This is positive after a slowdown in the reflection of our children’s realities last Year. These reports are so vital and have driven change over time. Well done to all @theclpe.bsky.social

I love this because it recognises that our pedagogies and teaching practices are also important. If you teach a diverse range of books but have never thought about how your institution teachers those it makes pupils of all backgrounds feel, then you’ve not decolonised anything #edusky
