One in every classroom has a degree of #colourblindness - Marie was a fantastic guest to shed light on why we need to do more to support these pupils 🎧
13 Feb 2025
Did you know that 300 million people worldwide live with #colourblindness, including 3 million in the UK, with about 450,000 being children? 🧐
Sadly, many of these undiagnosed children are let down by the education system 🎧

Do you find yourself yelling at your child from the bottom of the stairs? Or dealing with a sobbing child while rushing to work? 🤔😞
We all have 'core scripts' from childhood that shape our interactions. But do these phrases actually work? 🎧

As many of you know, this podcast is one I could record all day long! Tune in to see how effective assessment is used in this SEN classroom using Connecting Steps 🎧 #podcast #teachersofx #assessment
9 Jan 2025
Many schools face challenges in demonstrating progress for pupils with SEND, and assessment can often feel a bit mundane 😵💫
However, it’s a crucial aspect of our educational practice, & a key element of #Ofsted requirements 🎧

My favourite quote of the year is featured in this episode - 'From Ted Lasso - 'Be curious, not judgmental'. Great #podcast with @tiggertraining
12 Dec 2024
Tigger emphasises that while many professionals are well-intentioned, many are stuck using outdated training from decades ago 😔
This can lead to harmful assumptions & practices that negatively impact the lives of #autistic individuals 🎧 @tiggertraining
