Such an interesting quick read. Finally someone speaking up for all SENDCOs, the amazing work they do and how this needs to be recognised across all levels of the education sector. 👏🏽 🙏🏻

No more SENDCos. The role needs a new title and status https://t.co/SvLxVQZrBp

@CheltenhamBC @GlosCC @GlosRoads 👍🏼Interesting when I asked the workers about diversion, considering the next road along has no signs directing traffic through it despite it being a two way road, I was told CBC had been out to ask the same thing!🙈Thought a streetworks permit should’ve been agreed? @GlosRoads

[Sarah Pates @SarahP_SEND]

Apparently @CheltenhamBC don’t know about this ridiculous diversion of traffic in St Paul’s. A diversion with a million signs that lead both ways through a small residential road that is only wide enough for one vehicle. Road works company can’t move as subcontracted. #shitshow

Great morning spent with @NataliePacker discussing all things SEND. Looking forward to the next session and all the insights that come with it. #SEND

Goodbye, raised hands. Hello, thumbs up—a participation strategy that enables *all* students to join the conversation, not just the fastest or most vocal ones. 👍🏾 #HowLearningHappens

[Sarah Pates @SarahP_SEND]

An interesting thought…would be keen to know what SEND educators think of this and what people do when creating SMART personalised targets for pupils that need to be measurable…
Answers on a postcard…GO!!

We never back down from a dare

[Sarah Pates @SarahP_SEND]

@AldiUK Yes to this! Every time I go in my hopes and dreams are dashed when I discover just the protein pudding label on the shelf and a lowly rice pudding sitting in their would be place…😞

Who’d have thought that sleep, listening, caring and reading would dramatically enhance a child’s outcomes in life?!…🤔Some key messages from Helen Pearson. 👏🏽

Sporting some great headwear this morning. 😩But what do you even call the sticky little spherical critters? #bobbybutton #stickybud

[Sarah Pates @SarahP_SEND]

@NASUWT I agree. Was having this conversation with non teaching colleagues and discussing th lack of pay increase/bonuses/incentives for working there are in this profession, whilst demands on time and expectations are going through the roof. They couldn’t believe how we stay in the job!

The book has been written in collaboration with royal experts and historians and will be published by @dkbooks.

Spot of light reading on a Friday night…fingers crossed it’s worth it!!🤞🏼

[Sarah Pates @SarahP_SEND]

An absolute teacher and childhood dream to listen to @MichaelRosenYes discuss how reading and poetry can have such a big influence on language development and enjoyment. Listening to him recite his poetry, first hand, has made my day. #LinkLive22 #poetry

[Sarah Pates @SarahP_SEND]

Kim Griffin @Griffin_OT providing a really practical and informative talk about the importance of the relationship between movement and language development being interdependent in order to promote children’s language acquisition. Opportunities everywhere! #LinkLive22
