Can't believe some of the backlash I've seen over this. It's not that deep. Having a policy where students walk silently for a very small proportion of the day isn't 'abusive'. It doesn't make a school 'dystopian', & it certainly isn't tantamount to denying their human rights...

It’s seriously impressive when you can hear a pin drop during a school’s silent line ups & transitions. Students moving with pace & purpose in a safe & controlled manner, pausing only to greet their teachers with ‘Good Morning/Afternoon Miss/Sir.’

Controversial as it may be, I'm quite anti the SENCo role. Too easy for its existence to perpetuate a departmental, fragmented, approach to supporting SEND - suggesting (despite every teacher, every child) it's one person's job to house the school's knowledge & understanding.

I think this demonstrates how deeply the perception of a 'burden' has penetrated the entire system. So long as schools/teachers (rightly or wrongly) feel a weight to bear in supporting those with SEND, we will not be able to move towards a more inclusive system.

My point here was two-fold: • Many teachers don't see 'SEN spaces' as ones they should be actively involved in, because SEN stuff is the SENCos job • A huge amount of 'SEN spaces' exclusively target SENCos, limiting engagement with the entire teaching population

Slightly different, but I often conclude with "does that make sense?" & don't intend to stop. I don't think it suggests a lack of confidence. Rather, it: - checks understanding - provides a welcome space for questions - prompts verbal confirmation/interaction from a silent group

@AspieDeLaZouch @SendcoSolutions @SensibleSENCO I'm really surprised that someone can call themselves an 'inclusion expert' and perpetuate such problematic positioning. (I'm now keen to join the session, to understand how a title could be so poorly constructed if it doesn't reflect the sentiment of the content. 🤔)

I've often thought this - and therefore worry the popularity of the phrase is more about signalling a particular worldview than actually communicating meaning. (Because, if the latter is the intention, surely "experience" would suffice?)

@JDHaltigan "lived experience" is one of the dumbest phrases ever invented. As if you can possibly somehow have experience that you didn't live through.

@MannyAwo @Mellow_Pascoe This certainly happens in lots of schools, for the reasons you describe. I would also suggest teachers' attendance reinforces the shared responsibility for supporting progress towards outcomes - it's not just the SENCo's job.

Digital developments have certainly improved accessibility. But long live hard copy books and the serenity of physical libraries... 📚🙏🏽 #AcademicTwitter

@karo_urb @drzacharywalker Really interesting, Karolina. Thanks for sharing! Funnily, I'm in the midst of moving the other way - from nearly 15 yrs outside academia into my PhD. Was motivated by a frustration with the (perceived) lack of understanding of the 'real world' from so much research.

Joe Rogan opinions aside - I find it deeply troubling that a lay-person's podcast can be critiqued so severely regarding 'misinformation', while politicians can overtly renage on promises & dance with linguistic avoidance when fact-checked, with limited (if any) recourse.

My gosh, cutting down your writing is painful... Trying to remind myself that writing is thinking - and the process refines your thoughts. The words weren't wasted. (She says, grimacing through deletions!)

Such a fantatsic LAB meeting at @ACoRNSoton today. Grateful to hear from @mum2aspergirl on the incredible pilot training being delivered to Tier 4 mental health staff. A much needed programme to improve the quality of care for autistic people in inpatient facilities.

Absolutely this. Or the more general, knee jerk, response - "what about 'SEND' pupils?" to anything and everything. Erm, which pupils?

Tom Bennett OBE

Exactly this. Children with SEND are not a homogenous group. In fact, by their nature, they are a complex and multifaceted one. Saying eg ‘rows/ cold calling/ no hands up doesn’t work for SEND’ demonstrates a lack of understanding of what SEND provision entails.

The 2022 British Championships = Empty stadium. No mainstream TV coverage. Horrendously poor live stream. Is this what athletics has come to? #BritishAthletics #MullerUKChamps #BritishChamps
