"A debate beyond ideology", you say?
Please accept this communication - made in good faith - as an open offer to debate the rigour and substance of your @ICPConnect article with me in any forum, Matt.
ASEPA Conference 2026??? 😉
Inclusion ≠ placement.
Matt Johnson calls out the inclusion illusion: closing schools doesn’t create equity. Real inclusion invests in teachers, safe settings & parental choice.

@adamboxer1 What is the cultural mix of those tracked groupings? Hattie rejected ability grouping because it resulted in inequity & educational research showed negligible impact (close to 0). He literally called it "apartheid". Are you comfortable that's not happening?https://t.co/MnymrRS3iJ
@FamAdvocacyNSW The NSW Public Education System provides examples of segregation to its teachers as "inclusion". It comes into the video at the 3 second mark. https://t.co/V40oocOq4t
@MelAinscow BTW - I'm not saying "accept the cheating". I think the article suggests a better solution towards the end. Know your students. Check student knowledge and understanding throughout the topic, not just at the end.
@MelAinscow Perhaps.. but this assessment type is least favourable to certain cohorts, and doesn't provide them with the best opportunity to show what they know. If we over-react by making oral exams mandatory, aren't we moving away from UDL and inclusion?
It was lovely to be at the Educators SA final event of the year yesterday. What a year it's been. Great support for education associations across the state!
Happy International Day of People with Disability! Any great recommendations for books or other materials from lived voices? As a movie lover, I'm really looking forward to this in 2026: https://t.co/GL9ldUAl8L #IDPD2025

@neilhumphreyUoM@JohnBaldLangLit One of the most interesting aspects was the lack of any reduction of external suspensions. (It kind of removes that "perceived benefit"). The lack of transparency has been a concern of systems for a long time...
Looking forward to speaking at the next HDA event (South Australia) on strengthening inclusion. Please share with your networks. https://t.co/Th2lbYNYvu
