Just finished superb recording of MindtheGap with Kat Howard @SaysMiss and @ProfArleneHH about their wonderful book Reviving Rhetoric. Brilliant stuff - and so interesting how rhetoric and oracy intersect. The books is free to download here: taylorfrancis.com/reader/dow…

I also think it’s a good example for those of us who, in this moment, are on the backfoot when it comes to policy direction.
It shows how to make the argument with clarity, with grace and in good faith.
Much more powerful than sneering, smug posturing or purity tests.
This long read from Daisy is rightly getting a lot of attention. It sets out where we’ve been, where we are and where we’re now going.
It shows that, even if a policy shift is inevitable, we needn’t repeat mistakes from the past.
Anyone with policy influence must read.

Why do we spend so much on software, then keep a spreadsheet to do the bits it can’t?
At CELT, we’ve been using AI to build tools around how we want to work, from recruitment workflows to meeting management and support for learners.

"I'm not going to apologise".
Andy Burnham tells @MattChorley he's not sorry for his appearance on a special edition of Gogglebox.
He explains he wants to lead the country "with levity and positivity".

I am deeply fascinated by the modern right's insistence that "the elite" is a category that does not actually include the ultra wealthy who dominate society and dictate many of its laws, and is instead made up of socialist teachers, anti-genocide protestors, and "woke" baristas.

1 in 10 with an EHCP in one school means I won’t be doing that AGAIN (3 times already) but every piece of equipment and every resource will be held together by sticky tape. Is that what this generation deserve? Inclusion costs

Spoke to @BenKentish @LBC this afternoon about the potential impact of the unfunded teacher pay rise- especially on our collective ability to meet the increased (rightly so) expectations for SEND through inclusive mainstream.
The ambition needs to be funded.

I contributed to this because teachers’ pay and children’s support should never be placed in competition with one another.
The consequences of a partially funded award will fall unevenly, with schools serving communities facing the greatest disadvantage often worst equipped
Exclusive: Schools will be forced to cut special needs support staff in order to fund a share of the teacher’s pay rise, teachers have warned.
The i Paper has spoken to multiple headteachers and school leaders who say that despite suggestions the pay rise is “fully funded” at a “national level”, many schools will still face a shortfall and will need to find cash afford the 3.5 per cent pay award.
With finances already stretched, SEND staff will feel the brunt of cost-cutting which is likely to result, they argue.
It comes as local authorities are being driven into a projected deficit of £10.4bn by 2028 over the size of the bill for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) as more children need support – 1.8 million children in England have special educational needs, a rise of 91,400 (5.2 per cent) since 2025.

Caller Puneet explains the ‘devastating emotional impact’ cutting teaching assistants would have on SEND children.
