These look incredible.

The traits are to varied to make this measurable.

If you *think* you can detect AI videos or writing, you are at a greater risk of being caught out by it.

Thanks for these

Ah, ok.
I hope that goes well.
I've been having a look at your curriculum section. It looks very good!

Is this what you are delivering for the teacher talk radio conference?

Thanks Jonathan.
Without it be fair to call these Rich Tasks or Mathematical thinking tasks?

Are these on mathsbot?

I sympathise a lot with your views.

What changes would you like to see?

Unfortunately I'm unable to see your talk at ResearchEd

Yes. It's because of how repellent many people find the idea of being "not clever."

People then reach for explanations for why some people find learning hard that means they can avoid facing reality.

The ableism is in not being able to see value in people beyond their ability.

Looking at the list I don't know enough or anything about them. Do we know ethnicity, religion, LGBTQ+, disability of those selected?
Is the concern of the overall list or also the balance within subject areas?

17.02.2026 15:06 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Maybe no need, but could there be a reason to?

17.02.2026 08:24 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

What is the make up of the list? What is missing? Which proportions need re-balancing?

Keep reading it'll get more and more mysterious!

@teacherhead.bsky.social hi Tom, would I able to send you an email or DM?

A strong call for high standards, but the key challenge is defining what that means in practice. What specific policies or approaches do you see as most effective in making this a reality for all students?

I heard the 'automatic doors' analogy before - it's a powerful idea.

New webinars: Supporting pupils with SEND to access the curriculum

There can be a tendency to think that pupils with additional needs can’t cope with an ambitious curriculum.

I can't speak for your individual case, and I'm sorry that you had a bad experience.
For specialist support schools need funding and that comes from having an EHCP.
Things can certainly be done better.

Of course, I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make.

You're right, the diagnosis is essential so they can be added to the list, but as you say the indidual needs assessment is the key to getting the child the support they need.

Yes, I worked at a school that stopped printing on coloured paper and I now work at one where it is being phased out.
I think you're right that there isn't additional provision for these students.

The lost art of democratic debate Democracy thrives on civil debate, Michael Sandel says -- but we're shamefully out of practice. He leads a fun refresher, with TEDsters sparring over a recent Supreme Court case (PGA Tour Inc. v. Mar...

It reminds me of this Ted Talk www.ted.com/talks/michae...

It comes down to the purpose of education and as I've seen you argue before, our education system is not designed for those that find learning hard.

Yeah, the idea that being fast at learning is better is so ingrained in our culture that it would take a huge shift to move past it.
When students work more slowly they often think it's because they are less capable which reinforces the problem.

Great! Breaking down until areas of need is an important step. What do you think is most misunderstood about supporting dyslexic students?

19.02.2025 08:53 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I think this comes from a desire to make sense of a child's difficulties in a compensatory way. Saying 'processing differently' can be reassuring and comfortableβ€”similar to what you said in your blog about how you felt about your daughter early on.
