When I dropped the tea off in an SLT meeting the other day, I noticed a problem: conflicting voices. Disagreement. People CRITICISING TLAC. I have spent the week reflecting and inventing and I have a product that will CHANGE LEADERSHIP. I unveil the Jr SLT Parrot:

I will defend Michaela and direct instruction to THE END. I've built my career and fame on these approaches, and I'm not about to let the silly woke 'breadth brigade' ruin it for me.

Sorry it's been a while. I've been busy writing my latest book. It's full of my reflections on my colleagues' lessons when I was a trainee. Again, you're all welcome.

Shared willingness to improve develops landscapes beyond the cognitive fringe. But epistemological development ontologically underscores community. What do you reckon @Hayo_luke?
