Love this.
Some of my favourite moments are always of athletes from other countries.
My story of Olympic spirit from Athletics on Saturday.
I sat by a lovely man from Australia. He kept pulling out new flags from his bag & waving them. I asked him about it,
“I bring the 9 smallest nations flags with me as they won’t have many people in the stands” 🥹

Finding events really hard, like most people, but those people are not ‘protesters’.
✖️Protesters
✅ Rioters
✅ Looters
✅ Arsonists

Is it the perceived results of implementation?
E.g. CPD for basketball I get 15 new drills, more knowledge of rules, basic tactics. This is then EASY for me to deliver, so impact is very quick and noticeable.
Most behaviour CPD doesn’t work in the same way.
When it comes to CPD, teachers usually pick subject over behaviour management.
But we all know behaviour is increasingly tricky.
What does this tell us about the experiences teachers have of behaviour management CPD?

I believe there are lots of educators who want to have the tough, nuanced, complex conversations around behaviour.
It’s just hard to be heard on this platform.

Lots of talk about Labour’s intentions concerning behaviour in schools (due to article of conjecture).
1. We aren’t the priority for this government
2. Their only levers are funding, Ofsted and restructuring.
3. Of these, I think Ofsted most likely.

Interesting thread, where we discuss alternatives to internal exclusion practices. I encourage you to read it and weigh the strength of the arguments in their own merit
Interesting thread 🧵
A thread about the use of isolation and what schools and MATs need to know about its use in their settings. theguardian.com/education/ar…

I keep an eye on outliers when it comes to #suspensions.
In the latest data, a school with a headcount of 468 that gave 1886 suspensions.
A suspension rate of *403%* (national average is 9.3%).
