Inclusive classrooms for neurodivergent students are profoundly influenced by the beliefs teachers hold about their students potential to grow and thrive. Looking forward to joining the Global Neurodiversity Online Series Seminar later in the month to explore this further!

Facing a tough challenge or feeling overwhelmed? Try the Circle of Control — a simple, powerful tool to shift focus from what you can't control to what you can. It reduces anxiety and helps you use your energy where it truly matters.

✨ Six months since the release of A Teacher’s Guide to Coaching!
Writing this book enabled me to share a vision of how coaching can create more reflective, empowered, and connected classrooms.
I am so grateful for the conversations it has sparked with educators around the world!

I’m sad to hear the news that the wonderful Jane Goodall is no longer in the world. Her work with chimpanzees at Gombe in Tanzania taught us to look at other apes - and ourselves - differently. I was privileged to meet her later in life and tell her what an inspiration she was to me.

The answer is always more testing, never tackling the root causes. Better resourcing, and better pedagogy through an educational rather than an attainment focus needed.

Commonly said in Scotland’s AifL programme, you don’t make your pig grow by repeatedly weighing it, but we never seem to learn

How do teacher educators handle dis/agreement in the classroom? 🤔
Our BERA-funded international study found:

This book challenges the idea that we can measure everyone by the same “average” standards. From education to work, we’re all outliers in our own way. Highly recommend for anyone interested in rethinking success and human potential!
