Following a couple of weeks hiatus I am back on #StrathEdD bus, otherwise known as the Saturday writing group! Such great support from Anne Paterson OBE Alison Weatherston @NovaLauderScott @Charlainesi and others. Who knew that policy analysis could be so interesting 🤔? #100daysofEdD

#AcademicTwitter I'm looking for #PhD #EdD theses which break the traditional written format. Focus of the study can be anything but I'm keen to see unique layouts/split pages/uses of visuals/graphics/sketches/ typefaces etc Send me anything you can think of for some #inspiration

On my way north to join Kath McCrorie & Clare Mouat tomorrow at #StrathEdD ethics session. I’ve done my homework, have you? #100daysofEdD

It’s good to be home and see I brought the sunshine! Have had a super morning talking about research ethics followed by some writing with #StrathEdD buddies Kath McCrorie claire mouat @NovaLauderScott. Wish my visit could be just a little longer.

Using time productively on the train journey south. Another tiny step to developing my knowledge #StrathEdD #100daysofEdD

“Teachers are fed up of armchair lawyers telling them what to do in schools” As a teacher, I am fed up listening to THIS man grandstand on Scottish primary schools when he has ZERO experience or knowledge of working in one.

Have been reading Representation in Children's Literature by CLPE and Farrah Serroukh this afternoon. It's a massively important book that needs to be read and discussed in primary schools across the country. 'All children deserve to experience books that reflect their realities'

I’ve read the government’s response to the Select Committee’s Inquiry into Ofsted’s Work with Schools, and it is the most pathetic excuse for can-kicking inaction I have ever seen. It is an absence of a response, a vacuum of responsibility, a void of accountability…

Can I be cheeky, I hope in a good way? I'd really appreciate any HT/CEO who follows me making their staff aware of thealternativebiglisten.co.uk. What would be great is if you could let them have 10 mins to complete it. We dont have the pulling power of Ofsted so we are relying on you.

Probably the most important reminder I’ve had this week from school leaders and coaches is that their most important job is to create schools that staff and students outright enjoy being part of. Nothing else matters without this.

What a fortnight! Absolutely buzzing from my first Blair Atholl Jamborette! ⚜️ So many new friends and incredible experiences - Roll on 2026 #Scouts

Let’s not forget that while Ruth Perry’s family, friends & colleagues were grieving, top Ofsted people- who didn’t even bother to contact them- received fantastic pay bonuses. And let’s not forget Spielman’s disgraceful comments on Woman’s Hour.

Good to see this - but an important priority is how to recapture agency within an ecosystem that increasingly endeavours to deskill teachers in ever new ways.
