Can't add a picture to a quote tweet so I'll get to that in a sec, but I'm pretty sure I made this happen... x.com/bethgg/status/45270169…

#DuvetKnowsItsChristmas is happening over on BSky this year, but if you're still enjoying the hashtag here, bung an extra present in the pot, yeah? gofundme.com/f/duvet-know-it…

When I designed the Behaviour Hubs program I deliberately insisted that the advisory team strongly represented the special school sector, with over half of the team from it: Marie Gentles, John d’Abbro, Charlie Taylor. This was because without that expertise, we would miss an enormous seam of talent.

I know I've banged on about it before, but @lostdogdance are the most extraordinary company. It's not just dance, & not punctuations of dance like songs are used in a musical; it's like an extention of their words & bodies & sounds & physical CGI & it's funny & heartbreaking.

We had a lovely day yesterday seeing some art, some artefacts, a brother and his lions, and then the most beautiful theatre (@lostdogdance, you didn't let me down). My feet are sore and my eyes are sleepy, but it was good 🥰

Today is rocket jumper day. And Smyths. Again.

Probably worth doing another 'I'm over there 🦋' post isn't it...

I see a lot of things like this when reading around alternatives to 'academic' assessment pathways for pupils with SEND. It looks structured and formalised but falls apart when you look at how to measure, or even agree on meaning. There's a serious risk of lowering expectations.

3⃣ fire engines are in attendance at this incident on Loughborough Road, Ruddington, following a call shortly after 12pm today. Our colleagues at Nottinghamshire Police have closed the road in both directions. Please avoid the area whilst we deal with this incident.

Yo dweebz I’m gonna be posting on bluesky as well as here at the below handle 👇 mralistairgreen.bsky.social

New policy organisation that wants to be like an Office for Budget Responsibility but for policy making in education by providing better evidence for ministers on what works My piece 👇

Came home earlier than usual to join @SCottinghatt's Cognitive Coaching and adaptive expertise webinar, and because I was already at home I had time to make mid(ish) week trimmings for our tea. #DoubleWin 🥰

Beautiful

I had the radio on in the car this morning because I wanted to hear the new #Moana2 song, but I podcasted on the way home and have only dipped into the BBC news site today. I'm not sure I'm ready for a full news programme at 6...

Two of the most qualified women in the country ran for president against an unqualified, racist game show host who had a history of committing fraud and sexual abuse. And the country was basically split 50-50. That should tell us some things.

There's almost a desperation on the Tory side for Labour to be engaging in some kind of ideological revolution on education when they're just not. All fairly minor tweaks (not all of which I agree with).

A reminder that Bluesky has proper blocking; no algorithm so you can see the tweets from everyone you follow; and no link suppression to suit Musk's personal views. I'm on the same handle over there.

Bravo to change makers @JonnyUttley @TEAL_Trust who are offering enhanced maternity: “from day one, 18 weeks on full pay and eight on half pay for teachers and support staff… & uncapped paid leave for women who suffer a miscarriage.” 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻 theguardian.com/teacher-netw…
