Today was launch day for a project I took part in that aims to help improve understanding of autism in educational settings. In the words of one of the young actors, ‘it means the world when people understand.’ #taketimetoallowtime@tripleaproject @NHSCumbriaCCG @cockermouthsch
The 26th December marks the Manx tradition of Shelg yn Drean - The Hunting of the Wren. The captured wren is symbolically caged atop a decorated pole. As in the traditional song, Robin the Bobbin was the first to arrive to mark the day. #huntthewren#boxingday#manx#tradition
@Bowtie_pedagogy@Team_English1 We use them every lesson and have done so for years. This has narrowed down where they can be used effectively and where not. Happy to share ideas around this if needed.
@RobGMacfarlane Wish I was at home to consult the shelves and provide a more specific response. From what I can recall, many texts had images that remind me of artists like Rackham. Fonts were restrained, classic in style. Colourwise, muted colours but not always from a restricted palate.
@oldandrewuk A request to fill in a form embedded into the email. Except the form is not interactive and you have to make a new one before you can complete/return it.
@HaleDonal Great stuff. Ongoing monitoring and decisions about the nexts steps for each student will be key to maintaining/building on this progress. I implemented a whole school/intervention for literacy over two years ago. The gains are not maintained without ongoing support.
🚨 COGNITIVE ENGAGEMENT! For new knowledge to be encoded in long-term memory, we must DRIVE THINKING and ensure that students are cognitively engaged. This poster summarises how you can push ALL students to think hard.

@RobGMacfarlane It’s certainly something I always ask my students to do. Ideally, the cadence and rhythm of the piece should come alive and you can hear the ‘voice’. As you say, it’s also great for spotting errors that the eye skips over.

I use recent research to create my photos-looking at them is likely to alleviate anxiety & lift mood. The process of creating my photos calms my autistic brain:
