So....we’ve kicked off our first #whatnowweek with Independent Thinking and it’s an amazing session with L30 Relational Systems & Simon Flowers from Carr Manor High School on #restorativepractice. Ian Gilbert leading the session today.

Our values are key - when am I the best version of myself? Takes us back to who we truly ‘are’. Independent Thinking Jackie Beere Gill Kelly

#bristol has been talking about race, education, inequality and inequity long before this protest - the mayor Marvin Rees talks about how to tackle leadership diversity here. @bbc could learn a lot from his approach. Educationalists worth a RT?

The tide is turning, evidence continues to grow. When children feel better, they do better. Proud of the work we are doing & the schools embracing the approach. T-I isn't the absence of expectation or limits but compassion & empathy are game changers! ow.ly/jehd50BOZVE

#betterbelonging discussing the benefits of a sense of belonging in schools at our conference happening now..

#betterbelonging does your school give students and staff a sense of ‘home’?

#betterbelonging encouraging a wide sense of belonging improves productivity of an organisation

Homophily is the barrier to belonging for all? ‘Inclusion illusion’ #betterbelonging

What do living systems need to be healthy? A forest, a coral reef, a team, a school ? #betterbelonging
