no, strict behaviour policies dovetail perfectly with ableism, structural racism, and the punitive policing of children's language. doi.org/10.1080/09620214.202…
In an exclusive interview, DfE behaviour and attendance ambassador @tombennett71 tells Tes why strict behaviour policies help pupils with SEND to ‘flourish’ ⬇️

So pleased that my first article, co-authored with @quintincutts , is now published open access dl.acm.org/doi/full/10.1145/… Nerve-wracking to present at #UKICER but a great experience! Looking forward to exploring the paper’s ideas with our students and teachers #CASConf25

Please can you put me in contact with however deals with accessibility at @DavidLloydUK - not at the individual club level but at the organisational level. Being offered chair yoga whilst still having to pay the same fees misses the point.
Great team to work with! Please share with your networks jobs.edgehill.ac.uk/vacancy.…

Recommendations to add to a literature list focused on the relationship between reading & computing? Asking for a teacher who will collate and share with others. She's interested in whole-school approaches & the impact on her subject. Thanks 🙏

Delighted to share our paper on a pair programming intervention with primary school pupils. Although girls’ confidence and engagement increased, the lack of attitude changes highlights systemic barriers to making computing more inclusive for girls.
