has helped me so much I'm beginning to share my own bits out here!
6yrs ago I stepped out of mainstream into 3rd sector. Skills built in school led to achievements including @Literacy_100. So proud of where the team are taking it. If you need a school break-see where it can take you, don't burn-out. I'm now back in school and better for it.
School is closed and I'm getting over covid 😣 It's also my 1st time remote teaching back in mainstream (SEND) education. Any tips/ things to look at for this crucial time? @Team_English1
Hi #literacy #numeracy #digitalinclusion practitioners from all sectors! This is a great role within which you can apply your skills in a new way to end homelessness: charityjob.co.uk/jobs/crisis…
Special needs pupils being failed by system 'on verge of crisis'- then these children grow older and have to navigate a system that is even more hostile to their needs. #Send

This British-Muslim-Indian girl from a low income background who thought that things were very fixed for her and her career plans has had her mind blown by the brilliance of these speakers. I feel extremely priviledged and proud to have a small space beside them.

So I looked afresh and saw:
*Homelessness doubled
*4.5m children in poverty
*Wages lower today than 10 years ago
*School funding cut, NHS waiting lists longer, social care cut ...
*And making a pig's ear of Brexit

So many 'boisterous' children get diagnosed with ADHD but not autism. Anecdotally the numbers for this are in areas of higher deprivation. It's not just about equal and fair access to SEND support but also to SEND diagnosis.

Plans to develop more literacy specialists is a positive step. However, DYT research out yesterday found that government promises on specialist dyslexia teachers have been left "in tatters" 👉 tes.com/news/plan-more-dysle…

Great but when will the bus services that are used by those on the lowest incomes be improved? And why are the existing local trains so congested and poorly run? This is not benefitting everyone.

Brilliant! This could be a real game changer for many. An autism-friendly environment is a friendly for all environment.
