One of the tools in my coaching and development toolkit is Bibliotherapy. Using books to connect with how we feel, or to explore a challenge, can be enlightening- I did this as a teacher daily! Pause, take 5 and connect with your purpose . youtu.be/zL0BVez5ois?feature… @HeadsUp4HTs

What a powerful scene from #StreetGangs - @G_Armstrong21 sums up perfectly how it only takes one teacher to believe in a pupil which can alter the whole trajectory of their life. Powerful stuff; one that will resonate with people of all ages.
Sometimes all you need is someone to believe in you. #StreetGangs is available to watch now on @BBCiPlayer bbc.in/3F33QCE

Inspiring professional dialogue at our ‘Let’s Talk Learning & Teaching’ CLPL today. We used @JamesNottinghm #learningpit as a stimulus to generate great discussion on meeting learning needs and adapting teaching. I was so inspired by the chat! @Greenwood_Acad

Being trauma aware does NOT mean: no boundaries, ignoring behaviour, letting children get away with things! It means: understanding the root causes of behaviour and dysregulation, using natural consequences that make sense and supporting children.

What an amazing experience @Columba1400 with a fabulous group of people #Cohort101! I intend to keep tight hold of the lessons learned over the last few days. Ardoch is a very special place and I very much appreciated my time there. @SirTomhunter @scotgov @Greenwood_Acad

Trauma informed education is not a checklist, it's not a program,and it is not a curriculum. It is a change in mindshift. How we talk to our young people in the context of relationships and the feeling of safety through an approach of brain and body state of connection. 🧠🌱

Come on @HM_Passport you need to sort this!
Been waiting on my passport for 4 full months now yet others getting theirs in two weeks. Now almost certain to miss my niece's wedding in Italy next week. @HM_Passport this is beyond a joke! They don't even let you speak to a human on the phone. @ScottishSun @GOVUK
