Why does a teacher of a 16-year-old in a school sixth form deserve a pay rise, but not a teacher of a 16-year-old in a college? If, like me, you think all teachers deserve the pay rise, please sign this petition👇 chng.it/d8cbBjG5Yw #loveourcolleges #publicsectorpay

Stressed brains can't learn, think, or make the best decisions. It does not have the ability to absorb and retain information. How it does have the ability to learn is how safe it feels within its environment. Educators need to know this. Basic neuroscience. 🧠🌱

Had an absolutely blinding day working with all college staff at Lakes College in Workington, West Cumbria. Topped off with an action-figure meme of me, plus a beautiful drive through the Lake District, North Yorkshire and the Brontë Countryside - oh my, some of those views!
