Also my plan. Also the result. 😫. Did a cool scholarship project on #AcWriMo though. Thinking of a wee online PhD supportive writing group for Jan if you are up for it?

Fascinating discussions with teachers and school leaders today about children’s rights and the important role that schools play.

Funding, curriculum, technology, the impact of poverty and mental health, participation and the importance of working with families.

Inspiring stuff.
