be for everyone.

[Korrin Smith-Whitehouse @korrin_sw]

@AEBinney @magmapoetry Amazing. Well done x

New article out today exploring ‘distributed authorship’ of young people with learning disabilities writing iPad stories: https://t.co/J4NXAD4YSV

[UniofNorthamptonNews @UniNhantsNews]

“People have these stories they are dying to tell. We've tapped into an appetite for sharing them.”

@korrin_sw spoke with BBC Northampton’s @DaisieeBelle about poetry writing for public sector professionals.
