This is an invaluable guide for parents, carers and educators
I used it as a source for my curriculum work with the @LeedsregionAP
Pedagogy is a vital word for parents to be familiar with.
Our good pedagogy guide aims to demystify pedagogy and help parents and other educators.

A fascinating meeting with the inspiring board members for @LeedsregionAP great to have Prof Dominic Wyse in the meeting with @Thelma_DWalker talking about the research & work they do. I was supported by a small black cat for most of it who sat behind my neck & purred - loudly!

Delighted to share - Hope it's a helpful paper to bring #resilience to mind when planning for #schoolreopening.
There is a risk that the narrative around school transition... becomes dominated by the language of risk, trauma, damage...

Loving working with LAPA Board members. Each Head has a wealth of knowledge to share across every phase of Education
LAPA and former @CommonsEd member @Thelma_DWalker delivered a brilliant presentation to the LAPA board on the 4th Industrial Revolution and up skilling marginalised young people for the future economy.
Thelma will lead on LAPA’s next project, with details to be announced later

This, from the outstanding @TheRowansAP, is a pitch perfect video walking pupils through changes & new rules prior to return. 3 minutes of reassurance, clarity, warmth & gentle humour.

“...adolescents are more likely to take risks in ‘hot’ contexts, when emotions are running high”. Excellent article from @marymered on the need for utilising the power of social connectedness when teaching young people about new rules and boundaries in the return to school.
