Such an amazing opportunity to participate in the Lessons From Auschwitz course with @HolocaustUK over the last few weeks. Two extremely informative seminars and a one day round trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau later, I am feeling much better equipped for the classroom!
I think sometimes we forget (or never knew) the overlapping traits between Autism, ADHD, and Giftedness. Some of our students even have two of these exceptionalities and are referred to as Twice Exceptional (or 2E). Both of my sons are 2E. Please take a minute to read about it and study this Venn Diagram for a visual representation. They have more in common than you might think!

History teachers what are your favourite metaphors & analogies to assist your explanations in order to aid understanding in the introductory phase of learning?

I have never felt so appreciated by my students. The biggest whirlwind of a year, supported by the greatest school and staff. All the hard work has been so worth it and it’s an extremely sad day to be leaving Baxter College. I will miss everyone so much, especially @BarklamMr!
With all that negative around teaching at the moment, and on a very tough day, this amazing student reminds me why I teach and why every minute is worth it🤍 #education
You can't claim to care about children, their education, and their mental health, and not take care of the people who spend the most time with the largest number of children: teachers and school staff.
1.5 hours in the gym this morning, visited my mum, went to the fresh fruit and veg market, visited my Nan and spent the afternoon doing school prep at an enjoyable pace! Easter, I’m going to miss you 😢
