It is deeply concerning to see this coming out from the Reform party. We should be moving towards a society that celebrates and advocates for children so that they can be themselves.

Spreading misinformation creates barriers rather than removes them. Our politicians must do better.

He adds that a new national curriculum should be more evidence-based and offer teachers autonomy to "innovate" when they teach.

Such an interesting podcast, and I would recommend to anyone working in Education to give this a listen.

It is a students right to have access to supports that they need to be successful within a way that is meaningful, purposeful and individualized for each child!
