Excellent blog. Dovetails with @Miss_Snuffy's comment that one of the most dangerous phrases in education is "oh that's a good idea". Schools need a strong and simple core to revolve around, or they become a mess of misaligned Shiny New Things.
Why do systems in schools fail? .Great thinking on leading & uniting around values by @Mr_Raichura.

Likewise! My whole worldview on education would be completely different (and worse), would be in a different job, all sorts. Quite mad to think about really.
It's not even an exaggeration to say my life wouldn't be the same if i hadn't joined twitter around 5 years ago. Because of EduTwitter, I've written for TES, OUP, spoke to Journo's from Observer/Guardian, MailOnline, NBC, been interviewed on Swedish tv, podcasts etc /1.

If the Daily Express, Piers Morgan and Alistair Campbell have all come round to recognising what's happening, there's no room for doubt. It's a livestreamed genocide. Starmer and Lammy should be in the Hague for enabling it.
Don't think they're successfully controlling public opinion on this one

Nice little piece on threshold - well worth a read.
If we want students to learn relational confidence, we must first train adults to embody it. This has become part of my daily routine: I pick a staff member and stand with them on the threshold, shoulder to shoulder, modeling it in real time.

This is bang on. Almost all decision making is based on copying - adults included - because there are too many decisions to weigh up from first principles, so we follow the norms. Also everyone likes to fit in. Social norms are the biggest behaviour lever we've got.
