Listening to this great #EnglishGrammarDay presentation by @zarashah.bsky.social and @hwimbushenglish.bsky.social on the power that comes from understanding how language works - may all our children encounter such enlightened teachers!

On "the motherhood penalty in action", Emma Sheppard of #MTPTproject writes for #DiverseEd: www.diverseeducators.co.uk/equal-pay-day/

Equal Pay Day | Diverse Educators
